Sport in the Wilderness

Plckerel spearing is one OF tie most
picturesque OF Adirondack gports. AT
the head of your boat, Preferably a
broad seaworthy scow, is an iron bas-
ket with burning torca OF oil-soaked
cotton waste strongly found with cord.
Slowly, and with strokes that neither
make noise or ripple, the guide pad
dies the boat through the shadows;
the foliage, lighted up from beneath,
presents the most curious aspect to
one who has seen it only by daylight.
and to him who gazes steadily into
the water are revealed shoals of little
fish that swim about the boat, fasein-
ated by the dare of the great torcn.
Firmly planted upon widespread feet
in the bow is the sportsman with the
long-handled, five-tined spear poised
in air. Suddenly what appears to in.
experienced eyes a small water-soaked
log lying on the white sand of the
bottom has caught the sportsman II
gaze, and with a quick and powerful
thrust he sends the weapon sliding
through his hand and directly at the
dim, inert object. AS the spearhead
reaches bottom the sportsman presses
hard with the end of the long handle,
and then cautiously lifts the spear
from the water. In the glare OF the
hambeau all on board see the fierce
head and writhing body of the victim
pierced through and through, but
fun of life and tight.-Indoor and Out.
