SEA FISHING 

 appear to have had with the help of Mr Ross, must have done much to 

 draw attention to the possibilities of the sport, and those who have caught 

 tarpon in British waters may like also to pursue the tuna without paying 

 for the somewhat costly hospitality of American railway companies and 

 hotels. The expenses of a trip to Gape Breton, with a fortnight on the 

 spot (which, in the event of either failure or success, will be enough for 

 most tastes), need not exceed £75, which, as big game fishing goes, is a 

 very moderate sum. Moreover, with the advantage of all that Ross has 

 learnt from both failure and success, a unique knowledge which, having 

 stayed and fished with him, I can assert that he puts most ungrudgingly 

 at the disposal of other sportsmen, it is no longer so hopeless a game 

 as it was even three years ago, and the capture of a single tuna like his 

 should be well worth the money.
