I asked Miss Wiseman if she thought him the 
same bird that she saw last year with the one white

his feathers. Again, I have thought that the one 
of last year was the parent of this bird. At least, 
there is no doubt about his being, white. You must 
ask Master Joseph to come' here and tell us the 
reason.”
