LITTLE PETE'S LONG VOYAGE.

stitious being, Pete was welcomed
amid cries of wonder at encountering
a honing pigeon in the middle of the
Pacific ocean, and was allowed to
ride wherever he chose on shipboard.
The bird was kindly treated and fed,
and one day, during a storm which
frightened him and drove the little
tramp to shelter on deck, it was dis
on one leg bearing a number and his
name. He was placed in a box with
Stats for bars, and in this condition
came into San Francisco bay with the
Lucy Belle, just as happy at sight
of land as any member of the crew,
who considered him a mascot.
The story of the Lucy Bellies mas
cot soon spread among the shipfolk
along the wharves and in a few
hours Pete was identified as having
been shipped some weeks before for
Auckland. Then it was that the peo-
pie understood that the crafty fellow
was homeward bound.
All this is wonderful enough; but
the fact that Pete reached home I'M
aided over 1000 miles of land route
is. perhaps, only less wonderful. But
he did.
It was argued on the Lucy Belle
that a bird possessing a brain wise
enough to figure out an ocean voyage
could reach his home on land, and
after some debate the sailors Sc
curely fastened a little story to Pete's
leg, reciting his adventures so far az
known to them, and turned him loose.
How the dear little wanderer found
his way home he alone can tell.
1t took Pete nine days to travel the
1000 miles, in covering which. of
course, he must have stopped often;
for. if he could have gone straight
home, the distance could have been
made in thirty or forty hours. We
who had sent him off to Australia had
not the slightest idea that he was
this side Of the equator. or of the
world. when. one morning not long
ago Mr.. Pete quietly hoped down
from the home loft. and without any
fuss whatever Joined his mates at a
brea kfast of corn, wheat and crumbs.
Now. what do you think of him?
He will never be sent away again.
for there is not sufficient money at
the disposal Of any one man to Sc
cure him.
If you know of any girls or boys

Some time ago a consignment of
homing or carrier pigeons left San
Francisco for Auckland, New Zealand,
to be used in carrying communications
between Auckland and Great Barrier
island, and among the little feathered
messengers was a bird named Pete,
which belonged to me. Pete was all
ways known as a wise fellow, his in
telligence at times causing people to
marvel. But Pete was a tramp; that
is, he could not be depended upon if
sent on a long trip, often lettering on
the way to hunt food or to play, per-
haps staying out hours when he should
have been absent only minutes. So
Pete was shipped away to be used as
a loft bird-one which stays at the
home loft to attract returning messen-
he couldn't help it, but his cunning
played a fine trick on his new owners
This bird was taken 1900 miles by land
to San Francisco, POSE miles by water
to Hawaii thence 22lo miles by water
TO the Samoan islands, thence 1900 miles
TO the samoan Hands. thence 1900 miles
by water to Auclzland-in all nearly
5000 miles, and-now Pete is at home
again.
The home coming of this bird is little
short of marvellous. and this is how he
accomplished it. Watching carefully
for an opportunity to escape. after
landing at Auckland, PETE took to his
wings. and finding in the harbor the
vessel which had carried him so far
from home, ne radiated from its masts
in every direction searching for a IA
miIiar scene or object, which. of
course. he could not find so many
thousand miles away from his Ameri-
can dove cote. However, he stayed
near the ship. perhaps thinking it
would return 10 America: but when
the vessel finally steamed out. headed
for Australia instead of the United
states. Pete deserted his perch and
struck out straight toward his home
land. So it happened that the Lucy
Belle, an old fashioned sailing vessel
laden with lumber from the Samoan
sles. when three days from Christmas
sland. was boarded by an almost ex-
lausted stranger; and the stranger
