hunters to work apart in some
other district of the territory - I
am overstepping the bounds of
the ordinance. This I did when
I took David up to Buma. Un-
fortunately, I encountered a Magis-
trate who queried the action which
could only have been concealed by
luck, and received official com-
munication about it from the
Govt. Secty'. Fortunately, the Magistrate
at Savanai had shouldered all
responsibility - so I was innocent.
I should consider it a coup, if
we had made a good haul in
the Buma Division. Then, there was
the question of "Shooting Assistant's
Licenses", which had not been
procured; these were officially is-
sued on my application from
Buma. The total cost of all
licenses, Permits, etc., amounts
to - £28-7-6; for a limited
number of birds, which the rules
make it quite impossible to secure
with any degree of satisfaction.
