fifty yards from ones door naIr
dozen or more could be shot in as
many minutes.
MY nearest neighbor was German,
and one day when we were walking
along the beach toward his station /
noticed some hundreds of pigeons fly
down from the forest, settle on the
margin of the water and drink with
apparent enjoyment. The harbor at
this spot being almost landlocked and
the water as smooth as glass and with
out the faintest ripple, the birds were
enabled to drink without wetting their
plumage. My neighbor, who had lived
many years in New Britain, told me
that this drinking of sea water was
common to both cockatoos and pigeons
alike, and that on some occasions the
beaches would be lined with them, the
cockatoos not only drinking, but bath
ing, and apparently enjoying them
selves greatly. During the next six
months, especially when the weather
was calm and rainy, 1 frequently no.
ticed pigeons and cockatoos come to the
salt water to drink.
"At first I thought that as fress.

through it to a great depth. 1t didn't
take those three giant muscled Kama
kas more than ten seconds to shuttle
out of their few clothes. Then they
removed the strings from their long
knives, grasped the knives in their
right hands, stepped gently over the
side of the lighter, hung to the gum
wales of the lighter with their left
hands for a moment or so, and then,
altogether, they gave that queer diving
wriggle to their legs in which they are
so expert and disappeared from the
surface. We couldn't see them going
down on account of the commotion
and consequent bubbles they made in
the water.
"Within about ten seconds after they
disappeared the bubbles that came to
the surface began to take on the hue
of blood.
That about settles one Kanaka, If
not the whole three of Them said we
on the gangway. The next thing we
saw was a gigantic shark thrashing
the water crafty on the port side of
the lighter and incarnadining the sea
within a radius of fifty feet with its
