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

them away, they continued to battle
among themselves until Lillico begar

Perceiving that he could make no
Roadway 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
70 a steam tap, and, turning it on full
head, shot the scalding steam and
water into the midst of the fighting
flock.
There was 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 I'D and
beat a 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.
