1t is n peculiar fact that fish stories
are seldom considered to be over
burdcncd with truthful details. No
matter who the narrator may be. when
he ventures out with a tale of fish he
has caught. or that he has seen some
one else catch, or heard that they
caught. his hearers intuitively brace
themselves to listen to n yarn who's
truthful parts must be very elastic, or
they never would stand the stretching
they are apt to get There is no rea-
son why man should misrepresent
things when telling about the fish he
has caught. any more than he should
about anything else. and no induce
ment. unless 1t lies in the ability to tell
4 bigger yarn than the other fellow,
but nine out of every ten are apt to do
it. Such an instance occurred, the
other evening. The story was not in
tended for publication, but some ona
told it, and here it is. Two or three
men were sitting round an office table.
enjoying an after supper cigar. and
were talking about fishing. One of the
party had fished all the waters of
Maine. and told some stories which
rather staggered the other two. The
second man could offer nothing, nor
could the third. in the way of trout
fishing. but he finally led the subject
round to mackerel fishing. and how the
mackerel had left the Maine coast.
"Why. gentlemen" said he, you've no
idea how thick those fish used to be.
on the coast. Do you know, that when
was a boy used to live in Belfast.
and I've seen the mackerel so thick in
the bay that when the steamer came
up the bay she would crowd millions
of the fish ashore. and they would jam
around her so hard as to stop her. and
then the crew would get out and stand
on the mackerel. and put plank under
the steamer, and pry her up. so that
she could go on to her dock"
