EVIL Birds" Bring Fear
To South Sea Bandit,

II the ''evil birds" that lay "explo-

Ancestor broth is about the only
thing that will protect the natives
from the harm OF the evil birds. AS
for the Haitian and Dominican ban
dts, however, nothing will protect
them. for the evil birds lay eggs with
such rapidity that outlaw bands are
greatly reduced as a consequence.
