against the branches of tree that

The swirl was just across the

angle ready for another lunge When
the pike got within about feet of
the bass, his great body became elec-

brown hacker was swifter.

was too slow, for once again under

knifelike dorsal.
The pike was through, cut twice
in fatal spots. Blood streaming out
in great gushes, he made a feeble
attempt to get away. but was soon
belly-up on the surface, where it
was an easy matter for me to lift
him into the boat.
