On the Rideau River. the last place
on our itinerary, we tried for muskalonge.
but our success was unsatisfactory. We
had many strikes, but as that specie has
too tn troubles during July and August
they bit so lightly they escaped the barbs
of our hooks.
In one Instance I had on a musky OF
probably ten pounds almost ready to Ean
and swimming directly underneath tho
hsh I had on the hook-curious no doubt
to what was going on since my fish
had done considerable catapulting into
the air--was n musky that I estimate
as weighing thirty-hve pounds.
At the moment the hooks failed to hold
longer and both fish disappeared AT the
same region We caught many small
mouth bass, but unfortunately they were
under legal size generally, but wero
compensated, however, by catching splsn-
did strings Of fish which in Quebec Is
called "dore," In Ontario the ''pickereI
and in United States "wall eyed pike"

70 FIGURE SHIPS TONNAGE
Four riot!nct Methods Of Such calca-
lat;on5.

l1c.oN5.
There IL a great deal of confusion
in tho public mind regarding the ton
na-a or displacement of ships, and
with reed rccaon, for there are four
dict.nct methods of calculating ton
nae. In the case Of warships, the
te,la displacement is almost always
used The displacement tonnage is
the space occupied BY the vessel in
the water. The amount Of wctar dis
placed by tho ship is equal in weight
to the ship and G,l 1t contains. AS
one ton is equal to thirty-fiye cubic
fest CT water, the displacement ton
ma, G is found by dividing the number
of cubic feet of water displaced by
tt:..y-fivc when the ship is Immersed
up to It's load line.
Gross tonnage Is a term commonly
applied to merchantmen. In calcu
latlng it, the whole interior capacity
of the ship below the tonnage deck Is
found, including that of all covered
in spaces on deck used for stowagc,
and the result in cubic feet is diveti
ed by 100. Net register tonnage Is
the gross tonnage minus all the spaces
used for the accommodations of the
crcw and instruments ard the work
inC parts of the ship. The deadwelSht
tonnage is tho measure of the, exact
anou''t OF cargo n ship can carry will,
