hour.
We had neglected to provide bait 50 as

Under the bridge we were able to obtain
worms and. therefore after finding tin
can the whole crowd began 60 dig.
Within fifteen minutes we had enough
bait for the mornings fishing We then
hurried up the creek and under q clump Of
trees we set our lines.
one Of the boys soon after began yelling.
I've got a bite" and for the other boys
to come and help pull it out. So we AL ran
to his assistance. and after much strug-
Cling pulled IN large catfish. IL was a
prize one, indeed.
But this was rot all. -Four more good
sized fish were caught by the other boys.
We were beginning TO feel hungry by This

Just as we were ready TO sit down IL
began 10 sprinkle and blow. Hurriedly we
picked up the things and ran 10 neigh
boring farmhouse. There we ate what was

we returned home TO have our catfish
weighed. II was an eight-pound fish and
one Of the largest that had ever been
