Our Latest Trip Up the State-NO' +
The writer intended last week TO
finish this narrative, and at least
give the people a rest for a while:
Sometimes we get into that spirit
when our minds will not grasp
thoughts as quickly as at other
times and we fail in every way 10
write intelligently or even IN an en-
tertaining manner.
But we must finish this story anu
so to that end we go forward 10
write the closing chapter OF our
wonderful trip.
We had arrived at the cabin ana
descended the many steps Whlch leu
from the summit of the hill TO tne
shore. and prepared to engage III
that sport for which we had come
prepared. ,.,-a
The ladies of the party were looKed
after first, as we have already salu
the day was one of the cold DAYS
we have often in the late spring ana
necessitated heat of some KIND 10
keep us warm.
The oil heaters, of which the CAP
in afforded several, were put INTO
commission, and soon we We're as
comfortable as could be expected,
Rut we couldn't hang around the
fire too long, as we had come TO hsh
and fish we must. We prepared ana
nnt in shape our rods and prepared
to make an onslaught on all meh-
bers of the finny tribe.
Mrs E. concluded it was too colo
for her to fish and she lowered over
the heater until our fishing was end
cd Our hostess concluded to pre-
mare and put in shape our noon uay
meal She was known as an expert
in rod fishing and had been known
to capture some very large pass
which inhabited the mill ponds OF
New Castle county. This only let'
Miss T., who seemed very anxious
tn try her skill at fishing against
those of the stronger sex and forever
to set at rest the assertion that men
at all times were superior to menl-
hers of what is considered the weak
er sex.
The bait was brought out and
when the angle worms commenced
to souirm Miss T. at once informed
those present that she knew the
nasty things would bite and refused
to touch them.
The gentlemen were compelled tC
bait her hooks.
With rod in hand she stepped Tor
ward to the front of the porch ano
nrepared to cast her line and hooR
far into the pond before her.
Tt was a mighty sweep she mad'
and succeeded in hooking her dress
at the back of the neck. OF course
we extricated her from her posltloI
and then with a swing that mean
something. and which caused al
nresent to run to cover she succeed
ed at last to implant her line anC
: hook within the confines OF th'
pond. We must say right here tina
Miss T. was a patient angler; W.
watched her for over an hour AM
not a single bite had been her luck
but she fished on.
While our host and the write
were under the cabin getting TN
boats out and in shape for anglini
for the larger fish, we heard on
veil from above and found Miss L
struggling with something tina
seemed to absorb her strength, Du
with a mighty swing she succeeded
in landing it; which proved to be
catfish about three inches long. Al
she was afraid to take it from th'
hook we came to her aid and sool
had her hook free, and threw tn
catfish overheard as it was voted to-
small to keep for food purposes, ant
she continued to fish until two small
sun perch swallowed her hook AM
which she landed on the front porcl
of the cabin. This ended the day
fishing for Miss T.
AS the time for the luncheon ha'
nearly arrived and the host and tn
( writer had everything ready to at
tack the larger fish and bring then
into subsection to our needs, boat
ready, tackle in prime condition, w
prepared first to eat luncheon fl
for a king. Sandwiches, made o
