 Venn to Hawkwell Moor, across Whitmoor and Blackerton to Shap- 

 cott, and on over Allerborough to Knowstone Wood, on to Know- 

 stone Mill, and through the covers to West Kidland Farm. Here the 

 hounds, which had been alone for some time, were found at a check ; 

 it was now dark (5.15), and it seemed hopeless to do more, when the 

 hind was suddenly found to be lying on the roof of a linhay close by. 

 Attempted to lasso her here, but she jumped off, and in spite of all 

 endeavours some of the hounds broke away after her. Stopped all 

 we could reach and were going home, when it was announced that 

 the hind was on the roof again. This time we dazzled her eyes with 

 lights, and so took her safely without a scratch. She was turned out 

 on Hawkwell Moor the same night, duly ear-marked. 



This same hind was found again in Haddon on the 2^th of December, 

 and went away over Haddon Farm. Crossed Buckley and Hayne 

 Farms, Burston and Wilsend, leaving Exe Bridge to the right. Came 

 to water a little below, and followed it without touching a bank to 

 Oakford Bridge (two miles and a half at least), then broke out, 

 leaving Oakford village to the right, to near Higher Mill; then to 

 the right through Town Wood, leaving Spurway Mill to the left; over 

 Nethercott Farm and over Pinkworthy Farm to Combe stream, where 

 hounds caught a view. She went back almost as she had come 

 to Oakford Bridge, from which she turned over Loosemore Farm 

 to East Tapps Wood, then to the right over Heightley Farm and 

 through Heightley Wood to the Weir, and down the water to 

 Heightley Mill, where she was taken and saved. Turned out a few 

 days later apparently all right, but found at the end of January, 1869, 

 by a shooting-party and captured. She was badly injured and had 

 to be killed.
