e pass some wrecks which add to
the adventure of the trip and watch
with interest the shad fishermen in
rowboats, scattered along our way,
hauling their nets. The sight of the
jumping silvery fish they take out
arouses our fishing ardor till the old-
est-varans aboard get into an excite-
ment lhat is pleasant to see.
^The morning is beautiful. The sky
is intensely blue and the sunshine
sparkles merrily on the tumbling bil-
lows. A gentle breeze a trifle eool,
from the northwest makes the air a*
clear as a bell, and the distant coast,
the strange looking vessels from for-
eign ports, the transatlantic steam-
ers fishing smacks, etc., are a never
ending panorama.
At last we have reached the fishing
grounds. Every fisherman, glowing
with expectations, is in his place, pole
in hana, eager1 v waiting for the an-
chor to drop. Down it goes, leaving
a string of pearly bubbles behind it
Then 200 whole skimmer clams on ai
as many hooks fly through the air,
hit the water with a splash and swiftly
sink to the bottom.
Codfishing is rather slow work and
there generally is a long time between
bites, but in a few moments we hear
the welcome shout: "Get the gaff!"
One of the vetemos by us on the hur-
ricane deck is struggling to reel in the
first fish. All eyes are on him.
' Keep him in the water," is the un-
necessary advice shouted when the
twenty pouud codfish cornea to the
surface. On the lower deck is a man
ready with the gaff. "There; now's
your chance 1" Jab 1 goes the big hook
uito the monstrous nsh and with a
hurrah it is safely landed. The lucky
and envied old salt drops his pole and
rushes below. When he reappears
dragging his three foot long prize by
con- the gills, with his grizzled face flush
ed with victory and expanding with
tho proudest smile, he makes a picture
that an amateur photographer ought
to secure.
"Get the gaff I" now sounds all over

pounds, skates as big as an overcoat,

A Most Slsgular Case.
Louisville, Ky., July 23.—Mrs.
Ellen Roberts bled to death here
today in a singular manner. A few

however, and little attention was
