and his shooting companion Peter Seidel are back again, safe and sound, in Shanghai. After engaging in a hazardous Woosung in a sampan and in half a gale and subsequently enduring an uncomfortable 20 minutes with their respec fathers, both are as fit as fiddles. The fates were kind to these stranded mariners and potential Robinson Crusoes.
The two youths left Shanghai early on November 10 with the intention of shooting game somewhere in the vicinity of Woosung. They started off in a motor car with the full knowledge of their parents. "Timothy" is the son of Mr. G. H. Charleton of the A-P.C. and "Peter" is the son of Mr. A. C. Seidel of Messrs. Seidel & Ca., a respected German firm. They are chums and are no mean exponents with sporting guns. Many are the bags they have collected in company.
The trip to Woosung in the car was uneventful but arriving at Woosung they found that half a gale was blowing ang the sess accordingly were not all that might desired for a sampan trip.
They had considerable difficulty in persuading a sampan man to put out from shore, the intention being to reach a spot where good shooting was a certainty. They never reached this ideal spot.
