OR, HINTS TO SPORTSMEN AND TRAVELLERS ON Dress, Equipment, and Camp Life. BY THE OLD SHEKARRY, 66 H. A. Leveson AUTHOR OF THE FOREST AND THE FIELD," ETC. HARVARD MAR 5 1941 LONDON: SAVILL, EDWARDS AND CO., PRINTERS, CHANDOS STREET, COVENT GARDEN. INTRODUCTION. I HAVING been often applied to for information concerning the most suitable Dress, the most efficient Arms, and the best equipment for a Sportsman, I have endeavoured, in the following pages, to concentrate my ideas on these points for the benefit of the uninitiated. have also added a description of the different modes of hunting the fiercer denizens of the Forest, and sundry practical hints upon travelling and campaigning, that may be useful to those who have not yet acquired that experience of camp-life, without which, in a wild and almost unknown country, peopled by treacherous tribes, the Traveller will have much difficulty in keeping his health sound and his skin whole. |
