Gets Bird and Rabbit With
One Arrow Shot, Fine Sport

EDEN, Wis.-Gus Smith, an ex-
pert archer, scorns shotguns when he
goes hunting. He goes armed only
with his bows and arrows:
He was tramping through the
woods near his home when his culver
caught on a bush, but he thought
little Of it and did not believe his
arrows were damaged.
Soon, in an open field, he made a
hasty selection of an arrow and shot
1t at a partridge on the wing, only a
short distance away. He noticed the
arrow describing a wide curve, but
the partridge made quick turn and
was knocked down.
The arrow, however, had only
struck a glancing blow and kept 60
ing. 1t described a wide circle, COM
ing back to the place where Smith
stood, the same as a boomerang, and
killed a rabbit which had jumped up
just behind Smith. Smith picked UP
the rabbit and ran to where the stun
ned partridge lay, catching it before
1t recovered. Examination showed
that the feathers on the arrow had
been knocked askew when his culver
struck the bush and that they had
made rudder which carried it in a
circle.

all of which were broken. When
rescued they had only one patched
oar left.
On the fifth day they were. in the
small boat, Captain Andreassen said,
one of the casks of water upset and
all its contents were lost. Much of
that in the other had been drunk.
1t was then the mouthful day was
apportioned. They caught some rain
water, but the spindrift got in it
and made 1t too salt to drink.
Unseen by Three Vessels
Two vessels were seen in the dis
lance the fifth day and the following
day passenger vessel was sighted,
but the small boat was not seen.
Despite their shortage of water,
the men were thankful they had little
rain and that they were on the, other
side of the gulf stream, where it
was comparatively warm. They were
cheerful and sang, but had about
given up hope whed the -VaarH was
sighted. They had then drifted 400
miles.
Captain Andreassen saw the
Vaarli. The others were asleep and
he said he did not awaken them for
time, as he did not want to dis
appoint them. But when he saw the
Vaarli had turned and was bearing
down on them he let out yell and
woke them up. They were picked
up Saturday, about 700 miles from
Bermuda. The men were almost ex-
hausted when taken on board the
Vaarli. Her master, Captain Hen
rick Olsen, ordered warm food and
drink for them and they quickly re-
vived.
The men brought here besides Cap
tain Andreassen were George Bic,
second mate; Johann Johansen, boat
swain; Johann Laitora, Vans Wohl,
August Karlson, Toivo Lockonen,
Ho1ger Leonard Korrel, Elnar Lorio,
Anthony WOLF, Ollie Ferjesen and

Contrary to superstition, these pieces
