best to give the liner good send-off by
padding round her In circles, the
pleading face Of a twenty-dollar bill
peered up at him. Mr.. Swenson was
not the man to resist the appeal. He
uttered sharp bark Of ecstasy,
pressed his derby hat firmly upon his
brow and dived In. A moment later
he had risen to the surface and was
gathering up money with both hands.
He was still busy with this con-
genial task when tremendous splash
at his side sent him under again; and,
rising for second time, he observed

along fine and had had the situation
well In hand. To him Sam Marlowe
represented Competition, and Mr..
Swenson desired no competitors In his
treasure-seeking enterprise. He trav-

Sam Marlowe had a touch of the

him from drowning. found himself

Capt. Davis Finds
Bird Menagerie
in Fishing Boat
Dy Press Staff COrrespODd dent

CALIPATRIA, May "a While
overhauling his launch at Salton
Sea a few days ago, Captain Charles
Davis, of Mullett Island, found a
number of owls nests in the bot
tom of the boat, containing nearly
IA dozen baby owls, of the monkey
faced variety.
This owl is said to catch birds
and small animals as food for their
young, but instead of killing their
victims, they break the wings of
the birds and leave them in the
nests for the baby owls to play
with.
This story is borne out by Capt
Davis discovery of dozens of birds,
mostly blackbirds, number of
shore and several small rabbits in
the bottom ofthe boat.
Many of the birds were still alive
but disabled while others were part
ly eaten. The captain secured a
number of the baby owls for pets
to add to his famous collection.
The Captain will make his first
spring trip to the Pelican islands in
Salton sea, which is a hatchery for
many of the rarer birds of this val
ley.
