Found a gallant Fox at Monk Wood; — going away 

 close at his brush at a clipping pace across the Somer- 

 setshire deep vale by Batcombe to Creech Hill, and on 

 to Evercreech and Ansford, where the Fox was dead 

 beat, the foot people coursing him round a rick yard; 



BUT THE RIVER BRUE BEING EXCEEDINGLY 



SWOLN BY THE FLOOD, the Houuds and Horses were 

 oblio^ed to go three miles round to a bridge, and as snow 

 and sleet were falling in abundance, they could merely 

 mark his line towards Hadspen, and lost him after a run 

 of three hours over fifteen or sixteen miles of Country, 



as the crow flies

 Moor at a racing pace for Lord Digby's Park; where 

 the Hounds were all hut in vieic of him, and where they 

 lost him in an unaccountable manner; it being since 

 ascertained that he swam the large sheet of water,
