this includes the wages of the men but not their board, which 

 you have to provide. The accommodation consists of a saloon, 

 bedroom, and lavatory, with fore and aft cabins for the men. 

 The saloon, of course, becomes a bedroom at night. The 

 small yachts have simply a cabin, and forepeak for the man, 

 and the larger ones have a lavatory in addition. Their hire 

 varies from four to six guineas a week, including man. 



If, however, the angler does not care for a floating home, 

 but prefers to take his ease at his inn, there are several good 

 places where he can do so. It will be convenient to follow the 

 lines of railway in our enumeration of these. The lines to 

 Yarmouth and Lowestoft skirt the Yare and Waveney in a very 

 convenient manner. Starting from Norwich and alighting at 

 Brundall Station, you find within a stone's throw lodgings, boats, 

 bait, and yachts at Flowers' boating station. This is not, how- 

 ever, an inn, as it is not licensed. Coldham Hall Inn is half 

 a mile lower down the river, and proceeding a mile further 

 across country you cut off the loop of river which encloses 

 Surlingham Broad and find yourself at Surlingham Ferry Inn. 

 At both the last-named inns fair accommodation may be had. 

 The next railway station is Buckenham, and the inn at Bucken- 

 ham Ferry is generally the most favoured by anglers on the 

 Yare. The next station is Cantley, and the ' Red House ' is a 

 comfortable inn enough and is much frequented by anglers. 

 Below Reedham the inn accommodation is limited, and from 

 here to Oulton there is no place where accommodation can 

 be relied upon, although quarters may be had at the Bell Inn, 

 St. Olaves, near Iladdiscoe Station, Irum which place Fritton 

 Decoy, a large lake lying between Yai mouth and Lowestoft, 

 may be fished. 



At Oulton there are two good inns, the chief being the 

 Wherry Hotel, kept by Mason, and the other the Commodore. 

 The following tariff of charges at the Wherry Hotel will serve as a 

 guide to the general cost of inn accommodation in the district : 



Bedroom and sitting-room with spacious balcony overlooking 

 the Broad, 2/. per week ; a more retired sitting-room with
