which sets off a light. Then the helicopter moves closer and more
slowly over the waves until the humans are able to see the life
jacket.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ehrweb.aaas.org/ehr/parents/Pigeons!.html">World War I, a pigeon
