That, of course, is the normal history in which balls are found within a hook or a slice n a mendow in which the game of gol is played, and it is therefore, by no means dimcult to account for their situation. But how are we to account for the discovery of an excellent ball-white, round, and apparently playable on the slopes of a hill 300 feet inland, on the island of Nukususutok, a few miles to seaward of the village of Nain, in

Northern Labrador? If the Ander-a British surveyor-had had & orassy with him instead of a theodolite he might have had good crack at it; for the lle was perfect. "How did it get there?

The possible theory that lost balls-march to the coast and swim out to sea like the rats of Norway does not seem at all reasonable, although where they get to is always a mystery.

Not until we have consulted Mr. Seton Gordon.
