HUFFINGTON
09.23.12
On April 16, one of Conan
Doyle’s crewmates shot a hawk
“about 18 inches high with
beautifully speckled plumage.” He
humorously sketches his idea of
a hawk (“Had the smallpox in its
youth”) and the “Captain’s idea
of a hawk” (“Looking out for prey”
with the help of a telescope).
