PIGEONS FIND THEIR WAY
BACK TO THEIR HOME SHIP
Captain of British Bark Tells of
the Unerring Instinct of
Belgian Bird

Captain Cowdy of the British steam
ship Cayo Manzanillo is a fancier of
pigeons, and has demonstrated by ae-
tual experience, says the Houston Post,
that birds of the homing class will To-
cate themselves a temporary as we'll
said that he had noticed recently in
dispatches from Galveston that a num-
Der OF homer pigeons had been picked
up by vessels in the gulf and by people
opinion that they may be part of his
family of 10 which was lost from the
cayo Manzanillo off Vera Cruz in a
storm.
These 10 pigeons are Belgian birds
and have Travelled with Captain Cowdy
for thousands of miles and have been
at times as far as 500 miles in the in
terror, and in every case have found
their way back to their ship, evidently
having no trouble picking out their
homes among the numerous other yes
sells that might be at anchor.
One of the latest tests that Captain
ccowdy cop gave to his, his birds m toD; was at Vera
with him a distance of 200 miles into
the interior to the City of Mexico
where they were released, and they
loft on board his ship:
An interesting coincidence with the
disappearance of his 10 birds on the
night of the storm was that the next
the ship at sea and fell to 4he deck
exhausted. Shortly afterward 1t re-
covered and appeared anxious to leave
again. 1t was released. but litter flying
about the ship for while rose in the
air and made frantic appeals, so Cap
tain Cowdy interprets them, to attract
the attention of the commander and
then slowly started away in the direc-
ton from which it had come Captain
Cowdy is positive in his belief that
the birds actions were intended to
ell hot would after
panions and steer them to the ship
The birds disappearance was the last
seen of it, and the captain is of the
opinion that his pets were caught in
the force of the gale and perished. else
he Is sure that they would have fol-
lowed the ship.

The decrease in the tonnage of sail
ing vessels seems to continue
During the years 1897 and 1903 there
was a remarkable standstill, and since
that time the decrease has again con-
tinued with noticeable regularity. The
German sailing fleet shows an increase
Of 1900 net tons, by which 1T rose to
the sixth place in the worlds feet,
which formerly was occupied by Italy
The following table shows the net
tonnage of ten principal nations. giving
also the increase or decrease since the
year previous. The sailing fleet OF the
Netherlands, at one time by far the
largest of the world. takes now the
fourteenth place, with only $4,000 ton
mage.
