Show Duel to the Death Between Two Ducks The story of a duel between two ducks on a woodland lake near Water-town, Water-town, N. Y., was told by a resident of Watitrtown, N. Y. The duel was carried out In two encounters on successive days. On the first day, one duck was wounded and sank, but came to the surface later and recovered. The next day the battle bat-tle was resumed and again the defeated de-feated duck sank beneath the surface. The victor dived beneath the surface, brought the defeated duck to the top and held its head above water. Other ducks, apparently in the hope the duck would revive, aided in keeping the wounded bird above the surface. The life-saving methods proved unavailing, and the dead bird finally was abandoned. |
