Of Blackstone as Major Donnell, Judge i.
| N. Smith and e. V. Parker, had rather
| amusing time of it the other day The
party were after bottom fish, and were
| fishing by time, that is, each member Of
the party was allowed to keep his line down
for fifteen minutes. At the end of the first
| fifteen minutes the judge pulled UP his line,
and, remarking that there was FISH on 1t
! sure, brought to view one of the most hor-
4 rfble looking Ash that swims the seas. It
| was rat fish, though none of the party
knew at the time It's family. The Judge
| took the bantering Of his companions good
naturally, and at the end of another fifteen
minutes 1t was Major Donnell's time to
haul up. The major commenced to haul
| up his line in very leisurely manner, and
| after being cautioned several times to get
O move on brought 1t in on the run. On
| the last hook was something that had the
shape Of q fish and was as ugly as sin, far
outclassing the Judges fish in point Of
| ugliness. This time the laugh was on the
other, and all that the major could do was
| to submit. At last came the time for
Mr.. Parker to roll up, and when his hooks
were all in he had added two british look
| ing stingarees to the collection. This was
enough, and the party pulled up their an
Choir and came back to Avalon.
