No wrong numbers
Mr. James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst.Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury,but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage,so he has just bought twelve pigeons.Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury.The bird covered the distance in three minutes.Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other.In this way, he has begun his own private 'telephone' service.
