Fishing For n Drink.

A guide who has done more or less
plug fishing on Mooselookmeguntic
lake says he can get drink Of nice,
cold water when he is anchored on q
lake, provided the water is deep
enough. For deep fishing it is customa-
~ to sound for a clay bottom before
casting anchor. and our informant
claims that he can sound to secure n
cool drink. He ties a weight to the
bottom of his coffee lbottie, and with
the string tied also to the cork he
drops it to the bOttoms then by quick
jerk pulls the cork. thn.bottle fills with
cold. clear water. and he has only to
pull it in.-Phillips monograph.
