pI'RSER AND ENGINEER
 WRANGI.E OVER SKILL
But Pretty Woman in Engineers Boat Prevents Fish From
 Biting.

Pursrr Morgan of the steamer Engineer Raymond. of the same boat. also i> an ardent fisherman and has prstrrnd his shipmatns with fish stories until finally match was ar ranged bptwcc Mr. Raymond and the nurser. to see who was the champion
 Both parties have many friends aboard who naturally were drawn in to the controversy. the feeling run ring so high that it got to be impos- ,ibe to serve fish at the tables with out calling forth flood of reminiS- censes about the large fish caught at various times by the steamship men.
 At Latouche recently the question was settled for once and all, al tho the genial engineer has protested the verdict and will try to arrange another match. The purser hired a small launch and buying several var ieties of bait and other impedimenta hied him forth to cast his line in div CTS and sundry places along the shores of the island. The Chief. scenting good fishing ground also chartered boat and. unfortunately was accompanied by a bevy of passengers, who took ad- vantage of his popularity and good nature to thrust themselves upon him. They fished and fished some more, and when the boat blew her cast-otf whis- tie they returned reluctantly to the boat and called the angling stunt off. Purser Morgan had one fish: at least men experienced in piscatorial pur- suits said it belonged to the species Pisces. while Chief Engineer Ray mond had nary a bite. He now claims the contest was unfair because he was handicapped by the women, while the purser insists that a good fisherman would have never taken the women in the first place. The contest is still on and if chance presents itself ano- ther match will be pulled off.
