Deer eat a good deal of sea weed on this beat and on other 

 beats where the shores are favourable. They devour all horns and

 in a stag's stomach, nearly the size of a pocket handkerchief, and 

 chewed full of holes ; they begin on the bones while an offensive 

 odour is exceedingly apparent. I have twice seen stags with large 

 pieces of skin and leg bone attached entangled in their horns. 

 One of these bone-carriers was the dread of his friends ; the leg 

 bones rattled with a terrible noise against his horns, if he trotted 

 or galloped. Getting our wind, he started off in a hurry, and set 

 in motion several other stags. These were urged to their utmost 

 speed by the noise behind them, while the stag that played 

 " Bones " strained every muscle because he saw the unaccountable 

 panic of the deer in front. It was a desperate hunt. One of the 

 front lot, a very fat bald stag, became so exhausted that he broke 

 away and hid himself, the rest, hunter and hunted, disappeared,
