Mrs Matilda Coxe Stevenson® describes a game called saithlii- 
tawe, horns kill, or killing the rabbit: 
Six goat-horns [figure 1088] are placed in line on the ground an equal dis- 
tance apart, and the players stand some rods away. The game is begun by a 
player starting to run and throwing a rabbit-stick toward the horns. He is 
entitled to as many horns as he strikes, and may continue to throw the stick as 
Jong as he is successful in striking a horn; but when he fails to strike one, 
another plays. The one who strikes the largest number of horns wins the game,
