a group of officers stood on the after
deck of the monitor Terror as the YES
sci lay in the Horseshoe down at Sandy
Hook one afternoon just before the re-
cent trial of the ships guns at sea, and
discussed whether there was time to
fish from the deck for awhile before
dinner. The discussion brought forth
lot of naval fishing experiences.
When the gristof stories had nearly run
out an officer, who had been silent up
to that time, cleared his throat and

Il suppose some of you will laugh
and sheer at my statement, but want
10 declare that | have seen fish that
could and did catch bullets. We have
all heard of magicians who catch bul-
lets fired at them by members of
squad. l can go that better by saying
that | have seen fish that really did
catch bullets fired in volley into the
water from a man-of-war. 1t was OH
my latest cruise. l had just been or
dered to the ship. The day that / ar
rived my fellow officers said that they
had part of the crew drawn up for re-
volver practice. At the close of the
practice a volley was fired at an imag
mary enemy.
Later in the day the officers began
to fish for pleasure, and several fish
were caught. In each of them was
found a bullet from the revolvers that
had been fired that afternoon. or

was brought up and another volley was

fishing right away. In less than half
an hour we had two fine bass. We cut
them open, and there were the bullets.

ance in a new hat, new shoes, or new
clothes. This is bit of slang absolute

1t is not, as many suppose, an intima-
ton that a man has been purchasing
clothing at an auction of fire-damaged
goods. 1t is survival of the period
when the Volunteer fire department
was in it's fullest glory. In those days
some of the "b'hoys" used to loot the
stores in which fires occurred, and after
there was a fire in big clothing store
the firemen appeared in new suits but
with their feet almost out of their
shoes. Then there would be fire in a
boot and shoe store and all the boys
would have new shoes. From those
