We reached Ste. Ann bay about =
a m. and commenced trolling. About
IL a. m. we sighed large school OF
tuna about halfway up the bay. After
about half an hours vigorous rowing
we managed TO get the baited hook
lust in front OF the school. Although.
after you have FISH hooked. you are
kept busy all the time. and have
plenty OF excitement. still really
think the most exciting part OF tuna
fishing is Just before the strike. and
as you strike. There must have been
at least 90 tuna In the school. the
leader of which was a monster. prob
ably weighing anywhere between 900
TO 500 pounds When the boat was
about 100 feet in front OF the school
they all seemed TO see II at once, and
disappeared from the surface. only to
reappear In n moment when the lead
or was only 20 or 30 feet from the
hook. at which he took n wild plunge
over the surface. As struck. which
did as soon as I felt the line tighten.

have hooked that big leader"
As soon as he felt the hook strike

water. and. although ! do not suppose

era. even II we had had one. because
as soon as he had made this Jump, he
was of in a mad rush with the line
going out at a tremendous rate. even
against two OF the brakes. with which
the reel was equipped. When 250
yards had left the reel It looked des-
perate. as he was still going as II he
were bound for Newfoundland for a
record SO Immediately threw of the
brakes and gave him slack line.
After throwing of the brake i'm
mediately reeled in. and as soon as he
felt the tension again he started an.
other run. but this time II was to-
wards the dory, and had to reel in
like mad In order not to give him any
slack line. At last the shoal water
which he approached drove him up.

informed Charlie that this fish would
never be landed. but decided that as
long as the weather remained nne.
and until was exhausted. / would
hold on and see whether II was possi-
BILE in any way to tire him out
We then signalled the launch which
had been following US. but keeping
good three-quarters Of mile away. to
send the dinghy with some lunch
They had evidently been expecting
this signal. because in a very Few
minutes We were pleased to see the
launch go ahead OF US. and parallel 10
the direction We were taking in order
that when the dinghy was dropped
they would only have to row to head
us of. as no ordinary rowboat could
catch us as long as the tuna towed
without altering his course When
the boat came alongside. which II
could only do when the tuna was tow
ing us straight ahead. Charlie grabbed
the dinghy by the gunwale while the
man in the dinghy dumped our grub
aboard. II the FISH does not start to
raise Cain We generally let the other
boat stay alongside in order to give
him an extra load TO tow.
At the end OF an hour and half

launch. being told that the tuna was
approximately 175 yards ahead OF us,
proceeded to run in front OF him. and.

With this particular fish the launch
did not have much effect. except to
make him swim deeper. and then he

generally inside the outer island tCi-
bou island). but occasionally we went
beyond the islands. sometimes to the
north side OF the bay and sometimes
on the south side.
At $50 n. m. when had had the
rod for about 19 mortal hours. my
hands and arms were aching so that
I was forced to give II up; but before
doing so asked Charlie II he would
like to take turn at the rod. He
took the rod for 20 minutes. and dur
ing that time twice pumped the fish
to within 10 feet OF the boat. drove
the wedge in the brake. but, as be-
fore. the Ash took the line out again
at will.
again took the rod for about Is
minutes. and at the end of that time.
a little after a. m. cut the line and
let him go.
We went aboard the launch-I turn

shall confne myself TO Nova Scotia
and particularly TO the east coast OF
Cape Breton. where the two places
that I have fished for tuna are sit
uated, namely. Ste. Ann Bay. and Mira
Bay. The former place is about IS
miles northwest OF Sydney by water.
and the latter place is approximately
25 miles southeast OF Sydney by rail-
way. Tho outer bay at Ste Ann is
about seven miles long by six miles
wide at the mouth. but there are two
islands beyond tho southern promon-
tory at the snorth tcapo Dauphin)
that really make this bay almost two
miles longer. There Is also at Ste.
Ann a beautiful inner harbor with
plenty OF water and good anchorages
very well sheltered. The channel en-
tering this inner harbor Is well buoy
ed. with spar buoys. and has about II
feet OF water at low tide (the rise
and fall of the tide here is about 4
feet).
Three years ago hooked 81 fish.
but during that season ! was only
using a No. "a and No. Sc line. and
did not have strong enough reel
There were only three fish that held
longer than 20 minutes-one for s
hours. one for 10 hours and one for
13 hours.
The year following. though had
only four or five days fishing. I hook
ed 13 flsh. From my experience with
these tuna last year I came to the
conclusion that unless the fish were
hooked properly II was hopeless to try
TO land him. BY not being hooked
properly. I mean hooked in the corner
OF his mouth tor in any way except
fairly in the upper jaw).

PROVISIONS HAVE TAKEN
A SLIGHT SLUMP

Economical housewives, who have
been steering shy OF cookery that re-
quircd large quantities of butter and
eggs. need not be SO careful now as
these articles are not so high priced
as they were a few weeks ago F-om
selling at forty-five cents a dozen
eggs have dropped during the last
cents a dozen and the best butter
has declined from forty-five cents to
thirty-fve cents a pound. or two
pounds for sixty-five cents. The
warm weather may not be as good
for fruit trees as some of our orch
ardists would like. but it has brought
the price of butter and eggs down In
hurry. The scarcity of both eggs
and butter was the cause of the hign
prices that obtained during Decem-
Der and the earlier weeks of January
but the spring-like weather that has
more recently prevailed has calsed
the hens to lay more eggs and the
depreciation in the price of hay and
other foodstuffs has resulted In the

the decline is not likely to be very

little lower. A great many articles
OF general consumption are slowly
, going down in price, much to the
qualification of people at large.
