Swooping down from the clouds, a large cuglc attacked a. five-year-old girl playing in a field at Manoa, near Philadelphia, U.S.A. Only just in time the bird was shot and killed by the child’s father, John Trout. 'The child was running about the field when the eagle, circling overhead, darted towards her. She ran screaming towards her mother, and both called to Trout, who ran from his home with a shotgun. The eagle was then close to the child and poised for a plunge. Trout fired with both barrels, and the bird was killed. It had wing spread of seven feet.
