Yangtze notes-^ichang. 203 



From this short account it will be recognized that Ichang is not a happy hunting 

 ground for the sportsman who only shoots for the sake of the bag, but the ever-changing 

 scene of " gigantic mountains rough with crags," charming glen and secluded vale, awe- 

 inspiring gorge and gloomy chasm, foaming rapid and whirling eddy will compensate the 

 true lover of Nature's handiwork for his want of success with the gun. Let him with gun 

 and rifle bring his net and collecting box, drying paper and camera, and include in his 

 programme the always exciting trip over the Yangtze rapids, and he will acknowledge on 

 his return that loss of time and money have been well repaid.
