waters. Impatient aud fearing that any
oss of time would result 10 loss OF his
fish. he dropped his rod and grabbed the
Inc with both hands, stifi-heeling the
fish up on to the apron In short meter.
Now he had q problem on his hands. !
How should he prevent the fish from
getting away: Jumping on him with
both feet he thought would prevent all

ng the writhiug dsh BY the gills, he ran
Tor where his friends were watching the
