The American Negro has again played his part winning

" 1923 the federal bureau Of Ash
cries spent $4,000, all It had for
the purpose. in rescuing baby
black bass from the river bot
toms, and sloughs of the upper Miss
issippi. between Rock Island, Ill. and
Wabasha. Mimi, a distance OF some
900 miles. With this money 1t could
cover only about 40 per cent of that
water area. Yet 1t saved no fewer
than 100000 Of these valuable lit
tie fish, reared by mother nature. to
produce which by fish hatchery
methods would have cost $16,000,000.
At this rate these fish were worth
to the country 40 cents apiece.
The bureau of fisheries, which is
not given to extravagant statements,
says that II it had the money 1t could
multiply this 100000 ten-fold In
the past six years the bureau has
rescued from this region 659,041, 900
game fish of various sorts. Planted in
other places, and allowing for natural
loss, IL undisturbed for two years,
these would have a food supply value
of about $1,soo,ooo.
There is q movement on foot to
drain these river bottoms and basins,
and there is an opposition movement.
Leading in the latter is the Izaak
Walton League of America, with its
hundreds of chapters, scattered
through over thirty states. Its views
have been embodied in bills submitted

Not only Is this region the greatest
natural nursery in the country for
small-mouthed bass, most popu-
lar of game fishes, for the capture of
which 80 per cent Of all articles OF
fishing tackle are made, but 1t is a
natural highway for migratory birds
and natural refuge for small fur

givings as to what the outcome
would be IL we remained in the
canoe. since the vortex Of the pool
was some distance away and the cur
rent round the point was not very
turbulent. At the most critical
moment one man lost his hold on
the shore and the pole of the other
broke; we drifted away rapidly. and
by the time paddles were brought
into play the current had taken
charge. and we were powerless
against il.
Round and round we went, padding
desperately In the hope that some ac-
cidental shift of the current might re-
lease US at the last moment. but the
circles we described became smaller
our motion more pronounced, our hope
OF escape less. No mercy could be
expected of our enemy the river. He
had us in his grip, and was not to
be CHI ated of his prey. We had de-
fed him too long; the penalty had now
to be paid.
For what seemed a century we bat
tied with the inevitable. all the time
getting sucked nearer and nearer to
the swiriing waters in the center of
the pool.
i was too intent on the struggle
even to think, but I saw everything.
A floating log, caught like ourselves in
the maelstrom. collided with us. and
the end had come. A lip of green
water curled over the edge OF the
canoe. the world spun round, up went
our bow in the air, and then packages,
paddles and men seemed to fall on
top OF me. The gurgling liquid closed

Moreover, no more beautiful region
exists In America than this, with its
bluffs. islands. heavy woodlands and
multitudinous channels Of pure clear
water.
Wisconsin,. one OF the states Dor
dering on this portion Of the river. in
1871, estimated the value of the game
fish taken by its anglers therein at
$2,126.0o0. while Minnesota, another.
made a similar estimate of $4,000, 900,
both at market rates. The value of
purely commercial fisheries between
Rock Island and wabasha Is esti-
mated at over 100000 a year. with
the catches OF commercially valuable
mussels adding another 100000, or a
total of over 100000.

their lives when my voice came from
above. "No, no; ret us go on higher
up the river for the night" They
certainly looked surprised, and in
Munoz's face 1 seemed to catch
shadow OF disappointment.
Without further ado 1 scrambled
down into the canoe; the rain had
once more started, and we crossed
over to the opposite bank to look for
| a suitable place to camp. Luck
favored us: a small but recently
made tambo was discovered on the
shores evidently made by the Indians
who had been on the warpath, as it
was not more than forty-eight hours
old. Hero we settled down for a. long
wet and dreary night.
1 at once questioned Munoz as to
what had happened. 1t seemed that
when the inevitable occurred all three
men had chung to the canoe like so
many leeches, and being thus buoyed
up had not been carried down into
the whirlpool, but had floated about
| mile downstream, righted the canoe
in a calm backwater, baled 1t out, and
picked UP several OF my belongings
which happened to be floating around.
Then they worked their way up
stream again in search Of myself, and
finding only my sun helmet had come
to the conclusion that ! was lost,
when I made the dramatic appear
ance just related.
1 should mention also that accord
ing to the direction / took with my
compass 1 sought TO have hit the river
at least mile downstream, instead
of which I came out within twenty
yards from where I had started in the
first place. It was three-thirty when
we struck the whirlpool, as my wrist
watch. which was full of water,
ceased duty at that hour, so I must
have been wandering about in the
forest two hours or more.
Before darkness came to our relief
and obscured the miserable river
from our view, I made a note Of the
packages that had been rescued by
| the men. Every particle of food had
gone-there was no need to look
| further; that one loss in itself would
| probably mean our returning to
Iquitos in the morning; It seemed in
evitable. The fortunes of our party
were certainly at a low ebb.
Discouraged at the sudden turn
events had taken, entered a few
bare facts about the disaster in my
diary. which luckily had been pre-
served in it's waterproof covering:
the date, of course, was the first thing
to write down, and so 1t began-Fri-
day, the 18th of September. Good
gracious" I exclaimed to myself,
"the 18th and a Friday at that. What
combination to please the super
stitious. No wonder we came to
grief. and yet Friday is my lucky
day
How could ! reconcile myself to
that? In thinking 1t over, I came to
the conclusion that my good luck in
getting out alive from the whirlpool
was greater than my bad luck in get
ting into 1t. and so my good fortune
predominated.
