After three worried days, Ross received a radio message from Camp Dix (Wrightstown, N. J.). A Fort Monmouth bird had come down there badly wounded. He hurried to Camp Dix, found his Molly. Like many another pigeon, she had been attacked by a hawk. There was a big hole in her back. Her weight, usually 14 oz., was down to six.
