At Sea.
During the recent camp hunt On st.
James Island by some OF our citizens,
says a Tallahassee paper, an incident
occurred which is, perhaps, without
parallel in the annals of hunting, and
deserves to be recorded. A large buck,
closely pursued by the famous stag
hound, Old Ring, belonging to Mr..
Hopkins, took water and headed right
out to sea the dog, without heslta-
ton, boldly following him in his Voy-
age over the "dark and treacherous
waves They were watched with in
tense interest by the hunters until each
was mere speck upon the surface OF
the sea and until they were finally and
totally lost to view. After some time,
when it was supposed that both cog
and deer had found watery grave,
and, perhaps, bloody grave in NOR
tai combat, Or had been devoured by
sharks, small object was discovered,
which proved to be Old Ring, return
ing home from his long swim, much ex-
hausted, but reaching the shore in
safety. But, to the greater surprise Of
the spectators, after a time the deer
also appeared in sight, making right
for shore, on reaching which he was
shot down by one of the hunters. sds
