ceived. One of them weighed three and a half 

 pounds and the other two pounds, and both were 

 caught together on the one fly! I could hardly 

 believe it! Have you found the "Siamese 

 twins?" I said to the Commander. On examin- 

 ation we found that the first one had been caught 

 in the corner of the mouth with the barb of the 

 hook protruding through to the outside. The sec- 

 ond one could see the fly and had probably come 

 for it too, and, in so doing, had got fast in the 

 barb of the hook, being caught near the eye. So 

 I consider it as quite a lucky cast, and are you 

 not, gentle reader, of the same opinion?
