Otto Madsen, Thorvald Jensen, Jens

however, was not favorable, as there
was a hunter for each duck on the
lake and many of the anxious ones
started their bombardment long before
day light, resulting in the fact that
most of the ducks were gone before
they could be seen. Just how many
birds were brought along home is not
known.
