Halaman 375 - He begins his play with a call something resembling the word peller, peller, peller ; these sounds he repeats at first at some little intervals ; but as he proceeds they increase in rapidity, until at last, and after perhaps the lapse of a minute or so, he makes a sort of gulp in his throat, and finishes by drawing in his breath.
Halaman 416 - Scrape is a skilful author as well as an experienced angler. It does not fall to the lot of all men to handle with equal dexterity, the brush, the pen, and the rod, to say nothing of the rifle, still less of the leister under cloud of night.
Halaman 374 - ... for the purpose. After dark two men start in pursuit of the birds ; one of them is provided with a gun, the other with a long pole, to either end of which a flambeau is attached. The man with the flambeau now goes in advance, the other remaining at the prostrate tree to keep it, and the two lights in an exact line with each other. By this curious contrivance they cannot well go astray in the forest. Thus they proceed...
Halaman 371 - In the forest, the capercailzie does not always present an easy mark ; for, dipping down from the pines nearly to the ground, as is frequently the case, they are often almost out of distance before one can properly take aim.
Halaman 202 - ... as is usual with those animals when they have young, was lying in the front of the den, and we, therefore, almost began to think we had hit upon a bear distinct from those of which we were in search. But on the people introducing a stake, and moving the old bear a little to the side, one of the cubs, and subsequently a second, and a third, exhibited themselves, all of which I despatched, either with my own or with Jan Finne's rifle.
