He pitched bio “loo” in amongst the ducks, so to •peak, and proceeded to scatter his golden corn broadcast wi hin gunshot around the lagoon. The ducks ba:l a big time while the mane lasted, and waxed fat but by no means lazy ; they kept the inuseles of their wings in good trim, and notwithstanding the “sport” had engaged several Maoris to shoot for him. guns and ammunition provided, he failed to fill his b >at with game.
