1t Fell Victim to the Deadly Giant
Powder Habit.
Dick Willoughby relates an anus
ing incident that happened to him
at Funtcr bay.
Dick was driving tunnel on q
ledge back OF his cabin, and was in
the habit OF leaving stick of giant
powder on rock in sunny place
ut the mouth of the tunnel to thaw
out. On several occasions when he
went to get his powder it had mys-
teriously disappeared, and he was
at loss to account for it. AS it was
considerable of an annoyance to have
to so to the cabin and get more pow
der and wait for it Ito thaw, Dick
concluded to watch proceedings and
wait for the thief. says juneau
writer.
He laid the stick OF powder in its
usual place, and waited but short
time when he saw raven sail out
of treo and swoop down upon the
explosive. The bird tore at the
tough paper cover until it could get
Mt the powder. then began to greedi-
ly devour it. Giant powder is made
up OF nitro glyccrine, sawdust and
grease. and whole stick of it makes
very hearty breakfast for raven.
The stick was nearly gone when
Dick thought it was time to avenge
his loss and was in the act of raising
his rifle when the raven gave de-
tiant cav and arose in the air with
the remainder OF the stick Of powder
grasped in its claws. When up some
distance the powder slipped from
the birds grasp and came tumbling
to the ground. Dick saw the powder
drop and lodged behind Il boulder,
fearing it would explode when it
struck the rocks; however, it did not
