have been marked while in the

when returning to fresh water.
Usually q salmon goes back to

West opened the queen OF hearts,

Lclarer noted possible loser in each
suit, so had to find way to elimi-
nate one loser. A simple finesse OF
the club queen would suffice, if
East held the king, but South looked
for some additional chance.
He found it in the possibility that
East held either the king or the
jack-ten OF clubs. At the second
trick, therefore, he led low club
from the dummy and finessed the
nine.
AS it happened, that knocked out
VESTS king. West returned heart,
dummy winning with the ace, and
South promptly cashed the ace and
queen of clubs to discard the heart
loser from the dummy. Only then
was it time to draw trumps.
Note that East would not have
gained anything by playing the ten
of clubs at the second trick. South
would finesse the queen, losing to
Vests king. But on the next
club trick South would successfully
hnesSe the nine, and dummy's los
