Hunters ana FISHERS.
A writer for Outing tells about the
sport of striking tarpon.
"For this" he says, lone uses a
barbed iron called grains or short,
light harpoon known as lilly iron,
either of which is temporarily attached
to light pine pole, the striking pole,
and is cast as spear might be.
"The grains is a double pronged
wrought iron instrument, the prongs usu-
ally not more than or inches in
length, and from three-sixteenths to
three-eighths of an inch thick. Strong
barbs are sprung an inch from the deli
, cately sharp, hardened points, having a
spread of three-eighths of an inch and
about % inches space between the two
I The prongs are cut SO that the points,
while extending inward, are raised from
opposing sides. This gives the greatest
holding power The grains has also a
tapered socket for the striking pole. The
lily iron is far heavier instrument,
and unlike the grains, is capable of
killing at blow. The upper sides of
the barbs are left broad and fiat, ena-
bling them to Withstand strain of sew
eral hundred pounds. A heavier and
sharper weapon is used to strike sword
fish or porpoises, as the former are
dangerous creatures, unless hit mortally.
Then there are necessary 300 or 400 feet
of soft striking line, three-sixteenths
of an inch in diameter, and one of the
ordinary fishing boats of the Florida
coast and guide
"On approaching the tarpon run the
sails and mast are slowed, and the guide
uses pole in the shallow water and
sculls in the channel A fish being seen,
the striker indicates its direction, and,
standing in the bow with widely spread
legs, leaning well back, with poised
spear, the man waits till he is within 20
feet, unless he is unusually powerful,
then hurls the weapon, which shoots
with hiss into the water
"The fish is anywhere from two to
three feet beneath the surface of the wa
ter, changing it's position constantly,
and, because of the refraction, seeming
ly anywhere but where it really is A
successful throw buries the points in the
| flesh, and the pole comes loose and floats
to the surface, to be picked up when the
tarpon makes its first rush. 1t is best to
let the tarpon go without trying to stop
it on the first rush. as the barbs may
fall out. When the rush is over, the
boat is run toward the fish. Then out of
the water it goes, not with the grace
and head shaking O. a hooked tarpon,
but with rush and surge. Then it lows
the boat, if the fish is 100 or 100
FOUNDER, at rapid rate. Sometimes the
fish sulks and leaps, darting at the boat
to scrape the grains out of its flesh. 1t
takes about half as long to kill a tarpon
with spear as with hook, but it is a
fiercer fight while it lasts. -

ILLINOIS.
As usual, there is difference between
first estimates and the revised figures.
but it is clear that the three regiments
whose strength is given lost ATT men,
and it is unlikely that they numbered
more than reported. Colonel Pugh says
he led about $50 men in the charge, but
does not say whether this includes the
Twenty eighth Illinois, which was at
tached to his command, or not. With
the losses of that regiment included the
brigade suffered 535 casualties.
But Colonel Lee, who commanded a
company that day and was twice wound
ed, says he was not reported wounded
and that three of his company besides
were wounded and not reported, and he
thinks that there were at least 100 cas-
ualties in the brigade which did not get
into the official records. Colonel Earl of
the Fifty-third was killed, Colonel
Brown severely wounded and Colonel
Male stunned and disabled.
In it's charge at Petersburg the First
Maine carried, according to estimates.
900 to $50 men. Major Low of the regi-
ment places the strength after close re-
vision at 892. The killed and wounded
officially reported were $50, but later
details swell the figures to $50. The
killed and mortally wounded were 80.
The regiment marched in three battal-
ions, each about the equivalent in
strength to one of Colonel Pugh's war
worn infantry regiments
