IN ALBANIA 247 



plercino- shrieks from three girls gathering 

 brushwood three hundred yards away. As 

 one of them was on the ground I naturally 

 w^as much alarmed ; but when they had 

 scored off me sufficiently they gathered their 

 bundles and walked off. 



Shooting here requires great care. I 

 subsequently discovered three horses In the 

 direct line In which I had fired. The next, 

 a short beat, blank of all but woodcock, 

 brought us back to our landing place, and 

 then we proceeded to beat the covert that 

 ran down to our posts In the first after-lunch 

 beat. Doofs and beaters were soon In full 

 cry, and by the sound of the former, the pig 

 must have crossed within fifty yards of me. 



Directly after I heard a shot from H. 

 The beaters were silent, and, thinking the 

 beat was over, I walked down to the sea.
