They are much employed throughout the Puna to hunt the "yutu," a species of partridge which inhabits the rushy grass.
"Popular Adventure Tales"
Mayne Reid
But slowly, as I shouting slew And trampled in the bubbling mire, In my most secret spirit grew A whirling and a wandering fire: I stood: keen stars above me shone, Around me shone keen eyes of men: I laughed aloud and hurried on By rocky shore and rushy fen; I laughed because birds fluttered by, And starlight gleamed, and clouds flew high, And rushes waved and waters rolled.
