There is new case close at hand. On Thurs
day, May 4th, two Portland lads, cruising in
Cape Elizabeth, found nest with the mother
brooding over four young ones. They were
permitted to handle the old bird and the young
ones, and they did. so, as freely they would ham
die tame chickens. The young one appeared,
so said the lads, like young chickens with long
bills. When they laid down the young they
huddled together in their rude fat nest on a
knoll and the mother brooded over them as
though no intruders were present. e.
