HABITS, HAUNTS, AND ANECDOTES 



heard to be appreciated, and is certainly 

 worth all the hardships it entails to be 

 listened to only once. 



I remember well of a time that my 

 guide called from the edge of a lake at 

 sunset, and received an answer from 

 a large bull on a mountain a mile or 

 two away, where we could hear him 

 coming nearer and nearer as the mo- 

 ments wore on. After a half hour had 

 elapsed he had reached the other side 

 of the lake, and was so close that we 

 did not dare to repeat the call for fear 

 he would detect the artificial from the 

 natural. He did not venture nearer, 

 and as it was too dark to see him across 

 the lake, we returned to camp, but that 

 fifteen minutes will live long in my 

 memory.
