on Saturday evening several will
mington police visited this city In
one Of the Public Safety Department
cars. They were in search of a
foreigner who is alleged to have shot
another man on "B" street, VIII

relatives living here. Evidently the
man did not come here. as the offi-
GERS left about midnight without
making an arrest.
While seagulls are frequently seen
flying over the Delaware river oppo-
site this city, never before last Satur-
day evening were the residents OF
the city treated to the rare sight OF
thousands OF these birds flying over
the city at low altitude. About 8
O'Clock thousands OF the birds were
noticed headed inland, and for more
than an hour Battery Park was the
scene of activities by a bewildered
feathereby army. The birds seemed
unable to determine just which way
to go and filled the atmosphere with
their peculiar chantings. until near
sunset when they left.
Many old residents say they never
before witnessed such sight, and
could advance no reason for the sud
den desire displayed by the flock tc
come inland. Some declared this
another sign OF cold winter, while
Others said there must have been a
heavy storm at sea.
