Homeless Men Glad to Find Stray Ducks' Eggs Any morning before the rush traffic has begun you may see the homeless ones who sleep on the London embankment embank-ment walking slowly along, peering over the parapet at the steps and landings. They are looking for ducks' eggs. I was walking past the air force war memorial (writes a correspondent) correspond-ent) when I saw two ducks perched on one of the steps just above high-water high-water mark. Between them lay a beautiful new-laid egg. I climbed over the low railing and retrieved the egg. As I was clambering clamber-ing back a seedy looking embankment habitue accosted me. "You've pinched my breakfast, guv-nor," he complained. I gnve him the egg. nnd he explained that he had found a half dozen eggs on the same steps during a fortnight. New York World.
