THE STORMY PETREC.


Some OF the Curious snperstitlons az old
Sailors About Tho Bir,-
One OF Che best known or inc rua
birds is the stormy petrol. Iti oftenest
seen during storms. flying above the
waves in search of tho shellfsh and
other small animals that are brought to
the surface by the tempest The sailors
call petrels Mother Carey's chickens
and DO not view them with much favor,
owing to their being constant compan-
ions of storms Jack thinks that rough
weather may be expected when he sees
petrels about and is not quite sure that
they do not in some way cause the tenn
pest. When the bird is on the outlook
for its prey, it seems to walk on the
water. Hence the eeanen OF olden time.
In allusion to the apostle Peters walking
on the water, called the bird petrol, from
the Latin Petrellus, Little Peter"
So far from the sailors being supersti-
tious as to the capture Of another kind
Of petrel-the Cape pigeon-which is ola
black and white color and about the size
Of a tame pigeon, 1 have known Jack to
take a hand occasionally in capturing
them as a bit ofrecreation during dog
watch. In southern attitudes the Cape
pigeons follow a ship in thousands. The
method Of catching them is peculiar. A
common bottle cork is tied 20 the end of
q long piece Of thread and trailed astern
so that the cork touches the water. This
gives the required tautness 10 the thread.
As the birds fly in clouds from side TO
side astern some Of them constantly
strike the thread with their wings, and
the resistance is enough to turn them
over It, when the thread is wrapped
round the wing and the bird is hauled
on board. In this manner have seen
hundreds caught in day.
On one occasion a clipper ship, carry
ing passengers TO India, captured pigeons
by hundreds, and tho surgeon by some
nischance succeeded in entangling a
stormy petrol.
Now the doctor was an enthusiastic
naturalist and what to the sailors is
known as q 'landlubber' that is, he was
on his first voyage. The doctor at once
took the specimen to his cabin and made
/ preparations TO skin and preserve it. In
hot haste a deputation Of seamen, headed
by the old gray haired sailmaker, cam,
aft with a request that the petrol be sci
at liberty, saying that otherwise the shiI
and all on board would surely suffer
The doctor, somewhat surprised, IN
tended to set the bird free, but his en-
thusiasm as o naturalist prevailed owe
the superstitious warning, and when thl
sailors had disappeared the bird was add
ed to his collection. The fact soon be
came known forward among the men
and the doctor was regarded with blacl
looks by the crew for the remainder o
the voyage.
In the course Of time the good shi
anchored in the Hugh river, and that da
at dinner the doctor suddenly died.
There was q gathering Of the sailor
around the windlass that dogwatch, dn
tho doctors sudden death was attribute
by thesuperstitious sailors TO his slaugl
ter of the stormy peirel.-St. Nicholas.
