Der neue Wald und die Insel WightWith acht Platten und viele andere Abbildungen . es froman Untersuchung des Bodens sind wie folgt. Der König wurde erschossen, nicht im Holz, sondern am Rande, fast am letzten Baum. Immediatelywestlich von Rufus Stone hält der gute Boden an, und es beginnt ein sehr schlechter, steiler, sumpfiger Hang, der bis zum Gipfel des Hügels von StonyCross verläuft. Holz wächst jetzt nicht, und hätte nie wachsen können, denn die Natur des Bodens hat sich nicht verändert und bleibt wie in den Tagen der Eroberung in der selben Bedingung für das Wachstum oder das Nichtwachstum von Holz. Wieder sagt die Legende

The New Forest and the Isle of WightWith eight plates and many other illustrations . es froman examination of the ground are as follows. The king was shot, not inthe wood, but at the very edge, almost at the last tree. Immediatelywest of Rufus Stone the good soil stops, and a very poor, steep, marshy, slope begins, which runs right up to the top of the hill by StonyCross. Wood does not grow on it now, and never could have grown, for the nature of the soil has not changed, and remains in thesame condition for the growth or non-growth of timber, as in thedays of the Conquest. Again, the legend says that the king waslooking after a wounded deer, shading his eyes with his hand.Now he would not have needed to shade his eyes had he been in thethick forest, though as the deer would naturally run out of the woodacross the open, and the sun was in the west, for it was late on anAugust day, the account exactly fits the supposition that William wasstanding where he is said to have stood and gazing after the woundeddeer, as it ran out across the Stony-Cross Common, when he received. o ^^ rHE NEW FORES J 55 the fatal arrow. William, then, was in the open, or on the very edge ofthe wood. That he should have been shot by accident in such a place, with a weapon like a bow, seems most improbable. Moreover it islikely that both he and Tyrrell were waiting for deer to be driven tothem. The place is still a natural pass for deer, and the Rufus Stonestands on the neck of a little bluff, on either side of which driven deerwould naturally pass on their way up the valley, and up which they dopass now when hunted. Supposing Rufus to have turned and shot one, his back or side would be presented to the man who was guarding theother pass below the knoll. On the other hand it was a place whichgave admirable opportunities for the escape of an assassin. Just above, or over Stony-Cross Plain ran the sound road, along the high openridges, straight across the north of the forest, not to Lymington orBeaul
