in flying spume, and out of the sharp rapier
of the swordfsh swinging from side to side with
savage blows. But the gatfer held fast, pred down
the pole, lifted the big sword armored head and
held on for his life, lodging the blows that came
thick and fast.
The angler, holding his rod with one hand, seized
a rope and tossed it over. The sword bore down
upon it hard and the game was up The big fish laid
alongside, rising and falling, wrthing in the tolls
few thrusts, and the swordfsh hung inert. and the
two stood and looked their congrat ulations at
each other, almost too weary to speak.
The fish nearly fifteen feet in length. It's
sword was four and half feet long and could have
been pushed through the hull of wooden vessel
when the fish was going at full speed It's weight
was estimated at four hundred pounds, and for all
round ferceness and game qualities it is doubtful if
the game has been equaled. This the first sword
fish ever known have been taken with rod and reel
Among the anglers who have taken the game
is James L. Orr, of Los Angeles with William Rogg
of Avalon as boatnan. The fish fought the angler
for nearly an hour, and more than threatened
the boat. 1t was eight feet in length.
In August H. Allen of Los Angeles, with George
Farrsworth as boatman, hooked a swordfsh that
demonstrated that it the king of game fishes

cruel sword glistening, the drops flying from it in
crystal shower. Then it fell-not with the grace of
the tuna, head first, but broadsde on, like ship
falling from the side of tidal wave, with crash
loud that the impact appeared to drive the fish
to frenzy for up it went again, three feet to drop
and thresh the water with its powerful tall shaking
its ugly beak in a vain endeavor to be rid of this
small but vigorous and deadly thing that was bur
rowing into its hard jaw
The angler had not spoken; but he was doing
lot of thinking, and was breathless. He had reeled
in all the line, and giving the fish enough slack
to amuse itself with gazing at the ieaping squirm-
ing appartion with wide open eyes of wonderment;
before-a game that could have sunk the craft had
it been aroused to the frenzy of big swordshes that
ram ships every month in the year in various seas.

the boat like mad bull only to be beaten off by

is enjoyed at Avalon Bay, California.
Santa Catalina is, in all probability, the most re-
markable fishing ground in the world,-a island
twenty-five miles long eighteen miles out at
off Los Angeles County; big mountain range ris-
ing twenty-five hundred feet in the Japanese Cur
rent and situated that its north coast is region
of Gains, afordng that thing, perfectly smooth
water at sea. The region is the spawning. ground
for number of large game fishes, the black sea
bass, the tuna, the white sea bass,-and now the
swordfish has been added.
For number of years some large and unknown
fish has been occasionally hooked by trollers off
shore, and the began to be superstitous over
it; but finally fortunate fisherman, whose
Lewellyn, found out what the queer game was:
He trolling for yellowtail from launch off

aiming his long gait he would a harpoon.
The fish came at the launch like a catapult They
saw its big black eyes, its tawny skin its long cut
lass like sword, and the fisherman stopped Keeling
in very establishment at the sight The boatman
was just about to hurl his pole at the giant fish,
when it caught sight of the boat and swerved aside
rapidly that it drenched them.
Look to your line!' cried the boatman. We'll
land him yeti"
The fish gathered in the slack, and the impact on
the reel came with smash that almost took the
-od man overheard, and the leather brake as the
man said, fairly spit leather dust for minute
Three hundred, four hundred, five hundred, feet
then he stopped it, the big fish turning again
He's going to give us another run for our money!"
said the boatman Get the port side away
from it, that sword WI. go through us like paper
and if it does come, grab it!'
But the swordfsh didn't have the courage or
was not ugly enough. 1t shot by the boat ten feet
astern, going like ray Of light, towing three hun
dred feet of slack line. Presently it had five hun
dred feet on the other side but to be rounded UP
in gallant shape by the bending rod; then came
the trick that stamped this splendid fish as a gen

came, to leap again high into the
air. and this time the whirl of the
reel held it, as with great side
sweeps it swung from side to side.
You've got him surei" whis-
pered the boatman, as the reel ate
up the line and the rod bent to the
danger point.
Inch by inch the line came in,
and with it the big fish, that now
bore away hard and swung in a
circle, SO that the angler had to
turn round and round. The fish
clrcled the boat three or four
times, ever coming in a decreasing
circle, until it could be seen plainly
on the surface, its spirit broken,
subdued, but still full of fight and
logged ugliness AT any moment a
rush might be expected, or it might
turn and charge the boat; but the
game was up, and nearer it came,
always bearing off, the rod man
Keeling hard, bending to it, trying
to give his noble foe the quietus,
yet winded and wearied beyond ex-

from the excitement of the struggle
as well as the physical strain.

the boatman, and as the sharp
sword cut the water on the star

Santa Catalina, when something
struck the line and took about
four hundred feet of it so quickly
that the fisherman hardly knew it.
Then he got the leather brake on,
thinking he had tuna, when out
of the water came a fish as long as
the launch. Up it went, fifteen
feet, and for a few seconds ap-
peared to hang in the air, thresh-
ing its sides, then falling with a
crash that sent waves rolling in
all directions and a cloud of spray
into the air In those few seconds
the boatman had recognized the
game. 1t had a long, slender,
rapier like weapon extending out
from it's head, and he shouted:
Swordfsh! Look out! Get
on your feet, or it may run you
through"
The fisherman sprang to his feet
and stood up in the chair, while
the boatman picked up his long
gaff and took to the deck. The
line was slack, and all the reeling
the fisherman could do he could
not get it in. The swordfsh could
now be seen coming like a streak
of lightning, its big, sharp, sickle
shaped top fin cutting the water
like knife, tossing the spray, an
ugly and menacing spectacle. Still
the man at the rod reeled as he
never had before.

supplement what Mr.. Raven has said

There have been formed in our

out in "A great many directions and
very many miles from their location
for cream. These creameries are term
ed "~Centralizers.' Now the central

They IA operate in communities or
territories where it is impossible to
