Have you ever been on a.
crocodile hunt? DR.. George Max
well has just returned from a
successful expedition into the
Mangrove Jungles, near Kingston,
Jamaica, where he reports that
crocodile hunting is at its best.
The most fascinating thing about
one of these expeditions is the
eeriness involved in going out in.
to the swamps in the dark of
night. The technique is to hire
native "pushers," and they pro-
vide the small boat in which the
hunter rides, and do the rowing
or pushing. The object is to To-
cate the crocodiles and work
them slowly into their nests
where you then sometimes have
the opportunity to shoot them, if
they don't duck away again. The
reptiles are easily seen in the
dark because their eyes glow a
bright red color.
DR.. Maxwell shot five of them
and from the skin of one is hav.
ing a pocketbook made for his
daughter. Another he is having
tanned and preserved for display
purposes and a memento of his
enjoyable and successful trip.
Before returning home he va
cationed at Montego Bay and I'M
Nassau, and later visited the Hal
ter Cunninghams in Palm Beach
and the Harrison England's at
Deerfield Beach enroute to Mary
land.
