: Here are proper fish" he e:

sorts of fish? Potted, sailed, c

fast; tell me how they are to b
caught, and l will tell you hoy
they are to be cooked"
oh! III catch them fas
enough" he replied, and dartet
off to Rock House.
While | vas still puzzling m,
brains as to how l should set t.
work, he returned with his fish
ing apparatus in hand; a boy anC
arrow, and a ball of Irvine.
AT the arrowhead he had fast
ened a barbed spike, and had Sc.
cured the arrow to the end of the
string. Armed with this weapon,
he advanced to the rivers edge.
His arrow flew from the bow,
and. to my surprise, struck one
of the largest fish in the side.
Help, father. help!" he cried,
as the great fish darted off, car
rying arrow and all with it; "helpl
or he will pull me into the
Water?"
/ ran to his assistance, and to-
gether we struggled with the finny
monster. He pulled tremendously,
and dashed the water around him;
but we held the cord fast, and he
had NO chance of escape. Weaker
and weaker grew his struggles,
and, at length, exhausted by his
%exertions and loss of blood, he al
lowed us to draw him ashore.
He was a noble prize, and Fritz
and Ernest, who came up just as
we completed his capture, were
quite envious of Jacks success.
Not to be behindhand, they eager
ly rushed off for weapons them
We were Don all in the water,
with a harpoon, Ernest with
4 rod and line, and | myself, arm
ed, like Neptune, with an iron
trident, or more properly speak
ing. perhaps, a pitchfork. Soon
the shore was strewn with a
number of the finest fish
monster after monster we drew
land. At length Fritz, after har-
booming a great sturgeon full
light feet long, could not get the
ish ashore: we all went to his
,ssistance, but our united efforts
we're unavailing.

torn was harnessed to the har-
Don rope, and soon the mon
trous fish lay painting on the
and.
We at length, when we had
aptured as many fish as we could
ossibly utilize, set about clean
lg and preparing their flesh.
