CLEVELAND AND ESKDALE. 189 



all blank, as were Falling Foss and Lees Head. 

 They found on the open moor and rattled him 

 merrily along through the belts of plantation to 

 Lees Head, and then ran a ring by Falling Foss 

 and back to Lees Head, and ran him to ground 

 near where he was found. He bolted, and after 

 running a short distance was killed, after a pretty 

 but somewhat ringing run. It was now three 

 o'clock, and several of the field left, but the 

 master determined to try again, and number two 

 was found close to Little Beck. They raced him 

 along at a splittmg pace to Lees Head, and 

 through the High Plantations on to Haybecks. 

 Here the fox took the open moor, and a dense 

 fog having set in, only the select few who had 

 been able to live the pace up to this point had 

 any chance of seeing the end. Night was closing 

 in as they rattled him by the Whinstone Dyke, 

 and by Leede Bogs for Lilla Cross. Darwin Side, 

 Brown Hill, and Bloody Beck were passed, 

 and then skirting Juggra, they ran hard to 

 Baven's Gill. Then by Fowler's AVhin they 

 raced their fox into Harwood Dale, and killed 

 him in the dark in a plantation near Harwood 

 Dale Mill, The time was one hour and thirty-five 

 minutes, and the country as rough an one as could 

 well be met with anywhere. Jack Carr, who had 

 been with Mr. Peters, was huntsman at this time, 

 and was one of the very few that got to the 

 end.
