near the WicOmico River, in Maryland,
were padding in small canoe, known
as ''dug- out, their attention was at
tracted by loud splashing in cove,
not far off. The prov of the canoe was
turned into the cove, and they soon dis
covered what was causing the disturb

come entangled in a gill-net, and the
huge bird had beaten the water into
foam all around it. When the boys
drew near. they saw that the hawk had
nearly exhausted itself, and it did not
take them long to secure their prey.
1t was big thing to catch fish-hawk
alive, and during the next few days
they were heroes indeed. But after 4
while they become tired of their captive.
which merely moped in its cage, and

free They cut their names into a
piece of leather and fastened it By
means OF chain to the birds left leg,

spring of 1888, the boys thought the,

the hawk never would let them get neal
enough to learn positively. A few
weeks ago one of the boys received a
letter from St. Simon's Island. on the

and piece of leather, which also bore
the address of the lads, had been picked
up at the foot of dead pine tree, well
known there as nesting-place for
