Everything went lovely enough until we
got out into the middle of the lake. the party
was wholly eongenial and the fact that the
bass and pickerel kept frisking out Of the
water all around US made everybody nearly
crazy to fish As we moved slowly along we
brought out the split bamboo rods, the silver
reels, the silk lines, the nets, and all that sort
Of thing. and made ready for a piscatorial
slaughter that old Ike Walton might have
envied But just as we got ready for the
charge an awful conviction flashed upon me,
and sweat and trembled like a convicted
felon. There we were, sixty miles from any
where on the bosom Of lake full Of fish,
