“Shooting Story”
Usually it is a fishing story that holds the crowd on the workers’ trains, a story of some wonderful fish that has been hooked and then unfortunately lost. Sometimes even the fish was caught. But the latest is a shooting story straight from the Waikato River (states the Star). It is of a sportsman who shot four ducks with the first burrel. He calmly says that he watched four ducks fly overhead, saw them get into line above, and, taking a careful sight, brought the four birds down, all four falling in quick succession. This was told in a crowded carriage, and then there was dead silence.
