Apparatus. 



IT may not be amiss to remind the beginner what 

 articles he should know that he has with him before 

 starting for the field (exclusive of having an oilskin 

 gun-cover in case of rain) : viz. powder flask, shot, 

 wadding, a knife, and a flint case, with a gunpicker 

 and turnscrew, which, as well as a little chamber- 

 probe, are usually attached to this case. We will 

 say nothing about a game bag, as a man, who re- 

 quires to be told all this, is very unlikely to kill more 

 than may be contained in his pockets. 



In case he should forget some of these things, I 

 only beg the favour of him to learn one poor line of 

 blank verse, which will be easier remembered than 

 one quarter of what has been here said in prose : 



Take powder, shot, gun, wadding, flints, and knife : 

 or, if with detonater, 



, and cas e.
