is a way of dressing fish, which may be 

 resorted to by the side of the water with 

 pleasure (and not without advantage should your 

 stock of provisions run short) during the middle 

 of the day, when fish do not generally feed so 

 freely as at other times, and when your sport is 

 often improved by giving them, as well as your- 

 self, a rest. It is managed as follows : first collect 

 a lot of small dry wood and set it on fire ; when 

 a sufficient quantity of ashes has been thus ob- 

 tained, which will be soon done, take a sheet of 

 paper (an old newspaper will do) and wet it 

 thoroughly : shake the drops off it, and then, filling 

 the mouth of your fish with salt, wrap him up in it 

 just as he is, uncleaned, "simplex ^mmunditiis," 

 and digging a grave for him in your ash-heap, put 

 him bodily into it, covering him well up afterwards
