MOURNFUL CRY

THE PELICAN AT THE FEAST -་

This is what happened beside the lake at St. James' Park, in Lon- don. An army of experts 'equip ped with a microphone, a telephone and some fish, went there to re- cord "the mournful cries of sea- gulla" for a wireless play, and after two Icy hours were reduced to uttering mournful cries them Belves.

The seagulls declined to be gull- ed. They circled aloofly round in the sky, above the lake, and aneer- ed scornfully..

George at the Feast

You should have seen the ex- perts' faces when the pelicans, led by their venerable chief, George, swam over from their island and waddled ashore and got to work on the fish! The pelicans slid the stuff down their huge beaks and through their throats, with joyful wrigglings of the neck.

One of the experts even went so far as to shake a frozen fist at them.

But the pelicans lingered on. And so did the ruddy sheldrakes, the cormorants, the pigeons, the sparrows, and the other uninvited guests.
