WE KODAK OUR BAG 211 



that, by the time my thoughts were collected 

 sufficiently, they were all out of range but 

 the old gander. On him a parting bead was 

 drawn, and down he came on a portion of ice 

 that was very unsafe, and so far from the edge, 

 as to prevent our approaching him with the 

 boat. So we got behind the clamper already 

 referred to, to watch developments. After 

 a while, thinking he was alone, this gander 

 that had been shamming helplessness, sud- 

 denly obtained a new lease of life, and started 

 for the woods on the light-house shore, at 

 least 500 yards away. We allowed him to 

 travel until he reached ice strong enough for 

 Will to follow him. When he observed Will 

 on his track, to show his cunning, he turned 

 from the shore for the outside ice but too 

 late. Will soon had him by the leg, and 

 stopped his further running. Thus ended 

 the last act in the drama, and we returned 

 to Derry Island to make ready for our de- 

 parture the next Saturday morning. 



To commemorate this grand outing the 

 birds were hung up in front of the house, 

 the gunners were placed in suitable positions, 

 and the "kodak" brought into requisition.
