animals for the zoo when 1 went on board a freight ship at a western port tho animals had only to endure about a week more of a voyage that had lasted the best part of six months on the deck there was a row of wooden cases into which the animals fitted like eggs in a crate tigers pan thers kangaroos and a lioness it was summertime and partly to shade them in their confined quarters and partly to screen them from tho activi ties of tho ship there were awnings of sacking hung before the bars that imprisoned these panting captives from tho open plains of australia and tho fragrant jungles of india tho bulk of the animals were in a compartment that was below the deck and yet above tho water line i dent know what the technical term is for that part of a vessel but as i camo down a long passageway and paused at tho entrance to this place i caw that a section of tho ships side was withdrawn to allow a flood of light and air to do what it could with a prison which had long been in dark ness i looked around and although tho place was full of living things there was not a single sound except the lapping of tho water outside tho atmosphere was charged with such mute and hopeless misery that 1 could not help thinking of the slave ships of olden days all tho smaller animals of the anti podes were huddled in tho boxes that lined tho walls but many empty cages testified to tho toll that death had taken among tho more delicate spe cies a few wallabies wombats and bandicoots still lay supine on their grubby doles of straw but 1 did not seo any koala bears ilf there had been any they had not borne the trials of that suffocating dungeon in a corner a valuable and raro par rot tho last of an original six clung drooping and unhappy to his perch tho snakes lay motionless in their glass cases and it is so difficult to tell when a snake is miserable that i could not make out how they were facing the situation mentally physi cally they had proved hardier than cither tho birds nr the animals and had come through the voyage beter than anything else in the shipment excepting tho tortoises tiny turtles or terrapin i dont know which the wholo of the barrel that contained tbem seemed alive with the swarming mass crawling all over and under each other with complete unconcern and a total indifference to the un pleasantness of their condition tho birds were separato from the animals how many of them there had originally been in tho tightly packed cages that filled the cabin which had been converted to their uso it was impossible to judge their number was greatly reduced by this time although there still seemed to be several hundred too many of the brilliant little creatures in so inade quate a space here again there was dreadful sil ence this time it seemed even more striking because many of the birds were naturally songsters in their na tive forests and even birds that do not sing are seldom completely dumb undqr ordinary bearable circum stances they are always associated with a wealth of little twittering sounds and fluttering movement in that cabin thero was only stillness and the hush of life that has lost in terest in living every now and then the cagedoors were opened and tho dead removed from among tho clus tered rows of feathers that crouched on tho perches or littered the floors of tho boxes with orange and gold and scarlot with yellow and green and blue as i went up the companiouway later i happened to meet the man who was in chargo of this living and in some eases priceless freight ho appeared on tho verge of falling to pieces and if
