FISHING OFF A MAN-OF-WAP<
One Particularly Exciting Catch
Which Raised Row Among

The followers Of Izaak Walton on

sublieutenant, Who was not particular
~ liked by his junior mcssmates, was

msn, seeing the line depending from
tie ''chains" above, reached out Of one
Of the main deck ports ana gave it a
couple ofviolent tugs, in imitation OF Z.
hsh biting. Up the line was hauled with
alacrity, but OF course with no result.
Once again She sub essayed to catch
this big fish that had given him SO
heavy Il bite, says Cornhill Magazine.
This time the 1niddy's plan was more
elaborate, for getting a companion to
keep the necessary strain upon the
upper portion, lie hauled up the lower
part OF the fishing line and attached to
the hooks an old shoe, an empty bottle,
holy stone and sardine tin. HAVING
carefully lowered these to the full ex-
tent Of the line, he gave it more pow
erful pull than ever, and the expect
ant fisherman above hauled in as fast as
he could, hand over hand. But his Ian
guage when lie discovered the nature Of
his catch is too much to ask even an
unfortunate compositor to set up in
