_4 to 10 players._

_Out of doors; seashore._

This game may be played with pebbles, shells, or nuts, each player
having two or four of such articles. The object of the game is to
throw these pebbles into a hole about four inches in diameter, which
should be made in the ground. The first part of the game is concerned
with determining the order in which the players shall take turns. Ten
feet from the hole a place is marked, from which the players throw in
turn until each has had enough turns to have thrown all of his
pebbles. The one who has succeeded in landing a pebble nearest the
hole becomes the first player, and takes his stand on a second mark
drawn one fourth nearer the hole, all the players meanwhile having
gathered up their pebbles again. These are all given to the successful
player, and he pitches them in a mass toward the hole, becoming the
owner of as many as fall into the hole. Any pebbles that do not go in
the hole are gathered up by the player who in the original throwing
came out second in trying to get near the hole, and he, in turn,
throws these in mass, standing also at the nearer throwing point from
which his predecessor threw. All of the players take turns in this way
until all of the pebbles have been appropriated. The player wins who
gets the most pebbles. Pebbles won are not thrown again, but kept for
score.

For good players the distances from the hole may be increased.
