Show Followed Her Vanished Nest. This story of a thrush that missed, and caught its train comes from Lima-vady, Lima-vady, in Ulster, Ireland. The bird hat. built its nest under a first-class carriage car-riage immediately over the steam heating heat-ing pipe, and notwithstanding that the carriage traveled between Limava.dy and Londonderry, the nest contained four eggs. The institution of the summer service serv-ice of trains caused trouble. The carriage car-riage left Londonderry in the evening at 4:40 instead of 4:50, and when the mother thrush, who had presumably been on a foraging expedition, returned, re-turned, she found carriage, nest and eggs had disappeared. She was noticed no-ticed at Londonderry in apparent distress, dis-tress, and the station master apprised Limavady of the circumstances and asked the railway people there to look out for the bird, suggesting that she would probably arrive by . the next "rain. The bird duly arrived at Limavady Lima-vady either by train or air and re-Bumed re-Bumed her task of hatching the eggs. The sympathetic railway officials have decided to withdraw the carriage from service pending the hatching of the eggs. |
