"JACK, WHERE BE YE?"
cruet Game FIttied 1 it the Cantpi of the
Lumbermen.
So full of peril is the lumberman's
life that even his sposts must be spiced
with danger or they pita on his tastes.
On the long winter nights a cruel
game called. "Jack Where Be Ye?'' is
sometimes played. The middle of the
largest room in the camp is cleared,
Two men are securely blindfolded, and
having previously drawn lots for the
firet "whack," they kneel on the floor.
In his right hand each man holds a
stout leather strap, at the end of
which lea), heavy iron buckle. In the
left; hand of each manes held, by the
end, Another leather strap or rope. The
left hands must either be kept on or
very near the floor, and the strap that
is held between them kept taut, This
guarantees a uniform dietitian between
the combatants. They are quite near
enough to hurt each other severely,
sometimes fatally. "
Now the man who has bees 'Lucky
enough to draw the first call sings
Out; "Jack, where be ye?" to which his
opponent must immediately answer,
"Heret be," Then the first mean
strikes where he imagines his opponent
to be, with the heavy leather strap. If
be hits bis mare he is mite Led. to (moth-
er blow; may call mat again. "jack,
where be ye?" and the other must an -
ewer, "Here I be:" This may be bon-
tinuecl until the Hest man misses,
When le must take hie turn at being
struck.
The others form a ring around the
two fighters, bets are made and.
each factiou eneourages ;arid apelauds
ite chosen eighter. There are regular
rounds, and the game is asually kept
up, untiltone or the other is earried otf
tilA scene seriously wounded.
Hard Jaeade can stand k.ftocks and
volunteers fax the eruel sport are
easily found. A.t the beginning there is
usually no malice. A, hard blow is
struck - it is expreted, betause it is
the game. tatt it not infrequently
happens that the game develops int(
a fierce duel.
