24 GUIDE TO ICELAND. to be attached, as it is impossible to know until then the exact ■distance these should be apart. These irons are to he about lOin. long, lin. wide, and -Jin. thick, with an eye at the upper end having an inside diameter of an inch, and holes for half a dozen screws are to be drilled in each, and countersunk for the heads of the screws. In the centre of the front of the box must be affixed by a rivet and a washer inside a small eye-holt, in the eye of which are to be inserted two triangles or rings, through which a girth and strap may be rove as hereafter described. Of course these eye-bolts must be affixed before the zinc lining is put in, as the washer and rivet must not project, but be let into the wood. A girth will be taken from the lowermost ring or triangle in the front of one box under the pony to that in the other, and from the uppermost a strap will be passed over the pack-saddle and anything that may be packed thereon, and these will be found to effectually secure the boxes and packages to the saddle. If the person for whom the boxes are made purposes to shoot in Iceland, he can, and should, dispense with his gun and rifle-cases by having another box made, somewhat similar to a gun-case, and ■each of the boxes described fitted up with two trays, one 2in. deep, and the other 3in. In one box in the uppermost tray he will carry the stock of his gun, and in that in the other the stock of his rifle; each of which must be secured in its compartment by two straps screwed to the bottom of the tray. The 3in. trays are to be partitioned off by thin strips of board for the conveyance of ■ cartridges. These will be the lower tray in each box, and should rest, when the box is empty, upon two wooden ledges screwed firmly one at each end of the box at a depth of five inches from the top, but when the lower part of the box is packed as full as possible the lower tray is to have no bearing upon the ledges but rest upon the contents of the box below and press the uppermost tray against the lid, so that some pressure will be necessary to close it, and thus jam the whole contents of the box so completely to- gether that they would not be disturbed were the box to be rolled down a flight of stairs. Gun and rifle stocks, and cartridges, will thus be handy; much more so than they would be in a couple of ordinary gun-cases bound together with a number of miscellaneous articles to make a load for one side of the pack-saddle. The barrels will be carried in the third box, which will now be described. If the barrels are of the usual length, 2ft. 6in., its inside dimensions will be 2ft. 7in. long, 2-Jin. deep, and 6Jin. wide; which will . allow of a fishing rod, of the pattern recommended, being carried
