THE FOWLER IN IRELAND. 



SCREW GUN-CRUTCH, 



Fixed to gunbeam by socket plate. 



PLAIN GUN-CRUTCH, 



Fixed to gunbeam by eyebolt. 



Gun-rests. In a single punt that is paddled to 

 fowl over each side, the fowler is at a great disad- 

 vantage who uses a fixed rest. I f he used a movable 

 one, he will say he has no spare hand to see to it ; 

 he therefore lays his gun on its rest of fixed wood
