pickerel. which was fully Is inches long
and had washed through the gatehouse and
got stranded in the low water of the canal,

Eels like to get some fish into a small
corner abd then attack and seize them be-
fore they can get away. An eel cannot be-
gin to swim as fast as piekerel.
The puddle of clear water in which both
the eel and the piekerel were was not larger
than a small room. The pickerel darted
away from the slippery eel, who would i'm
mediately sink on the bottom and begin
worming Its way toward the fish again.
When near the fish would again dart off.
The fish was evidently getting Iattled,

would snap at it with its mouth.
