The Flight of the
2 Herring Gull
OBBY'S first notion of the world
was blue sky, thin, narrow
colored blades of grass that
eternally whispered in the wind, and
birds—big white birds that floated
like little clouds within the circle of
hig ken, and floated out of it again.
His next notlon was of his home,
a bunch of any old rubbish that could
be picked up and made into a little
heap. It mattered not to him, though,
for he was never to know what the
wopd “nursery’ or ‘“home” meant
fram that hour of his birth. It was
as if Nature had doomed hips to wan
der always, from the time he left the
egg till he died,
His next impression was of the
preken eggshell whence he had but
just come, and of the two other egz
shells eclose beside him whence
Rig hrother and «ister waond "o
doubt, in due time emerge, if his
neighbors didn't eat ‘em in the mean
while.
Then he begame aware of his
father's head—huge, it seemed to him
—peering down at him over the edge
of the nest; and with that view still
in his brain—that spotless white head
and neck, and those eyes cold as the
sea, the mighty voice of which he
could hear—he snuggled down and
went to sleep.
Clobby was a herring-gull.
His next notion of the world was
pitch darkness, and a goft warmth—
the soft warmth of his mother's
breast. But he poked his head out
side between the feathers, and saw
darkness there too, peppered as to
the top with pin-pricks of light—
darkness and silence broken only by
the grumhle of the sea.

awoke suddenly to the blast of a
chill air and pale light. Dawn was
rushing up from the east, and all
around soundéd the strange, weird
laughter of the gulls. He couldn’t
see them because of the grase.
His mother had just got up, and
was standing beside the nest, preens
ing her snowy-white underparts and
gray mantle:
Then suddenly she cried, “How!
How!"” and began to run, calling out
to him to follow; and in the sudden
excitement, not knowing what he
was doing—as, with the roar of ap
election crowd, hundreds upon hun
dreds of gulls rose all about him—
he picked himself up, and, with
hea«f turning this way and that, high
on outstretciled neck, ran, blundering
blindly, after her.
He could see her because she, save
for another white and black figure
farther away, which was his father,
was the only gull on the ground. All
the rest were in the alr, weaving
and circling wonderfully above his
head, shrieking at him in wild ex
eitement and uproar. It seemed as
if they were all yelling at him to
gether, “Run, kid, run!”—and he ré&n
like a thing in a dream.
Then the shrieks rose to a wild
erepcendo, and his father, hurling
himself aloft, came diving back to

his mother, opening her wings like
some great butterfly, began to cry
out almost like a thing that is hurt,
and for the first time he realized that
he was running away from & forbid
ding shape that wag behind and fol
lowing him. And the shape, dark
and furry, and to him huge, was that
of a roaming wolfish collie dog.
He ran on and on, one eye on the
collle dog and the other on hig moth
er, passing rabbit-holes—for the
ground was pitted with them where
it wasn't pimpled with gull's nests—
until he tumbled right ahead over
heels into one, and promptly scuttled
well in out of reach, as if he had
been at the game for years.
For a few minutes he lay panting
and throbbing, absolutely helpless, so
utterly done that it seemed as if his
little heart were going to break, He
could hear the dog sniffing and sob
bing and seratching and tearing at
the mouth of the hole, The dog re
moved his body finally, letting in a
little faint daylight and the cries of
gulls and some fresh salt-laden alir,
and then the bahy gull went to sleep.
A very long time passed before the
light at the mouth of the hole was
obscured again. Thwou}x‘ gull, well
out of reach, open one eye and
watched, till he saw, in the circle
framed by the earth, an unmistakahle

low-green beak nobody would trust,
even If it hadn’t had the red seal,
like blood, on the end of the upper
mandible.
There was food In that beak-—one
could see it glisten—and of course
Cobby did not want telling what it
was for. This was no collle dog
now, but his revered father, and he
hurried out to feed accordingly.
F'rom where he sat, at the mouth of
his hole, he could have seen, if he had
troubled his head about it, his mother
sitting upon the nest to hatch out the
two other eggs. But he had no inter
est in home now. «le¢ had already, in
fact, begun that life of wandering
that he wag born for.
His father ram forward and rose
and departed in due course, sailing
wonderfully upon long wings, and
(‘obby dozed in the sunshine, opening
one or hoth eyes occasionally, when
the shadow of another gull, passing
unusually near, crossed his head. For
the rest, he siept, and ate what his
father brought him, and, as darkness
flung her cloak over the scene, retired
into the hole as if it were his own,
In a way, too, it was, for as the
days passed and his strength grew
with his body, and feathers began to
sprout, he took to arguing with the
proper owners about their right of
way, and ane night got hold of a
nacein~ rakhit hv the leg and would

have hung on if the rabbit had not
kicked like fury to get away because
of the stoai that was following be
hind. (obby, when he turned his
head, found himself looking straight
into the cruel eyes of the stoat.
That, probably, would have been his
Jast impression of things earthly if he
had not cried out and brought his fa
ther, who must have been sleeping
quite close, down upen the place like
an enraged ghost Fn the moonlight,
to say nething of the rising and
clamor of a few dozen othep gulls be
sides,
A stoat is a butcher not to be toler
ated in the live condition when baby
gulls are scattered about all over the
place, and Cobby saw this proved next
dawn, when that same stoat left that
precise rabbit warren foolishly to go
home inland, and was literally bat
tered to death hy the united enraged,
vast, whirling, white cloud of the en
tire gull colony and their lesser cous
ins, the terns or sea swallows.
Days passed, and weeks, and he
grew, attended always at intervals by
his father or mother, who had now
two other baby gulls poked away in
different rabbit holes near by to at
tend to, 3 >
This rabbit hole billeting-out habit
may have had something else in it
than mere innate nomad WAYS,
thonegh, At any rate, upon more than
one occasion a grown-up gull, not of |
the same species, came and hovered
so' cloge above him, and with such a
guggestive, hungry look in its eyes
that he edged back into his burrow,
8o Cobby spent his days, till his
feathers had grown, and his father,
alighting beside the hole one day
without food, called him forth.
He did not know that this cali
would set him a-wandering again. He
only knew that his father brought no
visible food, but called as if he had
some, and Cobby accordingly fol
lowed.
It wag an amazing procession, his
father, and often his mother, going
ahead, and calling Cobby, who seemed
to be gmitten with an amazing genius
for going the wrong way. It was
more amazing, however, because all.
around him were other gulls doing
the same thing—leading their big,
gawky young along in the same di
rection, and all the young were just
as utter fools as Cobby. s ]
At last they came down to the sea,
and the reason for this strange pro
cession of young gulls who couldn't
fly, and thelr parents, who could, was
clear.
Cobby launched into the sea—may
even have been thrust in-—and dis
covered he could swim. This made
him so excited that he got out too far,
with the result that a great, whisk
