One dark nierht just as we were alxuit to turn iu a brioht liht cam' suddenly around the bend and a boat with three men. armed p.nd equipped for ""jjrator shoot in", pulled up to our camp. They proved to be jmt out from Yoluria, and, an accident havinjr happon-.'d to their coffee can, they had come up to borrow of us. They informed us of their intention of remaining in the ficif hborhood for some time and extended a cordial invi tation to join tht'in in the chase. Tli. 're are two modes of alli.'ator hunting1. First, and best of all. is lire-lio-htiiifr or llre-jackiiifr: second, by iloatinir in the daytime. For the lirst a stroll"; reflector lil.t is laced in the bow of the lniat and provided w ith a dark .-lido or door: tlie nan w ho is to shoot for the evening sits directly be hind it, while his companions propel the lM..at- The li'ht, flash ins? full in tho ani mal's face, appears to blind him and make him insensible to all danger, but the slightest soond proceeding' from the boat is sullicient to arouse, him. Xoarcr and nearer the lMat creeps until the distance is a minimum, when tho rllleiiian, takino' a careful aim, pours a murderous li-oliar ire into the mist available part ol his lHdy. Those killed at nh'ht are imllod out on the beach and skinned the follow in"; day. while those killed in the day time are Usually skinned on the sjwit. The second method of float in; con sists of steal infr softly within ran";e of a slocpi no-"o-ator by day. It i a dith cult thin"' to no, and, on the whole, iiiiri'imiiii rative. It is usually prac ticed by local hunters, and very rarely by professionals. Our pacty tried tho first method.
