embedded in it ; Slo belied his name and hurried on ; his subsequent 

 action reminded one of the sailor in Punch who, finding himself in a 

 similar predicament, muttered, " Its all right for me, mate, but how 

 the blankety blank are you to get over ? " 



Second line, " Green Man " to Loddon Bridge Farm. 



We threw off again opposite the " Green Man," and ran at a fair 

 pace over i^ miles of pleasant hunting country, running into our 

 quarry in the open. Funny the way this happens so frequently with 

 the pack ! 



For the latter half of this line the Master was accompanied 1>\ 

 only two other riders, the rest of the field having had to choose 

 between going round through a gate and negociating a somewhat 

 curious obstacle. The fact was that a certain Gunner's horse had 

 landed belly up in a ditch at the only possible spot in the fence and 

 the owner was scouring the country for a convenient cork to stop up 

 the plated tube in the said horse's throat, with a view to save him 

 from drowning. 



On our way back we met a disconsolate Wokingham M.D. on 

 horseback, hurrying back, apparently very aggrieved that we hadn't 

 provided him with better sport.
