up the little gun and gave them two barrels as 
they rose, dropped it, seized the heavy gun and 
fired two more shots, dropping a long ranger 
with the last barrel, Leonard at the same time 
getting in some good work with his automatic. 
Unfortunately the butt of the little gun fell on 
the seat and slipped back, and after firing my 
fourth barrel I turned around just in time to 
see my pet firearm plunging muzzle foremost 
over the bow, the butt having been caught in the 
flywheel of the engine. We stopped the craft 
immediately, shoved an oar down into the mud, 
took a back sight over our wake, marked a point 
on the shore, went back a little, put down an¬ 
other oar about where we thought the gun ought 
to be, and proceeded to pick up the birds. The 
little gun had gone down with colors flying, as 
there were six dead ducks and two cripples on 
the water, one of which escaped. All th s had 
occurred just opposite a famous, grape fruit 
grove, to which we proceeded for the purpose 
of borrowing rakes to search for the lost gun. 
After spending an hour raking ineffectually, we 
gave it up and went ashore to return the rakes 
and eat luncheon. At this grove the} - raise seed¬ 
less grape fruit, and it is said to be the finest 
and best kept orchard in Florida. After luncheon 
we tried again for the gun. inducing the rancher’s 
son to dive for it, but it was all to no effect, 
consequently we put down two poles, took up 
the oars, offered a reward of $20 for the gun 
and resumed our shooting.' 
Meredith promised that he would not fail to 
write me concerning the result of the attempts 
to find the gun which we expected the offer 
would induce, but as I have heard nothing from 
him, I am forced to the sad conclusion that I 
shall never again have the pleasure of handling 
my pretty little fowling piece. 
Notwithstanding all the time we had lost in 
our useless search, we bagged a big lot of birds, 
more than we should have been willing to shoot 
had it not been our last day. I shall not give 
the number of ducks that we took, for fear that 
some of your readers will call us bad names. 
This much I will say, though—we had already 
determined to quit on Tuesday before I received 
the telegram, as we felt that four days of such 
shooting ought to be enough to satisfy reason¬ 
able sportsmen. It had been our intention to put 
in a week on the bass fishing near Dade City, 
and 1 suggested to Leonard that he go there 
without me, but he preferred not, consequently 
we departed the next morning for the North. 
During the entire trip Leonard had been tak¬ 
ing numerous photographs with a camera that 
he had borrowed from his brother before leav¬ 
ing home, and in consequence I had counted upon 
illustrating this paper with some interesting pic¬ 
tures, but much to our disgust there was some¬ 
thing wrong with the apparatus, and every ex¬ 
posure was a total failure. 
O 11 the whole, in spite of the cold and stormy 
weather and the mishaps herein recorded, our 
trip in Florida and Cuba was most enjoyable, 
and we both expect to look back to it with great 
pleasure and satisfaction for many years to come.

A MOVING FOREST IN WALES. 
A strange story of a moving wood near 
Llandaff was told at a meeting of the district 
council by one of the members (William Hop¬ 
kins) 
The wood, he said, was situated on a steep 
slope and was gradually moving toward the road 
at the foot. The wood is quite 400 yards long 
and consists of stately elm trees. It had “left 
its moorings,” he said, and was moving bodily 
toward the Llanvithyn road. A cut had been 
left at the top, which was full of water. 
Some of the trees were coming down bodily, 
while others were leaning in all directions. The 
wood had been moving now eight or nine days 
and it was some little distance from the road, 
but was in danger of coming on to it.—From the 
London Chronicle.
