282 CHASING AND RACING 



In Egypt I saw quite a lot of natural falconry. No 

 sooner did we commence operations, when out quail 

 shooting, than we were followed by hawks and falcons 

 of many varieties, and these would stoop to the little 

 birds as we flushed them in the most audacious fashion, 

 altogether ignoring the fact that they themseves were 

 in peril of their lives from villainous explosives ; but 

 we were so interested and amused by their evolutions 

 that we invariably spared the raiders.
