COOKTOWN, May 29
Sing Kee has a market garden on the Endeavour River, and he does not like crocodiles, although they seem to like his garden. With characteristic Chinese resourcefulness he has commenced a campaign against the saurians, and at intervals poisons the carcase of a wallaby and hangs it from a tree that leans over the river, the rope being just long enough to allow the bait to be awash at high tide.
Each time the wallaby has disappeared, and a few days later someone has found a dead crocodile.
The last find was made in a back wash of the river, 200yds. from the Endeavour River bridge, by Mr. V. Behrendorff, who is in charge of the new section of the Hope Valley Lutheran Mission at this point. The dead crocodile was 15ft. long, and inside it was one of Sing Kee's wallabies.
