CROWS ON GOLF LINKS.
One Fastidious Bird That Would
Steal Only New Balls.


The crow seems to be attracted to
golf balls In way wholly peculiar
from the rest of the bird species. In
parks where the rock and the crow
abound one can notice them sitting I'm
the trees or hopping about the putting
green's In the distance watching the
roll Of the ball with direct or side
long glance expressive Of the keenest
interest and curiosity, which Is soon
translated into a desire to carry 1t on
to the roost in the neighboring wood.
The Kew Gardens adjoin the Mid
Surrey course. and in the royal pre-
serve there used to be a fairly large
colony Of crows nesting among the
trees. OF this colony there was one
particular crow who found his great
est amusement In mingling among the
golfers and In disconcerting their play
by INDUCING in repeated predatory
campaigns against their golf balls.
His policy was to hover In attend
ance on those players who used new
white balls only. Those on which
paint had been Clipped or which had
been used In play for several rounds
by an economical player were always
rejected by this particular bird as be-
ing beneath his fastidious attention

eering her tactics, by q supreme EFFORT
she hurled her whole great bulk clear
OF the water for moment, and the
fascinated onlookers beheld the
sharks hanging from various parts of
her cleaning body by their serrated
teeth. Then down she went again,
with crash like thunder. and for an
instant whale and sharks were buried
amidst masses of foam, heavily col
ored with the poor mammals life
blood.
Rising again. she essayed another
change Of plan, making for the rocks
and desperately striving to rub on the
ciinging sharks against their edges.
But the threshers were equal to the
occasion; while those on the outside
maintained their grip, the others
dived under their enemy and charged
her anew. tearing at the whales side
In an ecstasy of ferocity that was
to witness.
More and more feeble grew the
whales struggle. and at last-to the
heartfelt relief of the spectators, for
her death fight had been terrible to
behold-the great body turned over
and sank beneath the red-tinted
water.-Wide-World Magazine.

A FALSE ALARM OF FIRE.

II was on board the Northern
Light, says Captain Osbon, in "A
Sailor Of Fortune" that a false alarm
OF IRE was sounded and disaster pre-
vented only by prompt action. A
passenger looking down through the
boiler hatch saw the red-painted
boiler fronts, and seeing the fame
like color amid cloud Of steam,
shouted Fire." Immediately the
whole vessel was in an uproar and a
dangerous panic was imminent. I
was one OF the under-oficers.
The climax came when the quarter.
master saw q minister of the Gospel
on the rail trying to lower the bow of
one Of the ships boats. ran to him
and ordered him to come down on
deck. The minister paid no attention,
and 1 seized his coat tail to drLg him
down by force.
Perhaps 1t was an old coat, for the
seams parted, and a second later ]
mad the minister's coat tail In my
hands. He came down then. He was
angry, and was likewise a spectacle
to look upon.
He started to call an indignation
meeting, but most Of the passengers
had recovered from their fright by
this time. and were inclined to be
merry ct the. reverend gentIeman's
expense.
He went raging to the captain, who
summoned me to appear. came,

A HEROIC RESCUE.

The storm which swept the Gulf
Coast gave occasion for many deeds
OF heroism, In some of which cour-
aseous volunteers lost their lives. and
In others won their way safely to
shore again. Few which came to gem
eral notice were more heroic than the
deed Of two members Of the crew of
the United States revenue cutter
Winona.
In such a storm the first duty of
the commander Of q vessel is to take
the measures which are most likely
to insure the safety OF his own craft
and his own crew. Most captains
feel that they have done their duty
well when they have done that, and
few seek to accomplish more. But the
captain OF the Winona had thought
and heart for others, too.
The little steamer had herself
passed through the severest part Of
the storm with the greatest dificulty,
being in imminent danger Of destruc.
ton, and saved only by the skill of
her Officers and the strenuous labors
of the crew.
While the wind still blew with
great force and the sea ran high. SO
that the vessel labored dangerously.
1t was seen by those on board that the
Pascagoula lighthouse was almost de-
stroyed. Nothing. In fact, was left
OF 1t but the tower, which swayed in
every gust and threatened to coll
lapse. The keeper, his wife and their
two babies had sought refuge on the
tower, and 1t was apparent that un-
less rescued soon they must perish.
Two men named Peterson, one
master-at-arms and the other quarter.
master OF the cutter, embarked in q
small boat at the risk of their lives,
and made their way to the foot of the
tower. and caught q line which the
-Heeperrthrew down to them. While
the gale buffeted them against the
building and bruised them badly. they
climbed the rope to the top OF the
tower, lowered to the boat below the
keepers wife. the two babies and the
keeper himself, and then, sliding
down the rope, returned safely to the
Winona.

A TRAGEDY OF THE SEA.

About 9 o'clock the men were
startled by an extraordinary noise,
apparently coming from the eastern
end OF the island, a noise unlike any
thing they had ever heard before.
Dropping their tools and starting to-
ward the east, they beheld such a
sight as 1t falls to the lot Of few
people to witness. There, not 500
yards from the shore, was being
waged q battle to the death-a fight
between the great COW whale pre-
viously seen and a school Of thresher
sharks. The calf was swimming
about distractedIy, but the old bull
had disappeared. having baseiy de-
serted his family at the FIRST ap-
proach Of danger.
The sharks, as though acting In ac-
-cordance with some preconcerted
plan, had completely surrounded the
two whales, and, apparently realizing
that nothing was to be feared from
the calf, concentrated all their efforts
upon the COW. Again and again they
charged in upon her, their jaws snap
ping, tearing at her mighty sides until
~NO go "eS fcu WIN DiOOo. mean
while the cow dashed her tail furious
~, hurting up sheets OF Redeemed
water and occasionally crashing down
with terrific force upon one of her
voracious opponents. Maddened with
pain and rage, she dashed this way
and that, but the sharks hung to, her
side with a persistency and ferocity
that made the fascinated onlookers
shudder.
Now and again the wild-lashing
tail would catch one of the assailants,
driving II beneath the waves-no
doubt killed OF disabled-but the re-
mainder rushed in undismayed. tear
ing viciously at the mammals bleed
Ing tanks or butting her with the
force OF battering rams.
Presently the spellbound specta-
tors realized two facts-firstIy, that
the calf had disappeared in the melee,
and secondly. that the tortured whale
was undoubtedly becoming weaker.
II was obvious that the unequal stru, :
gle could have only one ending. stin.
however, she fought on doggedIy, wih
ming admiration and sympathy By net

DEATH OF A WALRUS HUNTER.
An amazing story Of tragic adven-
ture in the remote north was made
public at Winnipeg. Manitoba, upon
the arrival Of Inspector Pelletier's
party Of Northwest Mounted Police.
who have been about the Arctic Circle
for two years. The loss Of Corporal
r. L. M. Donaldson, Of Aylmer. Ont.
In a battle with herd Of walrus, 500
miles north Of Fort Churchill, in Hud-
son Bay, was but one example OF the
death constantly confronting them.
Donaldson, with Reeves, started
from Fullerton bound for Churchill
In q forty-four-foot Hudson Bay cruis-
ing yacht, accompanied by an Eskimo
guide. They made the cruise safely
and arrived eventually at Marble ISL
and, some miles down the coast from
Fullerton.
The Eskimos have a tradition re-
garding this island. They believe 1t
to be great iceberg turned by some
spirit into stone Of a peculiar opaque
wilderness. No Eskimo will make a
landing on its shores. When the boat
and her crew came within striking
distance Of It Donaldson suddenly
called Reeves attention to what
seemed a strange phenomenon.
Reeves strained his eyes and he. too.
seemed to see the island moving up
and down in the water.
So marked was the illusion that the
two officers called the Eskimo to look.
Ford, the Eskimo, at once cried that
what seemed to make the island move
was the presence Of an immense herd
OF walrus. AS they drew closer the
huge animals, any one of them as
large as truck horse, were easily
distinguishable. and Donaldson deter
mined to get nearer in the yachts
dingey and try a shot at them.
The yacht lay by and the Ill fated
oficer set out alone in the dingey
with his rife. Soon he was close to
the great herd, firing right and left.
He killed or wounded several of the
brutes. and then, the barrel of his
rife becoming hot, he started to pull
back tc the yacht.
By this time the entire herd Of a
thousand or more was thoroughly
alarmed and excited. and Donaldson
had trouble In getting, back to the
larger boat. There he was Joined by
Reeves, and together they set out in
the dingey to skim the edge OF the
herd and secure the tusks and heads
Of the slain animals. To their dis
may when they got well toward the
visible edge OF the herd terrific roars
and snorts in the icy water astern
Of their little craft warned them that
they were encircled. Huge bulls kept
rearing suddenly all about them, and
witt. four sets Of tusks in the bottom
cf their boat, the two men decided
20 pull for the yacht again.
They had hardly started when an
erraged bull came up with a terrible
crash right beneath their dingey's
keel, hosting 1t clear OF the water
and throwing both men far over
board. The two struck out for the
yacht as IL by instinct, but after a
few strokes in the freezing water
Reeves decided to go back to the cap
sized dfngey and cling to it. He had
barely reached 1t when Donaldson
suddenly disappeared amid a commo-
ton in the water. He was never seen
again.

Battle Harbor, Labrador, by Marcom Wireless, via Cape Ray, N. F., September 19.-One of the men on the steamer Roose- welt at least knew long ago that pr. Frederick A, Cook had claimed to nave reached the pole He is William Pritch- ard, cabin boy, and assistant cook on the Roosevelt, who remained at Annatook with Boatswain Murphy to guard the stores. Pritchard had not spoken to any one on board of Dr. Cooks achievement but when confronted yesterday just prior to the sailing of the Roosevelt from Bat tie Harbor, with a wireless message fro 3 mid-ocean that Dr. Cook said that PritcL ard knew the whole story of his dash fol the pole, the youth admitted that he had learned from Dr. Cook these details or the final march, and that pr. Cook had explained to him the route followed
 Whether Boatswain Murphy also was informed of Dr. Cooks success, Pritchard did not know, but unquestionably Harry Whitney, who was at the storehouse when pr. Cook returned from his dash with the two Eskimos Is conversant with all the facts. Whitney did not disclose this interesting piece of news to Commander Peary, and Pritchard kept 1t from Peary during the entire voyage of the Roosevelt
