If the weather is clear and warm, they 
leave the old fields at daybreak, flying 
down the river, where they sjiend the 
daylight in brackish ponds on the coastal 
islands, along the sand beaches, or even 
out at sea, especially on Bird Bank, some 
miles off shore, where they congregate in 
countless thousands. At sundown they 
return to spend the night in the fields, 
which, having lost their banks, are sub- 
ject to tidal overflow. In stormy weather 
they spend the whole day in the fields, S 
where the warm sheltered ditches and 
creeks afford them ideal feeding and loaf- 
ing places. As far as I ean see, the law 
against spring shooting has greatly in- 
creased the numlier of wild-fowl coming 
to us each winter ; not ducks only, but 
Wilson snipe, plover, yellowlegs, curlew, 
willet, woodcock, and others. During the 
last few seasons we have had a good 
many wild geese appearing here, which is 
somewhat unusual. The largest flock 
numbered fifty-six. I saw those myself, 
and ’twas a wonderful squadron that they 
made. 
L ook here, that grand old cornfield 
buck that I have been saving for you j 
had a very close call last week. I was 
riding down toward the Reserve when I w 
saw Jackson A'ard and a friend of his ^ 
getting out of a buggy with guns and ' 
deerhounds. When .they saw me they 
were somewhat confused, for I never al- 
low hunting of any kind on the place, 
always giving as an excuse the fact that 9 
I am saving the game until yon boys getjl 
home. But Jackson has long been anh 
acquaintance, and for some years has 
been prominent in the county ; you know 
he was sheriff at one time. He explained 
to me that three large deer had just 
walked across the road in front of his 
buggy. He wanted to know whether I 
would mind if they drove out the little 
corner into which the game had just 
vanished. 
I 
Now, a deer that goes into that jamb 
between the Reserve and the river is as 
good as lo.st. I was sorely put to it. I 
felt even worse when Jackson explained 
that one deer was a monster of a buck, 
with the tallest horns he had seen in many 
a day — your buck, 
“Well, boys,” I said, “yon know the 
stands here on the road. Take them up, 'i 
and let me have the dogs. I’ll drive for , 
you. 
I went hack in the corner, and I drove 
all right. But I drove the ztrong way. 
I put the hounds on the straight trail in. 
and they made those deer swim the Re- 
ser^’e. They got clear away. May the 
Lord forgive me my deception, hut the 
cause was a righteous one. Jackson said 
that he would like to come hack and take 
a whirl at that old buck. I told him to 
come in January. That will he after your 
visit. 
A few days since I went down the road 
to see Jim Taylor about a little cattle jl 
deal. I had seldom seen the woods pret- . 
tier, all ablaze as they were with autumn 
colors. I saw two small bunches of wild 
turkeys ; one of these contained eight . 
voting eobhlers. I rode within fifty yards 
of them. There seemed many fox-squir- 
rels out, both black and gray. Some of 
the men down at the Maybank Club have
