CAPTAIN SCOTT'S SON
A Friend of the Birds Captain Scott's son, Mr. Peter Scott, is living in an old English lighthouse near the mouth of the River Nene in the neighbourhood of the "Wash. His home is. perhaps the best spot of 5 - all from which to study the wild-fowl he loves to paint. It is one of a pair] of lighthouses built a century ago to guide shipping to the Sutton Bridge Dock,
and it stands amid marsh and meadow where wild-fowl are found in thousands. Mr. Sco.tt keeps many birds in temporary captivity, their spacious wire pens covering a large area of the marsh. Among his captives are birds from Scotland, and 15 he took home from Hungary. There are two red-breasted geese with gorgeous plumage. Redbreasted geese were once natives of England, and Mr. Scott is hoping to persuade these beautiful birds to remain iu Britain.
