their number Is carefully chronicled
and announced In the local paper.
These apes transfer their abode from
time to time, according TO the state Of
the weather, from the highest peaks
ct the rock to lower and more shelter
ed places. They indulge their sense Of
humor at times by throwing stones at
the soldiers. They may not be seen
for weeks at a time, save In the early
morning hours.
A few years ago, on account Of the
diminishing numbers of these crea-
lures, some apes were procured from
Barbary and turned loose upon the
rock, but the resident apes killed them
all. Although So fierce to intruders Of
their own kind, they never attack hu.
man beings and are greatly esteemed.
