Tuna Triumphs
The tuna were biting again last night
and early this morning, and three of them
were brought to shore. The catch that de-
manded the most skill and patience was
by Mr.. Rider of Los Angeles His fish
was hooked foul, and it is wonder he was
ever landed. Just as he was brought to
the gait he commenced to swim and splash
water, completely drenching Will Smith,
who was in charge of the boat. The other
fishes were landed by Tom Manning,
bronzed veteran Of the island, who was
out with Mexican Joe." 1.-THE Cardinals"
fish weighed 100 pounds and was on the
hook for two hours, towing the boat about
five miles straight out to sea. The third
fish weighed los pounds and was caught
by DR.. MacComber, who was out with Jim
Gardiner.

and there are any numbers of parties going
out after them at all times Of the day. Mrs.

out with Harry Films in the Putting Pig, and
