CASH-IN A CROCODILE- Dporteman Found "l‘wenty-flve Seven Elgns in its Stomach V A Natal (South Africa) reader of "Rod and Gun"’sends the following clipping with reference to the finding bf twenty-five sovereigns inside a crocodile. V"Three Johannesburg sportsmen, - Messrs, Godfrey De Villiers, .s. s. fichleyer, and F. Hind, while hunting for water buck recently on the banks of the Kom‘ati River in Swaziland shot a crocodile and on opening it found to their amazement twenty-five sover- eigns, in additiOn to eight heels of deceased bush buck, a quantity of stiff hair, a number of stones, etc. Three of. the sovereigns were-Kruger- coins, and the remainder were of the Queen Victoria design. The latest date of any 'one of them was 1903, and therefore it was permissible 16% {the hunters to assume that they had been inside the crocodile for at least : ten years. The theory was further borne out by the fact that the crawl- ing treasure trove was an old male of fully twelve feet in length, while the surest guide of all was the fact that the sovereigns were considerably worn, the milling on the edges having completely disappéared. it ’1: sur- mlsed by admits that the coins Were unaltected by gastric Juices, but that the stones alongside which they were round must hallo rubbed the: edges away in the. course 01 years. - “The manager of the Standard Bash, Johannesburg, .who examined the, coins. stated that" the "rubbing of" which they had been subjected to had} reduced their value to aboutfld shil~l ling: each. However, the flrer of the firstahot. Mr. De Villiers, was made some pretty good offers for the coins. One of the coins was presented to the owner of the land upon which the, animal was shot. A “Possibly someone Who was walk-i in; along the banks or through the: river was attacked by the 'croe’ and eaten. It may have been some uh- fortunate native who was making his wy home having garnered the coin by labor on the Rand, or it may have been a white man with money in his belt who was hauled on his horse ~ while crossing the stream. ....-. . u. -._....... ._._.._......;._..- l. i i g I Pollltry ‘Food‘ , .mvalueotgrainsaspoultxyfood, and which they relish the best, are: wheat, oats, corn, barley and buck- ‘wheat.
