The latest fish story concerns the herring and 
the seagull, and comes from Nanaimo, B. C. A 
boat load of herring, containing about fifteen 
tons, was left at a wharf at Nanaimo during the 
noon hour while the fishermen went to dinner. 
During their absence several thousand seagulls, 
the chronicler says io,ooo, but it is not in evi¬ 
dence that this count was absolutely exact, made 
good use of their time and enjoyed one of those 
fish gorges for which nature has fitted them. 
They ate all the fish off one side of the boat 
with such good results that they emptied it, and 
when the last herring had been removed from 
the side it was like the last straw that broke the 
camel’s back, for the boat, with all the weight 
on the other side, upset, dumping the remainder 
of the catch into the water.—New York Fishing 
Gazette. 
AN ENGLISH VIEW. 
T he duck shooting season for the spring of 
1907 in America is now over, says the London 
County Gentleman, but the sport has not been so 
good as usual. There are those who account for I 
this decline by the statement that the shooting 
of wildfowl in spring is killing the goose that 
lays the golden egg, a proverb that is not in- , 
appropriate to the killing of ducks when they 
are about to rear new broods. In some States 
of America spring duck shooting is forbidden by 
law, but in others where there is little or none j 
in the autumn, gunners insist on being allowed 
to shoot ducks in spring. They are compara¬ 
tively a small number, however, and their con¬ 
sent to deny themselves spring shooting would 
very greatly improve American autumn duck 
shooting everywhere, for which there is each 
succeeding year greater room.
