understood that this interest and ex-
periencs were from the sportsman's
point Of view. quite unique, owing to
the total absence of any native hunt
ers to assist, or even to give the
least clue as to where the great sheep
might be found. 1t may be superflu-
GUS to add that one invariably has
the services and benefit OF a second,
and usually very keen, pair OF eyes to
assist in finding the game and sub
seQuently to help in the stalk. In the
present instance, however, It was a
case of single blessedness with a ven-
geance. The reason Of this absolute
dearth Of local shikaris is accounted
for by the rooted objection which the
native inhabitant of these wilds, the
nomad Hassack, has to walking. To
his ideas 1t is not the thing to do.
