APPENDIX A. 201 



September \Ztli, Cloutsham. — No stag in Horner. Found a hind i860, 

 on Leigh Hill ; ran her by Parsonage Side and away by the south 

 side of Dunkery. Laid on at 2.20. A short check in Long Stream 

 Combe, then up over and across Acmead to Oare Common, and to 

 water under Tomshill. Hit off the line up Pinford Combe, and so 

 into Orchard Combe, through the furze brake and back by the Lark- 

 barrow corner into Longcombe, and down the water towards Badg- 

 worthy. Up the combe between Tronthill and Badgworthy nearly 

 to Two Gates, turning away over the North Forest (here fresh found 

 her) and round again to Hoccombe ; across Hoccombe and on to 

 Withycombe Ridge, Brendon Common, and Brendon covers, by Mill- 

 slade (here fresh found her) ; ran her through the fields on the head 

 of the covers as if for the Channel, down again to the water and 

 through the covers to Brendon Church, pointing for Farley ; short to 

 the right, and down to Watersmeet ; here a long check ; fresh found 

 her under the path by Watersmeet, ran her down the valley, over the 

 awful shingle to the combe leading to Countisbury, crossing a grass 

 field in view to the top, and going apparently straight to sea. She 

 skirted the Lynmouth road, however, turned back over the hill to the 

 Lyn, left the water again at once, crossed the hill almost on the same 

 line as she had first taken, and was gone to sea directly. A boat 

 went out from Lynmouth at 6.10. The pack had been running her 

 three hours and forty minutes, and the tufters fully thirty-five minutes 

 more. Pace very great — moor very heavy — field pretty well choked 

 off. Only three at the end besides the master and whip. 



October t^tJi, Jury Kennel. — A very hard day with a stag from 

 Haddon, about the covers on the Haddeo and the Exe. He was 

 finally killed under Broford, after a run of six hours. Scent very 

 bad. • 



November 19///, Marsh Bridge. — Went at once to Hawkridge,
