CHAP. xx. Smaller Order. 321 



one pattern, as they would be if two or three chums ordered from this 

 book, it will be found that they are very much alike, and that it is 

 no easy job to tell the several joints one from another, when starting, 

 perhaps somewhat hurriedly, for the day. It will save you some 

 trouble, and cost nothing comparatively, to have your initials cut small, 

 at twopence a letter, on every joint of every rod, and on every winch 

 you possess, and marked pretty large on the rod partition bag. Thus 

 you will always be able to pick out your own property at a glance, and 

 will not get in exchange a carelessly put away rotten line, or your 

 friend's top with a bad warp in it from ill-usage ; or, still worse, give 

 him yours, or exchange tops, that when you are a mile apart, and putting 

 them up at the river's side, are found not to fit into the second joint ! 



For those who wish me to indicate a minimum economical kit, I 

 will extract from the larger order the following :
