sea was something bigger than this. There's
no ,.,n, more waves than mill pond"
Jhese are long and exquisitively undulat-

:. There swells," explained Billy, as the boat
shpped smoothly over one Steamers make
EN-, EN- way out on the Sound They're almost
dead by the time they git in here. We amt
out OF the cove yet"
Tamilla!' shouted Jim, from the bow of
the boat; Aunt Maria said it would be rough
er outside. Maybe you'll have good chance
to get seasick yet. Oh, but wouldn't like to
see 1t get hold of you, thought"
NO reply whatever could be made to a sug-
gestlon so disrespectful and that came so very
near to being malicious.
After Jlm's remark, however, the discus
SION OF nautical ~matters grew a deal more
animated.
BILLY had many questions to answer, and
each,as II was put to him, proved more and
more fully the fact that he was out for the the
dIay with three young people from away in
land, not one of whom had ever seen salt
water before or knew the least thing in the
World about it, except what they had read in
thelr books at boarding school,
bIIly Ruggles did not seem to mind the
long pull to Goose Island Perhaps it was
with ' '''e'i
There was no great matter of an island after
1T was reached, but, such as it was, there
it lay, in the bright morning sunlight, with
water sparkling all around it, and with its
highest ledge not many feet above the level
OF the surf 1t looked stil and lonely, and
three of the quartette in the boat studied Il
profoundly as they drew nearer
There were some trees and bushes all an
pearing very much as if life had been a
labor to them. There was nearly AN acre Of
short, obstinate looking grass, and the remain,
der of Goose Island especially along the
shore, was rocks.
Camilla said to Martin, as they stepped from
the boat, that it was kind of mystery, and
that it must have a history of some delight,
fg sort, she was sure; but just then Jim
shouted, excitedly
Now, Billy. let's get out the bait and
things. Where's the best place to fish?'
"Oh the rocks most anywhere. / fetched
along some sand worms and some clans and
sshedder crabs. You can try for most any
thing I'll show ye."
Billy was busy fellow for the next ten
minutes He was attentive to all his passen.

but they did not hear him say to himself,

chance of hooking a perch or an eel. The
mighty ocean had all sorts of wonderful crea-
lures in it, and one of them had actually taken
his hook. Mart could not as much as guess
what kind of a one, but he was rapidly run
ming over in his mind list OF all he had
ever heard Of He thought of Jonah first.
STEADY" called out Billy Ruggles. "Givc
him some line. Break your pole if you
don't"
"Bite!" shouted jim. "Mart's got bite!"
And then he grasped his own rod desperately,
and bit his tongue in his wild eagerness yah!
So have |! Whoopi"
He did not tumble from the rocky ledge
he stood on, but the poor little porgy that
had hooked himself was landed away up shore
as far as determined swing could carry him.
1t might have been a shark or a whale, and
Jim put in all the strength he had, and all
the fish line
Mart was of more calculating turn of
mind. Perhaps he was better fisherman.
At all events, he. earned tribute of respect
from Billy by the care and patience with
which he fought and conquered and brought
to shore vigorous three-pound blackfsh
Long before the splendid fellow had 1opped
his last upon the sand, Camilla had reached
the spot to see the prize.
ITS a positive monster" she declared to
Martin, as soon as she could get breath enough
to do so. 1T almost makes me afraid to be
here
ITS mighty fine fish," said Billy, as he
ing that kind of luck myself. He landed it
well, too"
What is it?" asked Mart, with becoming
pride
"Blackfsh! Best kind of eating!"
whats mine?" inquired an eager voice be-
hind him.
"Porgy! Mebbe you'll catch big one next
time. They're good"
Jim had thought well of his catch until that
moment, but it seemed to shrink at least
foot while he held it up The sight of that
blackfsh sobered and dazzled him. He turned
away at once, and went back to his rock,
"No, sir! there isn't any fish could pull
me in. l could lie down to it, or / could brace
myself and lear, back. I'll be ready fOr him
when he comes"
Camilla studied the blackfsh profoundly
for minute or so and then remarked, with
calm decision:
81 have walked around enough There are
no shells / think l will find me a suitable
spot here and make sketch of the rock
Cousin Martin is fishing from. The fish near
it seem to be larger than those where James
is" "''
Something seemed to be the matter with
Billy just then; but he overcame il. He picked
up the long, cane fishing pole he had brought
for his own use and began to put a line
upon it.
"If Jim would only hook whopper, lust
now" he said to himself wouldn't it be funl"

said poor things If don't have some fun
out of all this, now, never you mind"
1t was plain that the two inland boys had
done more or less fishing already, and even
fresh water practice will teach fellow some
thing.
They had brought their own rods and tackle
with them, and Billy remarked Of these that
ne hoped nothing heavy would strike one OF
them things"
They rather disappointed him, however, by
the readiness with which they grasped ideas
as to bait and as to the proper method of
cutting it up and putting it on.
Both Jim and Mart were possessed with
the idea that there was no time to spare.
The ocean, or Goose Island, or the fish
might get away from them. Not one minute
was to be wasted in the processes which end
ed In each of them finding a seat on a rock
and casting hook into genuine, original salt
water.
This was great thing for boy to do and
to tell of after he got home, and they felt it
all over. AS for Camilla, she had already stag
gered Billy several times. He had never seen
any other girl precisely like her.
She now remarked to him, with kindness
as well as dignity:
William, l think shall take stroll around
the island. | wish to explore the beach, |
should very much like to pick up some marine
shells for my collection.
Nothing here but oyster shells, or CLAIMS. or
mussels. Not thing"
''ls that so? | knew | should probably oh
tain no ,corals in this latitude. ! will take
my stroll, however, and see what can find.
Then l will try to do some sketching"
She, walked away, and Billy followed her
with his eyes.
"She's a-holdin' in" he said "She's really
as much excited as the boys are. Her color's
a-comin and goin, and her eyes are all in a
sparkle"
Billy's acute observations had not misled
him as to the mental condition of his three
passengers. They were upon desoate island,
away out in the salt, salt sea, of which they
had tasted, to make sure of the fact, and the
mainland of North America, containing the
United States Mexico, the British possessions.
and some other places, which they could not
just remember, seemed further and further
away in the dim distance every time they
ventured to look to see if it were still there
at all. They were all conscious of secret
desire that it should seem as far away as was
consistent with any certainty of getting back
to it in time for SUPPER
Mart" said Jim, the first time he turned
his eyes from his line, eff l could cut this isl
and loose and set her adrift, I'd do it,"
Mart made no answer whatever and his
face was worth seeing at that moment. II
was white with sudden interest. Some un-
known ,dweller of the briny deep had seized
his hook, bait and all, and was trying hard to
pull it away from him.
This was no fresh water, mill pond bust
ness, with toss-up as to whether it was a
bull-head or pumpkin-seed, and an outside

fN7 HE big yawl was a heavy pull for a
boy of the size of Billy Ruggles, but
- he tugged away at the oars very
IGEQsAi manfully. His freckled face was
- almost as red as his hair, at any
time, but it shone with a richer
blaze every now and then.
His three passengers had been quite silent
during the first ten minutes after leaving
the beach. They may have been too full for
utterance, or they may have been exercising
caution.
When at last they began to speak, they told
Billy Ruggles a great deal more than they
meant to, and what they said seemed to amuse
the lad very much.
81 saw something then!" suddenly ex-
claimed one OF the passengers, stout, hearty
looking boy, who was leaning recklessly over
the bow of the boat. WAS it fish"
Nothing but fish in this ere water" re-
sponded Billy, between strokes.
And at that moment he was spoken to by
the pretty young lady on the back seat.
She must have been all of seventeen, and
no doubt very learned, for there was a port
folio in her lap with two pamphlets lying
"William," she said, with an uncommonly
perfect accent, lis the ocean always as smooth
and as beautiful as We see it this morn
ing?,
or weather most like"
Are you sure there is plenty of good fish
ing at Goose Island?" inquired the thin youth
who sat at the side of the young lady, and
whom she had addressed very kindly and
condescendingly as Cousin Martin"
"Fishing?" said Billy. Course there is. All
sorts of it. Eat your lunch there, too. Dig
some clans as soon as the tides out, and
roast EN-"
"There's anotherp again broke out the un-
easy boy at the bow; and he was leaning away
over to look at something that may have
dved under the boat. Billy Rugges," he
added, as he sat up again, "what kinds OF
fishes do you catch around here"
"Most all sorts Cunners and sharks and
porges and porpusees and blackfsh and weak
fish and bass and"
"Sharks" thoughtfully interrupted the
young lady. 81 believe ! would like to see
one-in his own element"
"Mebbe you'll see fin of one, fore we get
back. Sometimes you do" said Billy, as he
tugged steadily away at his oars
