This little snap-shot requires quite an amount of scrutiny to
decipher. It has been sent in by Mr. Andrew E. Pearson, of 8, Cobden
Road, Newington, Edinburgh, who took it on the Gareloch, at Shandon,
in August last. It represents a sailing yacht travelling from left
to right, and throwing shadows so remarkably well defined that if
the picture be turned upside down it appears almost the same. When
turned end on--as it now stands--it might be mistaken for a bat or a
butterfly, or even a moth. Being reversed again, curiously enough it
still retains the same likeness.
