the faculty of distinguishing their
master from anyone else, swim to his
skiff, and hooking their tails over the
bow of his boat, haul him to the place
where the bass are playing thickest.
When the doctor prepares to fish
these educated reptiles unlock their
tails and swim away.
After the doctor catches n boatload
of bass, these intelligent snakes re-
turn, hook their tails over the boat
and pull him to shore, always bidding
him good.by with hearty tailshake,
which they hold above the water In
a most friendly manner.
This is the reason DIR. Bergesser can
catch fish where other successful
anglers fail.
The doctor also says that he has
noted a certain kind of frog which sits
on the bank and warns the fish not tc
bite. and he always has to shoot these
frogs before he can have any luck

The doctor Is not only successful
but he is also truthful fisherman, al
