Xll ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION. 



The incidents described in the following- pag-es are taken from 

 my diary, and are strictly accurate, therefore any information 

 gleaned can be relied upon. I am aware that no great amount 

 of sport in the ordinary sense of the term was obtained, still, 

 buoyed up by the hope of doing something-, whenever out with 

 friends, the unanimous verdict on our return has almost invari- 

 ably been, "We've thoroug-hly enjoyed ourselves."
