FIGHTS FLOCK OF
STARVING GULLS
MAN HAS DESPERATE BATTLE
WITH RAVENoUS BIRDS IN
ELLIOTT BAY, WASH.
FRENZIED BY SIGHT OF FOOD
large Flock Attacks Food Launch
Brings to Ship and They Are
Only Driven Off by Scald-
ing Steam.

Seattle, Wash.-Driven to deSpera-
ton by hunger and frenzied at the
sight of food, large flock of sea gulls,
usually the most peaceful and coward
ly CT birds, attacked the launch Puget
in Elliott Bay the other afternoon,
and for time threatened to defeat
the owner in his frantic attempts to
beat them back and save his deck
load of supplies. Beset on every side
with tearing, swooping gulls, the mas
ter of the launch, Capt Roy Lillico,
fought desperately until almost ex-
hausted, and would have suffered no
little damage to person and craft had
he not by inspiration made use of
unique contrivance to beat back and
drive away the starving birds
The severe storms of the last few
weeks have driven the gulls to shell
ter in the harbor, and not in ten years
before have there been such flocks of
them swarming over the bay as at the
present time. There has in con-
sequence been shortage of
food for the birds and they have re-
sorted to many devices to get enough
to keep alive. There were hundreds
of them in the stream when Lillico
took his launch from the foot of Mad
iSon street and started for the French
bark Desaix.
The forward deck of the launch was
covered with parcels containing
oranges, grapes and other fruits. The
Desaix had almost been reached when
the captain noticed a large swarm of
gulls lowering about the launch and
following it in it's course. Suddenly
one of them swooped down, and, max
ing dive at one of the parcels on the
deck, tore open the paper cover An
orange rolled out and the famished
birds clutched at it and attempted to
carry it away. In an instant he was
the center of a horde of other gulls.
lighting to possess the orange. Their
shrill cries of excitement and rage
summoned other flocks of birds and
Barbour County index., 1908-02-12

IN a little time the launch was beset
On every side by gulls.
Alone in the launch, Lillico was at
loss as to the best course to pur-
sue. He stopped the engine and step
ped out on the deck, where the birds
were tearing open the parcels and
dismantling the fruit as they fought
with each other for possession. Heed
less of the mans attempts to drive
them away, they continued to battle
among themselves until Lillico began
to belabor them with a pike Then
they turned upon him and vented
their rage in efforts to tear his face
clothes and hands. Almost blinded
by the cloud of Tapping wings, snap
ping beaks and tearing claws, Lilli-
CO fought frantically, at first to save
his cargo. and then to save himself.
Perceiving that he could make no
headway with his pike blows and
realizing that his eyes and clothing
were liable to be torn from him if he
continued on deck, the captain beat
a hasty retreat inside the launch, and
there he found the idea which saved
the day. He took a hose, attached it
TO steam tap, and, turning 1t on full
head. shot the scaiding steam and
water into the midst of the fighting
flock
There was a wild scream of pain
and fright from the gulls. and many
of them, sightless fell into the water.
The others made plucky attempt to
Withstand the burning vapor, but
were finally obliged to give up and
beat retreat Once driven away, they
did not return to the attack and the
launch was not further molested- as
it proceeded on its way to the French
bark.

From the age Of three months until

disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw
He used to tear himself dreadfully in

through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one

Work along this line would also be
likely to show the way for utilization
of thousands of tons of sawdust which
are now wasted each year.
1t is true some utilization is made
of min waste at present, but in most
cases it is only the larger and more
modern plants that even make any
attempts in this line. Then, as it is,
the plants which use the waste slabs,
after laths are made, often waste the
sawdust, and those which use the saw
dust waste the slabs.
The slab residue from the lumber
cut of the country is estimated to
amount to about 14,000, 900 cords. of
which about 100000, with an average
value of $1.49 a cord, is sold for fuel,
100000 burned by the mills for fuel and
100000 sent to the refuse burners.
This last figure shows the enormous
quantity of forest product that is pure
waste.
The iron furnace slab heaps have
been seized upon by the brickmaker.
and the screening dump of the coal
mines has become a valuable source of
raw material for the briquette manu-
facturer. Experts say it may become
possible to make just as good use of
the waste heaps of the lumber mills If
slabs and sawdust can be converted
into pulp
