the “starch” out of me and I missed the 
next two shots in succession. 
After quite an interval of waiting, I 
saw a large flock of ducks enter the pond 
by the Creek from “Nigger House Cove”; 
they dropped in the eastern end and began 
swimming and feeding my way. As they 
came closer I saw they were sheldrakes, 
some twenty or more. They would dart 
through the water like fishes, sometimes 
they would all be under at once, and they 
surely made the water fly. They came on 
swiftly and soon were in range. As they 
dove again, I rose and covered the place 
where I expected them to appear. They 
came up well bunched, and I shot where 
the heads were thickest; for an instant the 
water was covered with flapping ducks. A 
few rose and I cut one down with my sec¬ 
ond barrel, the others dove and vanished, 
leaving behind four on their backs with 
feet feebly kicking. How many I crippled 
will never be shown, but I bagged four. 
I shot with fair success, and at noon had 
thirteen head. The Ortley house was but 
a short distance from my blind and in plain 
view. On the western slope of the roof 
was a “scuttle,” and I was much amused 
during the day to observe the Miller chil¬ 
dren watching me shoot. Their heads 
would stick through the opening for all the 
world like young “flickers” from their 
nest. It was a general observatory and 
very little shooting was done without their 
knowledge and, doubtless, their criticism. 
The shooting was much poorer in the 
afternoon, but about three o’clock three 
ducks came in high, and circling, lit near 
the center of the pond. Here they swam 
around, and fed for a long time, just out 
of range, paying no attention to the de¬ 
coys. At last they bunched close together, 
and believing they would come no nearer, 
I decided to try them, giving the gun con¬ 
siderable elevation, I pulled the trigger, 
and greatly to my astonishment killed two. 
As the other took flight I covered it quickly 
with my second barrel, and it fell dead 
after flying a short distance. This I be¬ 
lieve to be one of the best long shots made 
by me in all my years of duck shooting. 
As I gathered the three ducks, I found 
them to be beautiful birds, but unknown to 
me. Bill Miller called them “whistlers” 
and it was not until years afterward that I 
knew I had killed three Gadwalls. 
J UST as the sun went down I saw the 
stocky form of Mike coming across the 
meadow. As he came near he called, 
“How many did ye git ?” When I told him 
nineteen, he fairly danced a jig. “I seen 
ye knockin’ ’em,” he said, “didn’t I tell ye 
you’d git ’em?” 
With Mike carrying the ducks and I the 
“stool,” we started for the house, and as 
we crossed the creek at the landing just at 
dusk, the rest of our party arrived in their 
sneak boxes. Mike immediately sang out, 
“Henry, I’ll bet you a good cigar Neil has 
killed more ducks than any one of ye.” 
“Done,” said father, and great was Mike’s 
rejoicing when the birds were counted, and 
it was found that I led the best man by 
four birds. 
It was a very happy boy who sat in front 
of the roaring fire after supper that night.
