After having discharged her cargo of groin, she was placed la a dry dock, altnated In the middle of a large ship-repairing establishment, with all the usual accompaniment of noise from pneumatic hammers, steam whistles, shouting of men, and other nuiscs common to all such work*. The grain, of which there U always a good deal left abont after the holds are swept up. attracted the sparrows In large numbers, and. os If guided by Instinct, they commenceu to build nest* In various parts of the ahlp. Undeterred by the noise pr by the constant going and coming of the workmen, they reared their broods before the repairs were completed, and the vessel sailed. Thl* Is believed to be a unique case, for although the sparrow Is a bold bird. It needed some pluck to undertake home building In such circumstances.
