Clive Hall is half 'n and half out.of ci„klunter /ark I let at Hove, England.-,A guard ,hod to pull the ,adVenttkous youngster out of the exhaust vent. The plane was displayed foe-public inspection. • start, which had promised to, be on time, was delayed, and" all the while, with the thunder get- ting nearer, St. Amant was get- ting more fidgety. At last there came a brief mo- ment when the horsei were all level and facing the same way. The starter acted quickly. As he sent the field away there was a sudden tremendous peal of thunder immediately overhead. Gouvernant, the favourite, was stupefied by the noise, and re- mained standing at the starting line for some secondi before his jockey was able to bring him to life and start him off on what was already a hopeless chase. With St. Amant, however, the effect was reversed. Had that peal come a second earlier he might have jumped into the tapes and become dangerously enmeshed. As it was, he saw the open course in front of him, and leaped away as though stung by a many-tailed whip. In no time he was clear of the field, and the gap steadily wid- ened. For a time it seemed that Coxswain, the 100-1 outsider, would be his nearest challenger, but with a mile to go St. Am- ant's lead was two lengths, with Lancashire, another outsider, and John. O'Gaunt next in the field. More thunder, now accom- panied by vivid flashes of light- ning, helped to give St. Amant any incentive he needed to get - away from his rivals, and com- ing up to. Tattenham Corner he was already three, lengths ahead and the race was Obviously over. All real excitement had now vanished, but although only a few people were aware of it, another Derby Day drama was being played out farther along the course. A ,policeman had been keeping an eye on a- book- maker who had been offering far more attractive prices than his rivals. He turned away to watch the race, and when he looked back the bookie and 'this clerk were a couple of hundred yards away and running fast, The constable immediately be- gan the chase and, with the crowd taking up the cry of "Welsher," scores joined in the hunt. The clerk was caught when he stumbled, and when he faced the magistrates next day was sent to jail for a month. But the welshirige book-Maker, like St Amant, was never caught. While, all this was going on, Cannon, ,all Amant's jockey, was having ad easy' tide' home, his chief task being to prevent his mount bolting when the thunder rolled arid the lightning flashed. He was content to maintain his three-lengthe lead over 'John • o' Gaunt, who in turn finished six lengths in frorit of St. Denis.. Ironically, the storm passed as quickly as it had broken. There was a last roll, as though to give encouragement, as St. Antant neared the post. Theri„ Mixable- lonely, the rain ceased, and, by the time the horses returned to th: paddock the°"sun Was shining. St, Ainaiit'e easy victory Was One , of the rare odcasions on the Winning, jockey has' riot had to use his whip. It was, in feet, only the second time Derby dell had led from Start to finish. And it is a not-very-long- adds bet that it was the first time thinider and lightning had acted as a spur to the winner.

The time for sleepy, relaxed sunbathing is when the chil- dren are safely in the cottage having a rest, not playing on the dock. Rode Crocodiie , Like Bronco The famous explorer wanted to find, out exactly how poiseri left a snak'e's fangs. So • he "de- cided on a daring experiment. He found a snake, an d eight- Looter, in 'the jungle, seized it by the neck so tightly that it couldn't ,bite „him, held• a piece of stick against the, tipof elts fangs and ,watched, ,;fascinated, as the, deadly venom pond Out, as he described. it, ,"thick' and yellow like chamomile tea." Even to-day large areas of tropical South America are little known to the white maw,: and 150 years ago only the coastal fring- es had been explored. That ex- plorer — Charles Waterton — was one of the first white men to penetrate into the heart of the, steaming South American jungle. From his earliest years natural history had been an absorbing, passion, and his one ambition was to be able to explore some little-known part of the world in order to find out something about its animal and plant life. In 1812 he achieved his am- bition, when he set sail for Brit- ish Guiana at the age of thirty. Not for eleven—years was he to return to his native land, and during This time he travelled enormous distances and penetrat- ed 'deeply into the inhospitable interior of the vast and at that time little-known continent. For three years after his re- turn he worked on the notes he had made during his long ab- sence, finally producing in 1826 one of the first classics of nat- ural history exploration, "Wan- derings In South America." Waterton was gifted with great courage and a cool nerve. He was, too, a 'shrewd observer of the ways of wild creatures. How true were his observations on how to avoid danger in a land teeming with dangerous animals! "Time and experience," he wrote "have convinced me that there is not much danger in rov- ing amongst snakes and wild beasts provided only that you have self-command. You must never approach them abruptly! If so, you are sure 'to pay for your rashness, because the idea of self-defence is predomihant in every animal, and thus the snake, always ready to defend himself from what he considers an attack upon him, makes the intruder feel the deadly effect of his poisonous fangs. "The jaguar flies at you and knocks you senseless with a stroke of his paw, whereas if you had not come upon him whereas,, suddenly, it is ten to, one but that he had retired in lieu of disput- ing the path with yeti," During his long stay in South America, Waterton experienced Many adventures, none more remarkable than the capture of a full grown ,caiman, or croco- dile, With his bare hands. His native serVahts had caught a specimen 'nearly eleven feet long MERRY MENAGERIE "The playing Cops bed Robbers,, and naturally risit the robber l" Via* riitii•401iii: an g large meat-baited, „hQ9k on the end of a ions OPP, crocodile was ferociously' angry and, the terrified natives wanted to kill it, But Waterton Was arnc- tons to take it alive. He walked up and down the sand for some time, wondering, how this could be done, Finally, he hit upon a plan. Taking the mast out 9f a. canoe he wrapped a sail round one end Of it, "It ape Peered clear to me," he wrote af- terWatds,."that if I' went down upon one knee and held the mast in the same position as the sol- dier holds his bayonet, L could force it down the caiman's throat should he come open-mouthed at me." Plunging Into the water, he ordered his helpers to pull the caiman towards the shore while he went down on one knee to steady himself against the pos- sible onslaught. Even he was forced to observe that he "felt somewhat uncom- fortable in this situation". The actual story of the capture is best told in Waterton's own words. "The people pulled the caiman to the surface; he plunged furiously as soon as he arrived in these upper regime, and immediately went below again on their slackening the rope. I saw enough not to fall in love at first sight, I now told them we would run all risks and have himetin land immedi- ately, "They pulled. again, and out he came. This was an interesting' moment. "I kept my pesition firmly, with my eye fixed steadfast on him, "By the time, the, caiman, was within two yards of me I saw he was in, a state of fear and perturbation. I instantly dropped the mast, sprung up, and jumped on his back; turning half round as I vaulted, so that I gained my seat with my face in the right. position. I immediately seized his forelegs, and by main force twisted them on his back; thus they served me for a bridle. "He now seemed to have re- covered from his surprise, and hostile company he began to plunge furiously, and lashed the sand• with his long and powerful tail. I was out of reach of the strokes of it by being near his head, He continued to plunge and strike and made my seat very uncomfortable, It must -have been a fine sight for an un- occupied spectator. "The people' roared out in triumph, and were so vociferous .that it was some time before they heard me tell them to pull me and my heist of burden on to the shore. I was apprehensive the rope might break, and then there would have been every ,charice of going down to the regions un- der water with the caiman." Eventually, Waterton and his captive were safely landed. "It was the first and last time I was ever on a caiman's back. A few years after Waterton's return from South America the possibility of further explora- tions was brought to an, abrupt end when his father died, Meer- him .an estate in Yorkshire. To this he retired and built a ',wall all round it to keep out intru- ders. He was not finished with wild life, however, for witeiin this wall he established the •world's first bird Sanctuary, spending the remainder of his life quietly studying, the behaviour of the birds of his native countryside, Tins for Averting Water Tragedies at Summer Cottages Precautions 1.1f your shoreline has an un- even bottom, mark off the shal- low safe part with floats or markers. 2.

If chilciteri elay with Plettle rhunder Scared Colt Into Winning One thing that makes the Eng- lish Derby so popular is that stillest always, it produces closely-run race in which ex- citement is kept Alive Until the runners reach the post. The vast majority of the ""renewals of the Derby Stakes" are won by a length Or less, which indicates how close is the standard of the leading classic colts each year, Of course, there are exceptions —like Hard Ridden'e win a year ago and in a year when there is a. particularly outstanding horse which is made a hot favourite his defeat is a sensation in itself, no matter how small the margin. In that respect alone the Derby of 1904 was sensational enough, for it brought about the com- plete eclipse of the favourite, a French horse named Gouver- nant, which finished last but one in a field of eight. But that is only part of the story. The winner, by the very comfortable margin of three lengths, was. a 5-1 shot called St. Amant. Nothing particularly sensational, in that, you might think, particularly as St. Amant, starting as favourite, had "walked away" with the. 2,000 Guineas by four .lerigths. But What does makeethis one of the strangest of all Derby stories is that St. Arrant, for 'all his ability, probably owed his victory to a thunderstorm. A resounding clap of thunder just as the race was starting so scared him that he leaped out ahead of the field and was never caught! From the weather point of view, it was certainly one of the worst. Derby days on record. It was so wet that Queen Alexan- dra, who had announced her in- tention of being present, decided to stay in London after all, and steady rain that had persisted all the morning developed into a downpour of almost tropical in- tensity as the runners began to parade. One critic noted that St. Amant looked as cool as a cucumber — an oddly signifi- cant remark in view of what was to happen a few minutes later. Because of the smallness of the field the pre-race preparations did not take long and there was still nearly half an hour to the "off," the greater part of which was spent parading around. the paddock before an ever-dimin- ishing audience, most of the crowd preferring the shelter of the stands. So far, although ominous-look- ing clouds were hanging over the course, there was little sign of the thunderstorm that was about to break so suddenly and dramatically. St. Amant, brav- ing the rain, still looked uncon- cerned as the runners made their way to the start. It was now that the drama of the Derby began. Rumbles of thunder were heard in the dis- tance, and St. Amant's demean- ;Mr changed immediately. Al- though he had drawn No. 3, his jockey, Kempton Cannon, was given permission to move over to the outside. This was not so much a con- cession to the Guineas winner as a measure of safety for some of the, other horses, notably John O'Gaunt, St. Amant's neighbour.
