diversions came to pass on the run up from Neuvi-

steamer docked yesterday
A passenger with a double-barrelled shotgun built
especially to bag pigeons tried out the weapon on

voyage. once he aimed at a big flying fish and hit
poor porpoise, and disgust he put up the gun.
On Tuesday forenoon. when the Curityba

marine glass announced that q bufght in

The Curityhas skipper said that the near
