tell the colonel not to do anything is a
mighty good way Of inducing him to try
to do 1t, and in this case induced him
to overdo it as WELL
Before he had gone ten feet from the
boat he went down thru the crust of the

OF the oars In his hands, he would proba-
bly, be on the go yet. But the oar came
down crossways, and held his head above
the slime, and managed to reach him
with the other, being very much less of
weight than he, and get it under his arm
pit.
Then worked the anchor rope around
ms shoulders, and between us we hauled
him out, the foulest, sorriest-l looking
scarecrow In the United States But a
little water soon cleaned him, and he said
he wanted a swim anyhow and the mud
path made good excuse, and we ad-
Journed for dinner. After that meal we
tried 1t again with the remnants Of our
frogs, and spoonhooks, doing very well.

all the fish any two men were entitled to,
and of the right size, we quit early,
cleaned up twenty five we meant to give
away to indifferent friends, and leaving,
counting those in the live box and the
old boat, thirty very large ones, for our
particular intimates and our own USE
Those we meant to kill and clean in the
ca rfy morning, and SO get them to town
as free from danger Of pton1Aines as might
be. But we counted without the colonel.
