expressed their willingness to accom-
pany Mr.. Van Dyke and borrowed a fine
gun for his use. On arrival al the shoot

case containing the borrowed gun was
locked. After each one having try at
picking the lock, it was decided to open
1t by cutting the thread with which it was
sewed. This was done and the sport
proceeded. On the return the case was
