THE QUOTATIONS A&OVI ARt PO* ?mHEOIATt SHIPMENT, ?W9i ^ TUB GUIXS KNEW Dark Shadows In Green Depths Meant Food Fop Them. I In the wealth of' stranae secrets that the sea is giving up now when the finder h off the lips Qf sailing men, none la I- gore stranee an grewaotne than'the "Sea flnll Mystery," another "Ancient Mariner and the Albatrosp" theme, fit to rival in irose-fact the epic poem of Coleridge, mts Llovd Seaman, in the February Pop tlar Mechanics Marine. British and American sailors, engaged b antisubmarine warfare, were puzzled for months by tho strange actions of : ? great flocks of white tea guile coursing io definite and queer paths over the water a few feet above the surface. Ev ery day the men. on the destroyers saw these flocks of gulls, and finally th*e com manding officer of one of. the British patrol* had au inspiration. He steamed close to the head of the flock, cut across its path and loosed a half dozen depth bombs, timed to explode at different depths. There was a w$Id frothing of the waves, and a few minutes later oil, babbles, and finally wreckage and corpses from a U-boat came to the surface, The secret was ourt. t The sea gulls, after two years of experience, had learn ed that the long, dark shadow in the freen. depths meant food, that they had tnly to follow it, and sooner or later human bodies would fall to their carrion appeties, so frequent were the sinkings of steamers, the loss of lives; and the ^ scattering of the ships* larders over the 1 waves, that it is not at all wonderful that birds of the peculiar shrewdness ? that characterizes? all ? carriori species should have learned to associate the idea of food with th<? U -boat's appcarancc. Everything about the U-boat spelled carrion for large numbers of the submer sible* themselves were destroyed by allied depth bombs and the German corpses left io float to the surface and be devoured hy the hungry birds. The sea gullar of eoursc, easily perceived the submarines, 1 mattor what/ their d^tl!7~exactly as British and American naval airmen* coult^ detect them, by virtue of the roecial . clearness which the water assumed when ?een from an elevation directly above lV submerged object. ^he depth botribs, which the seaplane ^ lighters and the allied destroyers drop ped, nerved to furnish the gulls with a *till larger source of food, namely stun ned lish. In waters close to the British I*?les. however, the fishermen, venturing ?>ut in steam trawlers, gave tho birds battle for the fish. This easy method 1 of obtaining a gigantic haul of fish was highly profitable to the English, Welsh, } and Scottish fishermen. Government Seed Distribution.
