The young birds are always the first to
be on the move. the older birds sticking
to their resorts in wild and secluded spots
until they are driven out by a storm. A
storm of any size will invariably drive
the birds inland, most often to inhabited
places, where. at such times, it is easiest
for them to obtain food and shelter But.
curiously enough, they do not stay in
safety. when it is comm on dark" as
fishermen say. AS it comes on dark the
birds circle about in the air, gradually
rising toward the clouds, and then slowly
begin to beat for the coast. even in the
teeth of the fercest gale.
This homcward flight not unusually is
Joined by great numbers of the birds.
although in very few cases, indeed be-
sides this, do gulls flock together as other
birds dc. Instead, they rise in the air
singly and fly with the nearest COM
panion sometimes hundreds of yards
away. OF course, there are often groups
of half dozen, and lowering over nest
ing grounds there are often scores of the
birds to be found; but they are never
seen in such clouds as geese or in such
countless numbers as inland birds like
swallows or blackbirds. which at this
season of the year are also beginning to
be on the wing, heading for winter quar-
ters.
The gulIs that fly about the East and
North Rivers live along the Sound and

to see and confer with United States Con-

between these two gentlemen, Mr.. Howard

of the Philippine Islands, says, in the first
edition of his history, that this meeting
took place at The Mansion River Valley
Road at midnight to avoid the Spanish
secret agents who were following General
Aguinaldo and attempting to fetter his
movements. The result of this Singapore

struc-tons to the former were delivered by
Consul Wildman. They authorized Agui,

Cubans from the cruelties under which
they were suffering, and not for the love
