The cry of the wounded bird is, according to Wilson, jnat like that of a hurt child. " The 

 first place I observed this hinl at, when on my way to the south, was about twelve miles north 

 of Wilmington, in North Carolina. Having wounded it slightly in the wing, on being caught, 

 it uttered a loudly n-it^rated and most piteous note, exactly resembling the viol.-nt crying of a 

 young child, which terrified my horse so as nearly to have cost me my lif.-. 



" It was distressing to hear it. I carri.-d it with m in the chair, nnd.-r C..V.T. to Wil- 

 mington. In passing through the streets, its affecting cries surprised every one within hearing, 

 particularly the females, who hurried to the doors and windows with looks of alarm and 

 anxiety. I drove on, and on arriving at the piazza of the hotel where I intended to put up, th.- 

 landlonl came forward, and a number of other persons who happened to be there, all jii.,1' \ 

 alarmed at what they heard ; this was greatly increased by my asking wh.-th.-r h- could fur- 

 nish me with accommodations for myself and my baby. The man looked blank and fooli*h.
