ALMON FISHING AT DTihneinfilisje hr taken

averaging between seven and nine pounds each. vest-1:4:1,V,

tory, as showing the beneficial effect of the protection af-
tim led to the ricer.—Ayr Observer.
TRAIT OF A DUELLIST.—Lord Camelford com-
manded the Favourite sloop of war, and Commodore Fahie
:he ;,hip Ptrdrix, 11Ir. Peteron holding the rank of Firm

Lieutenant on board: the last-named vessel, Cormhodore
Fahie had left Antigua a short time before, to take tempo-
rary command of the fleet, then anchored before St.. Kitt's ;
and during his absence Lieutenant Peterson was of course
left in command of the Perdrix. * * * * Lord Camel-
ford and Lieutenant Peterson were unhappily at variance ;
and perhaps to mortify his rival, Lord Camelford ordered Mr.
Peterson to take the watch on the very evening that a gay
ball was to be given at Black Point to the naval officers
Unfortunately, Lieutenant Peterson entertained the
idea that as he was in command of the ship Perdrix, in
the absence of Commodore Fahie, he was superior
officer to Lord Camelford, who only commanded a sloop ; and
in consequence of this false impression, he positively refused
to-obey his Lordship's orders. The disastrous evening ap-
proached, and the Lieutenant retired to his quarters above
the capstan-house, in order to dress for the festive party.
Arming himself with a pair of loaded pistols, and telling his
boat's crew to attend him, Lord Camelford quitted his retire-
ment, and stationed himself directly between the capstan-
house and the guard-house (now called the Commissioner's
house), and there waited the approach of Mr. Peterson, whom
he had already summoned to attend him. Upon the unfor-
tunate young officer making his appearance, accompanied by
some of his friends, his Lordship again commanded
him to take charge of the watch for the eve-
ning: the command was again refused ; when taking one
of the pistols front his bosom, Lord Camelford immediately
tired, and the ball passing through the breast of the brave
but inconsiderate Lieutenant, he fell a corpse upon the
ground, the deadly stream welling from the wound, and stain-
ing, as it flowed, the gay ball-dress which he wore. No
sooner did the well-aimed weapon do its work, than drawing
the other from its resting-place, his Lordship turned to the
Second Lieutenant of the Perdrix, and pointing it at him,
asked if he would obey his orders, or meet the same punish-
ment as Mr. Peterson? Life is sweet ! the second in com-
mand saw his friend stretched at his feetwith the red blood
gurgling around him, and, fearing the same fate, he obeyed
Lord Camelford, and took the watch.—Antigua and the
Antiguans.
