 her up and brought her safely to shore. Saved, ear-marked, and 

 turned out same evening in Hawkcombe. (Never accounted for.) 



i8;o. August 2T^rd, Cloutsham. — Found a fine young stag in Parsonage 

 furze. He went away along the south side of Dunkery to Lang- 

 combe Head and away. Fresh deer all over the place, and much 

 delay in laying on the pack in consequence. Got away at 12.53 over 

 Snow's path and back to Longcombe, then over the head of Acmead, 

 across the combe in front of Larkbarrovv, and over the North Forest

 B. T. 2 on near.

 the north side of Anstey Common and on over Molland Common 

 into Girtcombe ; down the valley to Stone Farm, through Puhvorthy 

 Wood and Kingswood to Sheepwash and Rew Farm ; down the 

 new line of railway to Galliford Bridge, on to Newtown and into 

 Hayne Plantation. Very fast to this point, but now scent grew
