"WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1932.
10,000 PIGEONS LOST
IN FIERCE GALE.
"Fanciers Released Birds For Flight
CAUGHT OVER CHANNEL.
Amsterdam, August 10.
An unexpected consequence of a terrific
storm ... - which' suddenly swept over the English Channel, is the death of some ten thousand valuable carrier pigeons.
The English pigeon fanciers clubs had organiséd a big flight over the Channel, and to this end had sent off thousands of carrier pigeons, practically all of which perished..
The value of the English pigeons killed is estimated at about three
and a half million marks, among the largest losers being Lord Lonsdale.
Some 650 carrier pigeons from Berlin also took part in the event, and of them only 50 have been re-
covered.

This is the plain story of the most remarkable young man in Britain. His name is Arthur Macnamara. He is thirty-two years of age. His boyhood and youth were passed in the shadow of the workhouse and real starvation. At the age of thirty-two and within a period of eight years — he has founded the largest manu- facturing firm of Its kind on £48 savings, and developed it until re- cently he declared a profit for the year of £190,000, writes C. A. Lyon in the "Sunday Express."
