THE SAILFISH.
Il Takes Great Skill to Land Him With
Reel and Rod.


The small number of sailfsh an
nually taken in Atlantic waters ia
partially explained by the uncer-
tainties and difficulties to be en-
countered in locating their pres
ence as well as the great skill, ex.
perience and endurance required ia
handling them with rod and reel.
Although infrequently seen near
the Florida keys, they seldom leave
the vicinity of the warm gulf
stream, whose waters approach
within five miles of Palm Beach.
One usually finds them on warm,
sunny days, swimming with their
great dorsal fins slightly out of wa
ter, and Immediately a school is
discovered all power must be used
to forge ahead of them, cross their
path a~hundred yards in advance,
then stop and allow the boat to
drift slowly, when a lively fresh
bait should be cast.
While they often strike at cut
bait or a spoon in trolling, they are
seldom well hooked, owing to the
peculiar character of their jaws.
As a rule they bite very quietly and
must be given thirty to forty feet
of line before striking, as their
mouths are small, hard and bony,
not unlike the tarpon in their in
ternal structure, and can rarely be
captured unless the bait is well
swallowed.
When hooked they create a terri
fc commotion, first endeayoring to
peel the most powerful reels in
their rushes, then making perpen-
dicular leaps in rapid succession,
clearing the waves by many feet,
trying desperately to shake out the
Laek and finally making long side
dashes just under the water, some
what like a kingfsh.
These movements are occasional
ly interrupted by low, rapid flights
just above the water, when their
immense sail seems to play its part
in aerial navigation.-Forest and
Stream.

No One Seems to Know For Certain
How Il Got That Name.

The simplest facts, quite unchal
lenged and taken for granted, are
often the hardest subjects for in.
yestigation. "Did YOU ever ask q
sailor or a know-it-all Wy the dog
watch is so called?" queries q
writer in the New York Sun who
has himself made the experiment.
The chances are that the answer
will be, "Why, the dogwatch is two
short spells from 4 to 6 and from 6
to 8 o'clock in the evening to
break the regular four hour
watches, SO that the same men will
not have to stand watch during the
same hours every day"
Simple and lucid. But why
''dogS" In a hunt after an expla-
nation the first question was put
to the officers mess of big battle
ship. Not one, from the executive
officer of a quarter Of century's
service to the ensign with his first
stripe, could answer.
A boats crew from the same
ship failed to throw any light on
the subject, although gunner's
mate allowed that ''it might be
they once had dogs on ship and
they was let loose when this watch
was OF"
An officer of an Atlantic liner
said he never had heard so silly a
question.
"Why, the dogwatch is the dog
watch" he explained. "There's no
why or wherefore about it. It's
always been the dogwatch, and it
always will be-"
Having had the matter so airily
disposed of by this officer, inquiry
was pushed to the East river, where
may be found men who have been
going down to the sea in real ships
for many years The pursuit of
the dog" was useless.
"Say," said a Harlem boatman,
whats the matter with trying
Fighting Bob?' If he can't tell
you the great American navy will
lose caste"
So up to Rear Admiral Evans
went the query. And from Fort
Monroe came the answer:
U. g. 8 Connecticut, Sept. q
Dear Sir-I am unable to give you the
information you ask about the dogwatch.
made two hours, but no one seems to
know why the name dog was applied.
Yours very truly R. D. EVANS.
At last a public library was re-
sorted to. The dictionaries were
merely provoking. Give Thou
sand Facts and Fancies" was the
only book found that threw hight
on the matter. Its explanation
reads:
'Dogwatch, a corruption of dodge
watch. The dogwatches we're intro
duced to prevent the same men
from always keeping watch the same
hours of the day; hence on these oc-
casions the sailors are said to dodge
the routine, or to be doing dodge
watch"
1t may be added that Murray's
great English dictionary gives a
quotation introducing the term dog
watch from a book published in
1900, but gives no theory of the
origin of the term.
