a little
time shot over (22 to 26).

IV. That "On,"--the shortest word for "hie-on,"--or the
forward underhand swing of the right hand, signifies that he
is to advance in a forward direction--the direction in which
you are waving. This signal is very useful. It implies that
you want the dog to hunt ahead of you. Yon employ it also
when you are alongside of him at his point, and are desirous
of urging him to follow up the running bird or birds, and
press to a rise. If he push on too eagerly, you restrain him
by slightly raising the right hand--XII. of this paragraph
(18 to 21).

V. That a wave of the right arm and hand--the arm being
fully extended and well to the right--from left to right,
means that he is to hunt to the right. Some men wave the
left hand across the body from left to right, as a direction
to the dog to hunt to the right; but that signal is not so
apparent at a distance as the one I have described (32).

VI. That a wave of the left arm from right to left--the arm
being fully extended and well to the left--means that he is
to hunt to the left (33).

VII. That the "Beckon," the wave of the right hand towards
you, indicates that he is to hunt towards you (33. See also
67).

VIII. That the word "Heel," or a wave of the right hand to
the rear--the reverse of the underhand, cricket-bowler's
swing,--implies that he is to give up hunting, and go
directly close to your heels (40).

IX. That "Fence" means that he is not to leave the place
where you are. After being so checked a few times when he is
endeavoring to quit the field, he will understand the word
to be an order not to "break fence" (42, 43).

X. That "Find" or "Seek" means that he is to search for
something which he will have great gratification in
discovering. When he is in the field he will quickly
understand this to be game (30, 31).

XI. That "Dead"--which it would be well to accompany with
the signal to "Heel," means that there is something not far
off, which he would have great satisfaction in finding. On
hearing it, he will come to you, and await your signals
instructing him in what direction he is to hunt for it.
When, by signals, you have put him as near as you can upon
the spot where you think the bird has fallen, you will say
"Find;" for, until you say that wo
