AT THE 
GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP 
R. O. Heikes, in the Professional Championship Match, broke 143 ex 160, winning second place with his Auto¬ 
loading Shot Gun. This new gun is a proven success at the trap. C. B. Adams, of Iowa, made a run of 105 
targets at the G. A. H., with his No. 5 Grade Remington Autoloading Shot Gun. Win. Heer, shooting a double 
barrel Remington, beat all back mark shooters, breaking 91 from 21 yards. Send for literature to N. Y. office.

the others still very ill. (I had before seen a 
shiep’s crew suffering from fish poisoning in' 
the Marshall Islands, but they were cured by 
native remedies.) Then, fortunately, one of my 
boat's crew, a native of Rotumah, told me that 
he remembered hearing of two American ladies 
who had eaten posionous fish being given con¬ 
densed milk “with some kind of oil'’-—what 
kind he did not know. It might have been 
kerosene for all I knew, but I came to the 
conclusion that it was probably castor oil. 
Among other cargo on board there was, luckily, 
some cases of condensed milk, intended for the 
Wesleyan missionaries at Port Hunter (near 
Mioko), but of castor oil there was none in the. 
medicine chest. There was, however, a two- 
gallon jar of rank fish oil in the carpenter’s 
locker, and the second mate and I thought that 
that would do as well. But to get at the cases 
of milk we had to shift nearly fifty tons of 
cargo, working by the light of lanterns in the 
stifling hold. 
On the “kill or cure” principle the second 
mate and I opened half a dozen tins of milk, 
poured their contents into a bucket, and added 
a quart of fish oil, mixed it well together, and 
then dosed our patients. The effect was really 
marvellous, for in a quarter of an hour the 
agonizing stomach pains ceased, the twitchings 
of the fingers, eyelids, and lips became less and 
less, and before many hours had passed all the 
sick men were decidedly better, and some of 
them asleep. By breakfast-time next morning 
the captain and three A.B.’s were able to stand, 
and they, with all the rest of the men, said that 
everything they saw looked yellow—a very usual 
thing in cases of recovery from fish poisoning. 
I must mention that the natives say that at 
certain seasons of the year this particular va¬ 
riety of the tuna can be eaten with safety—when 
the red and orange markings disappear from the 
throat. And the late Dr. Kubary, an eminent 
German savant, who spent most of his life in 
the South Seas, told me that there were in the 
Moluccas and the Caroline Islands .two varieties 
of the tuna which during four months of the 
year were "highly poisonous, but for at least 
six months could be eaten without fear. In 
Micronesia, before the advent of the American 
missionaries, the natives were great tuna fishers. 
Nowadays they do not catch any. In the old 
times a tuna-fishing party of men would not as¬ 
sociate with the opposite sex for three days be¬ 
fore setting out; nor would they even partake 
of food cooked by an adult female, though very 
young girls (under ten years of age) might at¬ 
tend upon them. The missionaries, being of 
“but little understanding,” regarded this custom 
as a mere heathenish fad, and forbade it. The 
consequence is that the present generation of 
I Micronesians would hardly know a tuna if they 
saw . one—it is a fish with heathenish associations.
