THIRD TIME LUCKY
FISH CATCHING A BIRD. From Australia comes a talc of a fish catching a bird. A fishing party on a launch in the Gulf of Carpentaria, opposite Crabb Island, were idly watching small fish jumping out of an unusually calm sea to escape bigger fish. Gulls, seeing the chance of an easy supper, were hovering in the air, swooping down from time to time and. catching one of the small fry. Then, all at once, the watchers saw something which made them catch their breath with excitement. Out ot the water leapt a huge kingfish, straight after a gull. Twice it missed its prey, but at the third leap it seized the gull and dragged it triumphantly under.
