BIRD CATASTROPHE.
Hurricane Broke Many PeIicans'
Wings.

Away back in Septembe-, frightful
hurricane ravaged the coast of GER
tain portions of the Gulf of Mexico.
One of it's branches devastated the
city of Mobile, causing terrible dam
age. Frank M. Miller, president OF
the Louisiana Audubon Society, has
Just learned of the effect of that hur-
ricane on some of the bird island
reservations in the Gulf. 1t Is re-
ported that Grand Cochere Island
which contained 100 acres, has been
swept out of existence by the tropical
hurricane of September. Breton ISL
and, which was six miles long and
was the largest island in the group
and the most resorted to by breeding
seabirds, was cut up into three pieces
by the storm, three leads now running
through it. from side to side.
Since the storm, we are told by
President Miller, no one has ven
tured out to the reservation. Trap
pers had been engaged to go to Bre-
ton Island and trap with the racoons
and muslrats this winter, animals
which in the breeding season do much
damage to the birds; but these trap
pers were prevented from going, ana
their lives were thus saved.
Mr.. Miller is quoted as saying:
Breton Island stood twelve feet out
of the water. The storm was worse
in that section of the sound than
during the Galveston storm. All the
inner islands were under water six
feet. In one instance a house was
on very high pilings as was the els
tern. The water was SO high that
the cistern floated off and left It's
stand.
Thousands of pelicans are on Bre-
ton Island with broken wings. They
are dying. The storm was so fierce
that the birds were dashed to the
ground and in other ways injured.
cat Chandelier Island an iron ship
that had been wrecked on its shores
four years ago was carried clear
across this island and to the North
Harbor islands, where the wind SHIFT
ed and blew the vessel back to Chan'
Sdeleur Island, where it is again lodged.
-Four keepers were on the ship at the
time. and they escaped serious IN
jury.
zone thing" added Mr.. Miller,
''there is not a raccoon or muskraC
left out of the 700 square mile reser-
walton. Every one was drowned, and
I do not believe the islands will be
infested with them again"
Whatever the destruction Of sea
birds by the storm may have been,
continued protection will repair such
damage, and if the predaceoIs
animals have been destroyed
by drowning, as Mr.. Miller
believes. the storm, SO far as
the bird Islands go, will not have
been an unmixed evil.-Forest and
Stream.
