Along the dixie top the migrants were running The
gantet with death With the rst invasion OF the tide
across the fats all the marsh hawks of the neghbor
hood some four or FIVE, had gathered TO the hunt
knowing we'll just what the flood would do Tor them
Also many crows had come At intervals along the
crest of the dixie stood the hawks, with wings hall
spread screaming excitedly clutchng at their victims
and devouring them with unlOrdly haste. Two, al
ready gorged were Tapping away heavily toward the
forest clad inland ridges, carrying Imp tropae m then
taIons As for the crows there were perhaps TWO
of them all cawng nosiy flying low along the crest Of
the dixie alightng decatey from time to tire to stab
right and left with their dagger-ike beaks
THE big brown marsh mouse wise with experienee
and many escapes, took this all in he mounted
the slope of the dixie Marking hawk just above him
he doubled nirnbly back jumping over half a dozen
along he again assembled As he came over the crest
mob of shrews and smaller mice, he saw crow Just
dropping on him. The eyes of the crow, irnpish and
maevOent, were hXed not on MIN, OuJ on 4 sIIl SneW
close at his side.
Imagining himself however, the object Ofattack the
brown mouse fell into rage Darling upward he fixed
his long teeth IN the black nlarauder thigh Just above
the leg Joint, and pulled him down into the scurying
stream of rodents. With squeak OF rage and alarm the
crow struck out savagey- His rnurderOus beak stabbed
