In "Reminiscences of O Falconerr

The falcon was descending upon the
partridge when the partridge stopped

He seemed to be lost In the short stub

and the hawk had no alternative but
to take him on the ground. which he
speedily attempted to do.
But on the ground the partridge was
far more agile, than he, running this
way and that with great speed. The
hawk would Jump awkwardly up and
dart after the scuddlng partridge, who
just at the right moment jumped from
the ground and over his back, descend
ed on the other side and commenced
running harder than before.
Time after time this was done. At
every attempt the partridge met the
hawk with outstretched neck and rails

This went on for some time, until, as
I regret to say, l ended the unequal
strife by putting the partridge once
