Charlie Douglass )from the steamer) hilled a Blue Goose 
with one barrel and a Lesser Snow Goose with the other, both 
birds which I have never seen living and both, of course, new 
to my Umbagog.1ist. They were on the outermost grassy island 
at the mouth of the Cambridge River. When first seen the 
"blue" bird was lying down, the other standing erect. When 
the steamer was within about 50 yards frank Douglass, the en¬ 
gineer, fired at them but missed. They rose, flew about 80 
yards and alighted in the river. Charles Douglass then ran 
the boat to within about 40 yards of them and hilled them 
both. I learned of all this an my returnCfrom Upton), and at 
once went to Douglass's house in the pouring rain and bought 
the birds of him.
