They passed under the Indian encampment, and had got a few yards higher when the pony Sam Hicks was leading gave a sharp neigh. "Darn its old ears!" Tom heard Jerry growl.
Myself, with the master of the hounds, Michael Hicks Beach, Esq. of Netheravon, and two or three gentlemen, amongst whom was, perhaps, Mr. Gordon Grey, were up with the hounds at the time; and we were all very much distressed to see the noble animal, which was a large red deer, and which had afforded us so much sport, becoming a prey to the hounds, without it being possible for us to save him.
