406 FIFTY YEARS' SALMON FISHING &c. 



the party were Mr. John Manuel, 124 salmon; 

 Mr. James Law, 82; Mr. Thomas Peck, 72, and 

 Dr. Manuel, 64. 



On the 3rd July of that year, Mr. Manuel killed 

 his 18 salmon, but no other day of the season 

 yielded either of the Godbout anglers more than 

 10 fish to his own rod, that number being reached 

 by Mr. James Law on the 25th June. 



Mr. James Law killed the heaviest fish of the 

 Godbout season that year, one weighing 27 

 pounds, Dr. Manuel killing one of 25 pounds and 

 Mr. John Manuel one of 24 pounds. 



1897 



The Godbout was fished this season from the 

 14th June to the 15th July, but only three of "the 

 Lairds" spent all the intervening period on the 

 river, namely, Messrs. John Manuel, James Law 

 and Thomas Peck. 



Mr. A. C. Henry came to the river with them, 

 but left it again on the 26th of the month, and 

 Mr. McD. Paterson, of Montreal, arrived on the 

 28th June and stayed for the remainder of the 

 season. 



This was another year of pretty big fish for the 

 Godbout, Mr. John Manuel having to his credit 

 fish weighing 32, 30, 28, 26, 24 and 23 pounds, 

 Mr. Henry, one of 28 pounds, and Mr. Peck, one 

 of 27 pounds.
