GANNET A LESSON FOR AVIATORS 



From "Our Common Sea-Birds" (Country Life. Ltd.). 



THE GANNET PUTTING ON THE BRAKE 



The instant fish are descried swimming close to the surface, the Gannet comes wheeling 

 round- down go the brakes 'hard all': its depressing planes are tilted; it sweeps downwards 

 half closing its wings; and then falls like a streak of white light, plumb to the water and 

 there is one fish less in the sea.
