THE BIRDS OF Vol. II By MILLER CHRISTY. pg.193 The biggest bag, made at a single shot, John Basham ever heard of was, he tells me, made about twenty five years ago by a gunner (now deceased), known as "Old Stubbins," of Maldon, who killed no less than fifty Geese at the mouth of Thurslett Creek, in Tollesbury Parish, by a single discharge of his large punt gun, which weapon was familiarly known in the neighbourhood as " Old Jubilee." It afterwards belonged to Mr. James Spitty of Bradwell, but has since been lost overboard. Full book available as a text or PDF download at http://www.archive.org |
