58 APPOINTED GUARDIAN OF "GODBOUT" 



such times they appear restless, will not look at a 

 fly, but keep looking around, sometimes coming 

 to the surface and at others going to the bottom, 

 or taking a sudden leap. Near the western cor- 

 ner of the fall there is a steep cliff, with deep and 

 comparatively still water. By standing on the 

 edge of this rock I could see their movements 

 plainly, and watching for one of them to come 

 near the surface would take a header and try and 

 get hold of him. I did not have much success at 

 first, though sometimes I would feel one but 

 after some practice I managed to grasp one occa- 

 sionally by the tail, though I never succeeded 

 in keeping them more than a second or two. I 

 once repeated this performance at the request of 

 Mr. Charles Hallock, at that time editor of 

 "Forest and Stream."
