Inside the watch is engraved, 'To Seymour Robert Seymour, from his uncle, on his twenty-first birthday. The name of Mr. Seymour appears as a first-class passenger to Durban by the Zanzibar. He was a member of an old English family in Lincolnshire. This was his second journey to South Africa, which he visited some years ago with his brother on a big-game shooting expedition.
In our own day the same work is carried on by the big-game sportsman, somewhat farther afield; the pleasure of slaughter being now confined to the few rich and adventurous, who shoot for their own delectation, and not to make a London holiday. Thus to all his ludi the citizen had the right of admission free of cost.
Marcos had, in the course of his long antagonism against wolf or bear or boar in the Central Pyrenees, more than once experienced that sharp shock of astonishment and fear to which the big-game hunter can scarcely remain indifferent when he finds himself opposed by an unmistakable sign of an intelligence equal to his own or an instinct superior to it, subtly meeting his subtle attack.
Such experiences, told to Carl, he found diverting. He seemed, in the spring of 1914, to want no others. The apparently satisfactory development of the Touricar in the late spring of 1914 was the result of an uneconomical expenditure of energy on the part of Carl. Personally he followed by letter the trail of every amateur aviator, every motoring big-game hunter. He never let up for an afternoon.
Some of the game laws of Washington are up to date; and her big-game laws look all right to the unaided eye, but are not. Her bird laws are a chaotic jumble of local exceptions and special privileges. As a net result of all her shortcomings, the remnant of a once fine fauna of big game and feathered game is surely being exterminated according to law.
It had never dawned on her that she possessed rare potentialities of beauty, that there was coming a time when she would bloom gloriously as a cactus in a sand waste. After dinner June went down to the creek and followed a path along its edge. She started up a buck lying in the grass and watched it go crashing through the brush. It was a big-game country.
"Hullo! these are Burke's big-game rifles," said Fisher. "I never knew he kept them here." He lifted one of them, examined it briefly, and put it down again, frowning heavily. Almost as he did so a strange young man came hurriedly into the room. He was dark and sturdy, with a bumpy forehead and a bulldog jaw, and he spoke with a curt apology.
"How is your dear little dog, by the way?" enquired Sam solicitously, as he fell into step by her side. "Much better now, thanks. I've made friends with a girl on board did you ever hear her name Jane Hubbard she's a rather well-known big-game hunter and she fixed up some sort of a mixture for Pinky which did him a world of good.
All others should be closed for five years! Here is the list of availables; and regarding it there will be about as many opinions as there are big-game sportsmen: * THE MAINE WOODS: Well stocked with white-tailed deer. NEW BRUNSWICK: Well stocked with moose; a few caribou, deer and black bear. WHITE MOUNTAINS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND VERMONT: For deer.
The bear wasn't going to make a move, but the goat was so scared it ran plump into the old fellow, and he killed it. He acted mighty surprised for ten minutes afterward, an' he sniffed an' nosed around the warm carcass for half an hour before he tore it open. That was his first taste of what you might call live game. I didn't kill him, an' I'm sure from that day on he was a big-game hunter."
