Fish Tales

Every year about this time the
natives of Morgan's Station gather
along the shore and on the cliffs and
shoot hawks. Yesterday 100 guns
were in action and it seemed that
there was a dozen hawks for each
gun, so fast did they come shooting
~shoreward against the heavy north
west wind. The hawk is a pest in
the eyes of the baymen, who claim
that they destroy many young quail
and rabbits, as well as carry off
many young chickens. Morgan's
Station is not the only place where
the hawks receive a cold lead recep-
ton. Up on the mountain near
Notch. Brook, the natives kill a few
crows and place the bodies in an
open spot and then knock over the
them.
Captain Williams, of Jersey City,
