TWO ARCTIC HAWKS
On the Fourth of .Inly. 1VW. in a
broad level valley in the heart of Kites
mere Land, I came upon a herd of live
musk oxen. When they saw n.s they
ran together and gtood back to back
in star form, with head- outwards.
This is their Uhiiul method «>f defense
against walrus, their >mly enemies in
this land. After they were shot 1
doscovered two tiny calves, which till
then had been hidden under tlieir
mother's long hair.
Such funny little coa! black creatures
they were, with a gray patch on their
foreheads, great, soft black eyes,
enoromusly large, bony knock kneed
legs and no tails at all.
With the falling of the last musk ox
my dogs made a rush for the little ani-
mals which, though wide-eyed and
trembling with fear, showed a bold
front to the savage unknown crea-
tures which surrounded them For-
tunately I was too quick for the dogs
and rescued the little fellows.
Then I hardly knew what to do. 1
had not the heart to kill them myself
nor tell my Eskimos to. Finally I
thought I would try and get them to
the shin, fifty miles away, though I
did not know how 1 was to do thif over
th" miles of mountains and rough ice
After the (loifs were fastened the
Utile fellows stood (juicily by the boil
iea of their mothers till ail the animals
were skinned and cut up; but when we
were ready to start for camp, and put
a line about their necks to lead them
away, they struggled so violently at
the touch of the rope that I knew they
would soon strangle themselves to
death, and had the ropes taken off.
Then we tried to drive them, but could
not. Then I remembered by experi-
ence years before at far-olT Independ-
ence Bay, and told Ahngiualoktok t<>
throw one of the musk ox skins over
his back tind walk oft'.
With a baa-a-a the little fellows
were at his heels In an Instant, and
with noses buried in the long hair
trailing behind bit i followed content-
edly, while the rest of is kept off the
dogs.
In this way everything went nicely,
and we scrambled along over the rocks,
waded across two or three streams and
walked through an cr.quisltely soft,
green little patch of meadow, "tit by
a gurgling crystal brook, until we
reached the ice boat where tbs sledge
had been left. From Robert IC Peary's

turning messengers. Well, he w\Mit
this time because lie couldn't help it;
but his cunning played a tine triek on
his new owners. This bird was taken
jooo miles by land to San Francisco;
tiuMJi miles by water to the liawaii.
thence *«KJ4(i miles by water to the
Sanioau Islands, thence HIimi miles by
water to Auckland in all nearly sihmi
miles, and now Pete is at home :iu:in!
The home-coming of tin* bird is lit-
tle short of marvelous, and this is how
he accomplished It Watching care-
fully for an opportunity to escape,
after landing at Auckland, Pete took
to his wings, and finding in the har-
bor the vessel which had carried him
so far from home, lie radiated from
its masts in every direction searching
for a familiar scene or object, which,
of course, be could not liiul s.i many
thousand miles away from Ins Ameri-
can dove-cote However, he stayed
near the ship, perhaps thinking it
would return to America: but when
the vessel finally steamed out, herded
for Australia instead of the t inted
States, Pete deserted his perch and
struck out straight toward In* home
land. So it happened that the I.ucy
Belle, an old-fashioned sailing vessel
laden with lumber from tlio Sauioan
l*les, when three days from Christmas
Island, was boarded by an almost ex
luitistcd stranger; and the stranger w:is
nobody in the world but Mr. Pete.
As the old sailor is a ver> superstitious
being. Pete was welcomed amid eri"s
of wonder at encountering a homing
pigeon i i the middle of the Pacific
Ocean, at'd was allowed to ride wher-
ever he rhosr on -hipboard. Tie bird
was kindly treated and fed and one
day. during a storm which frightened
'lim and drove the little tramp to shel-
ter 01 deck, it was diseoveied that lie
carried a small tag on one leg, bearing
a number and his name, lie was
placed in a box with slats for bars,
and i.! this condition came into San
Frfauclscn Hay with the l.ucy H'dle.
just as happy at sight of land as any
member of the cretv, who considered
him r mascot.
The story of the I.tr\v Belle's mas-
cot soon spread among the shipfolk
along the wharves, and in a few hours
Pete was identified as having been
shipped some weeks before for Auck
land. Then it was that the p**ople un-
derstood that the crafty fellow was
homeward bound.
All this is wonderful enough: but
the fact that Pete reached home un-
aided over 20110 miles of' laud route Is.
perhaps, only less wonderful. Hut lie
did.
It was argued on the I.ucy Heile iliat
a bird possessing a Inain wise eiiouuli
to figure out an ocean voy.-iue •■ott'il
reach his home nil laud; and after - tine
debate the sailors securely fastened a
little story to Pete's leg, reciting his
i adventures so far as known to them
and turned him loose. Mow the dear
little wanderer found his waj home he
alone can tell.
It took Pete nine days to travel tin'
20H0 miles, in covering which, of
course, he must have stopped often;
for, If he could have gone straight
home, the distance could have been
made in thirty or forty hours. We who
had sent him off to Australia had not
the slightest idea that he was this side
of the equator, or of the world, when,
one morning, not long ago. .Mr 1'cti;

Now, what do you think of him?
He will never be sent away again,
for there is not sufficient money at the
disposal of any one man to secure biir.
If you know of any girls or boys
who are discontented at home, show
them this story of Pete, who so loved
his liumbic abode of rough board and
hard straw flint he outwitted cunning
men and dotted the risks and hardships
of an SOOO-tnile journey over *■ a and
