RIFLES, GROUND AND OUTFIT. 289 



easy-chair, both to travel on the cot, one camp- 

 stool. 



Cooking, etc., utensils for common use : six soup 

 plates, six large plates, six small plates, six cups 

 and saucers, three ashets, two vegetable dishes, 

 three hot-water plates, candlesticks and glass 

 shades, twelve knives and forks and spoons, six 

 tea-spoons, six dessert-spoons, one gridiron, one 

 frying-pan, three saucepans, three small dekshis. 



In going into a native state, it would be 

 desirable to provide oneself with a c purwunah,' 

 an official document which will greatly facilitate 

 procuring supplies, beaters, etc. 



These are a few of the things that occur to me. 

 I am, it must be understood, calculating for a 

 party of three, and doing everything comfortably; 

 for I believe in comfort tending much to preserve 

 one's health during the time spent in the ener- 

 vating climate of an Indian summer. Of course, 

 in the latter part of the trip, such a large kit and 

 so many supplies would not be necessary, for the 

 sportsman would make shorter trips, say, of a 

 week or ten days at a time, from the place he 

 selected as his head-quarters, and in giving the list 

 I have, I am calculating on the party being away 

 for two months, and being often in places where 

 they cannot supplement their supplies as they 

 diminish.
