484 The Hunting Grounds 



see as much of the country as we could, and I believe 

 we were all highly satisfied with our trip, feeling con- 

 vinced that Algeria is a splendid field either for the 

 sportsman, the tourist, or the invalid. 



The probable expenses of a trip will be as fol- 

 lows: Travelling expenses (first-class throughout) 

 from London, 201. ; hotel expenses for three months, 

 601. ; hunting expenses, comprising beaters, trackers, 

 horse-hire, boat-hire (for wildfowl on the lakes), and 

 sundries, 201. : probable total of expenditure for three 

 months' sport, 1001. The probable additional ex- 

 pense with a servant will be rather more than one- 

 third of the above, say 401. I need hardly observe 

 that this does not include the items Chateau Margot 

 or Lafitte ; but each can make his own arrange- 

 ments, so as to suit his inclination or his means. 



The sportsman need only carry his arms, ammuni- 

 tion, and personal baggage. He will find everything 

 else he requires in Algeria. 



Small game of all kinds is to be found at a very 

 short distance from the town, so that the sportsman 

 need not go further daily than ten miles (or even 

 less), returning to sleep at the hotel. In order to 

 shoot at greater distances, he should provide himself 

 with a tent, if he wishes to do the thing comfortably.
