PIGEON FAMILY ON A SHIP.
Female Made Her Mate Sit on the
Eggs During the Voyage.


Eg2s During the Voyage.

When the Delano left Rotterdam q
pair of pigeons were occupying a loft
>on the vessel. On the voyage across
the Atlantic two eggs appeared in the
nest, over which there was q real
pigeon chuckle that drew the attention
Of the crew, and investigation proved
that a family was expected. Great care
was taken by the sailors In wild wealth
er to see that the mother and her eggs
were not rolled out or washed by the
seas.
Then the sailors discovered that
there was more petticoat government

nest promise to yield sea crop Of
pigeons.

place on the eggs. Then she stood out
side the nest and spruccd her plumage,
which she had disregarded at sea. Then
looking several times into the home and
seeing that everything was all right
she raised her wings and flew away.
At tea time she had not returned and
