water which never ceases to excite
admiration from the "iandlubber."
When nearly FIVE miles of water
had been cleft through by the cut

voted as the correct place for all
well-disciplined fish to rendezvous.
so the anchor was dropped, tackle
made ready and all was set for the
joyous sport that it is-fishing.
Save for a slight ripping the
water of the bay was motionless.

in the bottom of the boat.
Provocative of much laughter
and bantering was the capture Of
"toadish." that persisted until the
last line had been hauled in by the
party.
For several hours the party en-
joyed the pleasure OF "a good fish
ing grounds" for indeed the bites
came steadily and the catch be-

feet epidemic of bites kept each
member of the party busy and un-
communicative. When the numbev
of fish was large enough to be
called enough" all lines were
withdrawn and the start made for
the landing pier.
With a slow but steady put-put-

propelled the craft through the
waters Of the bay toward the An
napolis shore.
Upon the party's reaching shore

Academy buildings and surround

with the hunting, the party started
on the return trip. and the surprise
of the day came at this juncture.
Norman Chambers declared that
the Overland. because of the, pat
ented "Triplex springs" could
Climb" a curbing without jolting
the occupants of the car. Hardly
had he made the assertion than it
was accomplished. for he had
driven the car to the right, in an
abrupt turn, mounted the curbing-
and not one member of the party
felt even the slightest shock. 1t
Felt just as though a slight road
depression had been driven over.
Several times this experiment was
made and each time demonstrated
more surely than before-that the
Overland is a car of absolute COM
fort. 1t was obvious to ali in the
party that this feature of the Over
land construction must certainly
lengthen the life of the vehicle, for
it absorbs every jar and jolt in the
road and permits of unusual COM
fort.
The return home was even more
comfortable. perhaps, than the ride
up. for the sun had now struggled
its way through the fast disappear
ing fog and the bit of chilliness
that had been in the air had gone.
With the same restful. buoyant
riding qualities the little motor
hummed its way along the beauti-
full roadways that are skirted with
fields and wooded places, where one
sees Nature. garbed in summertime
radiance and beauty. and feels her
lure.
II 1t can be said that there is a
motor that gives 100 per cent serv-
ice, comfort and durability 1t is
the Overland. for II can be attested
by all members of Tuesdays party
that the Overland Four door is
