man he wass fery nerrvous — he wass shaking like 

 the top of the rod — he would be thinking of the 

 way he wass losing the last one. — But I got this 

 fish aall right, — it wass one of those fairack, — 



and a fery fine fish it wass ; — old C , he wass 



chest as proud as Punch, and he says to me, 

 'What did I say, Angus, we would be getting 

 another chance yet? — Ye'll have to tak' a dram 

 now, Angus.' 



" ' Na, na,' I says ; ' it's a graand fish, but it'll 

 no bring back the one ye lost, whatever.' 



" It wass fery game that fairack, and it took 

 us a long time to land — by thaat time it would be 

 lence-time, and we cam' ashore. 



" It waas after lence when we got the second 

 fairack ; — the old chentleman, he wass for trying the 

 fly, — but I told him I would stick to the minnow, for 

 she wass taking fery well, and we would have had 

 two big fish aalready if it wass not for his tamned 

 foolish behaviour. 



" It wass no long indeed before I hookit the 



other fairack, and I told old C to take care 



of his watchgyard this time, for it wass a wonderful 

 chance he wass having to hook three big fish in 

 one day "
