2O6 SOME BIRDS OF SOUTH AFRICA 



K-lee K-lee. They were tamer on St. Croix, where the 

 surroundings were more in keeping with their plumage. 

 The steam back to Port Elizabeth could not be 

 called, by any stretch of imagination, enjoyable, nor 

 was the fact of being cooped up in a very small cabin 

 calculated to improve the position, decked out as I was 

 in a coat that did not belong to me and smelt strongly 

 of fish. In due time the rain ceased, and when we 

 were able to quit our shelter, I was relieved to find 

 that the masts of the shipping outside Port Elizabeth 

 were just visible, lit up by a pale streak of sunlight in 

 the midst of the stormy surroundings. 



THE END.
