, fisherman threw out his line and hook
! from the window, enjoying a most de
, lightful combination of fishing an6
> sleeping in turns. OF course, the line
was long and much bait was lost during
the sleepy spells, yet the angler de
eiared that he never had more sport il
: his life. Spray Island is not inhabited
!, except by fishermen, who make it theil
home off and on during the week anc
. on Sundays. Mrs. J. Colley and chill
