and the men ran to the sheets
at command while the Karluk shot off
at right angles to her previous course,
sklrting the fog that blanketed the
wind but yet allowed sufficient breeze
to filter through to give them headway,
gliding like a ghost on the new tack
to the east. ...
Rainey, tense from the explosion of
the shell, jumped below at last and
came back exultant.
1T was a dud, Lundw he shouted.
"Or else they didn't want to blow us
up on account Of the gold. But they've

The booming Of the gunboat's for

dulled by the fog-growing fainter.
"Lunds Luck! We've lodged 'em!"
"They'll be waiting for us at the
passes" said Rainey. ."They've got

"Let 'em wait. To blazes with the

WILD CREATURES HATE SNOW
Means Time Of Misery and Hunger to
Both Bird and Beast, and
Thousands Starve.

Most wild creatures abhOr snow.
For the rabbits and hares it means
that they must scratch down through
the dull, frozen stuff before they a
find their usual food. If the snow is
really hard the rabbits r reduced to
eating the bark Of the fences near the
warrens.
All the smaller birds are cut on
from their food supplies. Those that
live on worms or insects are particu-
larly hard hit, and If the snow lies
long the death roll among such birds
az robins is really terrible. In that
winter Of 1917, when there were a
hundred days of now and frost in
England it is estimated that the Brit
ish isles lost about one-third Of their
small-bird population.
Water rats, shrews and others all
dislike frost and snow because such
weather makes food more difficult to
obtain. Offers, as a rule, make straight
for the coast in a hard frost, and live
m dabs and founders in the unfrozen
{, 'laries.
Even rats, which can generally look
q" ar themselves, dislike snow because
!. makes their dark bodies too con-
s." nous to their enemies and pre-
vents them from moving about a.
freely as they otherwise would.
