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 had 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 Limavady 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 train. The bird duly, arrived at Limavady Lima-vady either by train or air and resumed re-sumed her task of hatching the eggs. The sympathetic railway officials have decided to withdraw the carriage from service pending the hatching of the eggs. |
