MY “FOUL HOOKED” 
MUSK1E EXPERIENCE 
(continued from page 475) 
underside of its body. Just at that time 
a native angler was within calling distance, 
and at my request came to my assistance. 
He suggested I should work the fish to¬ 
wards his boat, and no sooner had I fol¬ 
lowed his advice than he reached over with 
a quick movement placed his thumb and 
finger in the monster’s eye-sockets, lifting 
the fish bodily from the water. It took but 
little time to rescue the gaff and dispatch 
the fish. Its length was sixty-one inches, 
and it proved to be the banded species, 
“Lucius Ohiensis.” 
THE STARLING, A QUESTIONABLE 
VISITOR TO AUSTRALIA NOW 
Introduced into Australia from Britain 
for no particular reason along with other 
varieties of birds, the starling has flour¬ 
ished and multiplied exceedingly. Speaking 
for my own state of Victoria, it began by 
being a benefactor, and is likely to end by 
being a curse. 
Fifteen or twenty years ago almost every 
alternate summer brought its plague of 
grasshoppers, that devoured every green 
thing and were the despair of fruit grow¬ 
ers and agriculturist; today the song of 
the grasshopper is a small, sad noise in the 
land. The starling has eaten him, and 
continues to eat him in such few places in 
which he still periodically shows up. Dur¬ 
ing the wet months starlings live mainly on 
insects and cause little trouble, but when 
the sun has baked the ground to almost 
the hardness of stone the hungry bird turns 
to the ripening fruit and plays Hades with 
it. This is increasingly a fruit-growing 
country, and the starling must be dealt with 
if the grower is to make the money he is 
entitled to make.—J. M. Allan, in The 
American Shooter.
