The Looms

AS the small stock of fresh meat We
had brought with us from Tromso was
diminishing in most alarming manner,
it was decided to put into harbor,
called Nameless Bay, in order to re-
plenish our provisions. This bay was
reputed to be famous place for
"loons," as Brunnich's guillemots are
invariably called, and well did it de-
serve the reputation it had acquired for
it was one vast loonery, teeming with
birds. The bay was bounded on the
three sides by high hills, terminating at
the water in abrupt, precipitous cliffs,
about 100 feet in height. Frost and the
action of the weather had formed mar
row lodges on the faces of these lime
stone cliffs, rising in regular stratifca-
tions, tier over tier, from base to summit.
These lodges were the looneries, and
on them were congregated myriads of
birds. So thickly were they clustered
together that the combination of their
black and white plumage made the face
of the cliffs assume pepper and sa t"
hue. Some idea may be gathered of
the countless numbers of these birds
by the fact that my companion and N.Y.
self in less than two hours bagged 600,
aud, had we required it, many hundreds
more could have been obtained in the
same space of time. On the first dis
charge of our guns perfect cloud rose
in front of us, completely obscuIing the
face OF the cliff. The noise produced
by the tremendous whirring and tapping
of wings can only be compared to that
made by the fall of water from a large
cascade. As they few seaward they
and wounded fell upon us like hail. The
incessant fight of these birds in differ
ent directions, during the days we re-
mained at anchor in the bay, reminded
me more of the swarming of hundreds
of hives of bees than anything else; so
continuous were their flights that we
used to find it almost impossible to
sweep the land carefully with telescope
for game, in consequence of the rapid
! passage of these birds across the fields
of our glasses. The looms build their
nests on the ledges of the cliffs, where
their eggs, of which there - only one
j each nest, are perfectly secure from
the depredations of all thieves but
the skuas and the Glaucus gulls.
These latter birds breed on the SUBMITS
of the cliffs, Immediately over the
looneries, which they watch with a
jealous and greedy eye. The male and
female loon alternately guards the
precious egg. and woe betide the un.
fortunate guillemot who should be
tempted away, by food or otherwise
from his sacred treasure. The watchfu
skua or burgomaster quickly swoop:
down, and on the return OF the loon It;
nest is empty. We were, unfortunately
few days too early to obtain any O
the eggs for our breakfast-table, but W.
reveled for some time in such delieacies
as '5loon SOUP" "stewed LOOM" cur
ried loon" and other ingenious methods
of cooking those birds Captain

The water buffalo is On animal much in
use in Singapore for purpose Of draught.
II is q dull heavy-loobing animal, slow
at work and disgusting in appearance,
but remarkable for sagacity and attach
ment to its native keepers. 1t has,
however, particular antipathy TO a
European, and will Immediately detect
him in crowd. It's dislike to and
courage in attacking a tiger is we'll
known all over India Not long ago,
as Malayan boy, who was employed by
his parents in herding water buffaloes,
was driving his charge by the borders
of the Jungle, a tiger made sudden
spring and seized the lad by the thigh,
and was dragging him off, when the two
old buflaloes, hearing the shrek of dis
tress from the well-known voice of their
little attendant, turned around and
charged with their usual rapidity. The
tiger, thus closely pressed, was obliged
to drop his prey to defend himself.
While one buffalo successfully drove
away the tiger the other kept guard
over the boy. Later in the evening,
when the anxious father, alarmed, came
out with attendants to seek his child, he
found that the whole herd with the ex-
ception of the two old buffaloes had
dispersed themselves to feed, but that
they were still there-one standing over
the bleeding body of their little friend,
while the other kept watch on the edge
of the jungle for the return of the tiger.
