64 WITH HOUND AND TERRIER. 



the driver's assistance. The hounds were called 

 off by their owner, and Frosty was rescued from 

 his perilous position ; but though everything was 

 done for him, he died from his wounds in a few 

 hours. 



I had several of his sons and daughters in my 

 kennel. Charmer was a very beautiful little dog, 

 and ran in my pack till she died, and her brother 

 Crack worked well with the Blackmore Vale 

 Hounds. Freezer and Fizz, two sons of his, of 

 which Amber was the dam, were also good ones, 

 and Fizz, though only a 14-lb. terrier, was an 

 extraordinarily game little fellow, and would drive 

 a fox from any earth. Mr John Corry, who had 

 Fizz for some time at Milborne Port, used to tell 

 many stories of his prowess, and always had him 

 out whenever hounds ran to ground near. 



I showed Frosty once and took two second 

 prizes with him, the judge only putting him back 

 from first honours because of a scar on his nose. 

 This the dog had got in trying to pick up a lighted 

 fusee, which stuck to his nose and burnt a deep 

 hole. The dent, which was the result of the acci- 

 dent, had a greyish appearance, just in the middle 

 of an otherwise perfectly black little snout, and as 

 the blemish was so entirely the result of a mis- 

 chance, I thought his loss of place rather hard 

 lines. 



There are terriers so timid that they will 

 resent being touched by some people, though 

 they will allow others to handle them freely.
