A Chicken Hawk at Sea.

The Oceanic Steamship Company's steamer
Australia arrived from Honolulu yesterday.
Among the passengers was " Toodles," a we'll
grown chicken hawk, who flew aboard the
Australia when three days out of from Homo
lulu. The reckoning showed the ship TO be
! ZOO miles from tho island at tho time aud
about |. 100 miles from the nearest Cali fOrnia
soil. "Toodles" made himself at home at once,
and after emitting several squeals (that more
resembled the wall of pig under gate than
anything else) when sailor took him out of
the rigging, made no objection to captivity.
First Officer Lawless RECALLED him with chunk
of raw beef, and "Toodles" has been his de-
voted friend ever since. He followed him in
his movements about the deck all of Wednes-
day aud Thursday, making short flights in
Lawless's wake, and at night took up his perch
in the wheelhonse.
To-day when the steamer locked Lawloss
said good-by To him and tossed him in the air,
expecting that Toodles " would Immediately
sail away for the nearest chicken ranch. But
the bird tried his wings little flew around
the ship once. and then returned TO perch on
Lawless's cabin door. He will DO retained as
long as he wants to stay, Lawless says and
from present appearances that will be long
while. "TOodles is land bird beyond all
doubt, as the marks of his claws Oh tho fingers
of several inquisitive. passengers fully proves,
and how he ever came to be so far at sea is as
unfathomable as the oceans depths. Ducks
and plovers are often encountered between here
and Honolulu in their migratory seasons, but
this is the first chicken hawk on record.
