fish of this kind that she had ever

her line Just above the bob and was
gone, bob, gear and all Several
times shortly after the bob was seen
to come 10 the surface and they tried
to row up to and catch hold of it, but
without success. Returning to camp
she was sorely disappointed to think
that she had lost her first salmon.
She had caught fine string of trout
but no salmon, and the party had to
leave that afternoon FOR home. One
of our guides. Mr.. L. o. Folsom jok-
inEly assured her that we would get
the salmon and send il to her.
Next morning the bob was seen di-
reCtly in front Of the camps and soy

but later in the afternoon it was again
seen and Mr.. Folsom took a boat
