then be seizes by the frigate bird before
the fish could reach the water. This bird
is much superior in some particulars in
flight to the turkey buZZard, which has
been carefully studied by Prof. Langley in
his experiments in flying devices
The sail area. so to speak. of the former
is at least as grea. as tbato the latter and
perhaps greater. since, though the wings
are not so broad, they have a spread OF
quite a foot more, and the weight OF the
bird is not more than quarter as much

For days the party secured the veidt in

in company with a native.
Some hours afterward the Boer returned
and informed the party that he had prayed,
and In three days. time very large

Sure enough, two days after the PROM
ised game appeared in sight, and the
Dutchmen made great haul From that
moment the man Of prayer became the
popular hero. Thatmau was Paul Kruger.
Some time afterward the native who accom-
panied Kruger stated that when Kruger
entered the bush he did not pray, but
struck out for a neighboring Kaffir kraai.
Calling the head men. the Boer Informed

armed Beers on the other side OF the
