An odd story comes up from Great
Island in Portland harbor in connec-
ton with the deer situation down
there. Last fall. a calf belonging to
Frank Stevens Straycd away and al
though efforts We're made to find it it
could not be located. Recently. how
ever some gunners who We're out hunt
ing SAW the lorg lost calf in company
with a deer and since that time the
two have been seen together on several
occasions. sometimes the calf being
with several deer. 1t is evident that
the little animal has been adopted by
the deer of Great Island and has now
become one of their number. 1t has
become as shy deer and in fact
lives and acts just as they do.
