Modoc Proves Haven To Barn
Owl In Distress Far At Sea

Frequent calls to save life and
property come to the United States
coast guard but only rarely does it
serve as a haven to a bird in dis
tress.
The Modoc was searching Satur-
day off Cape Hatteras for the
Voyager, a fishing boat out of Nor
folk, reported disabled.
There was a strong northwest
wind and fog and the cutter was
from 40 to so miles from the coast.
A barn owl, having lost his bear
ings and finding it difficult to fly
against the strong wind, sighted the
Modoc, swooped down, and landed
between the bridge and the stack.
The owl was placed in n of h
lockers on board, coast guardsmen

pulled down as he liked the dark.
Weak and tired from efforts to
fly against a fresh strong breeze
miles away from shore, the owl
kept quiet the first day, blinked
his eyes at his keepers, and tried
to straighten himself out again.
The owl began to get his strength
back the next day and by the third
day in captivity began to hiss quite
a bit each time the shade to his
quarters was pulled up.
