FISHING EXPEDITION. 161 



American angler, as there is no bolder or better fish, and its 

 haunts are of no difficult access. I learn that an English 

 yacht is already fitting out, in order to take the field against the 

 Sea Trout in the gulf this very summer ; and I doubt not that 

 ere long some of our New York clippers will spread their wings 

 in emulation of their brothers of the angle from the eastern 

 side of the broad Atlantic. I can conceive no more delightful 

 trip, no more exciting rivalry.
