TELLING FISH-STORIES. 



lucky angler had from losing his prize just as the guide was netting 

 him, are points which must be rehearsed over and over again. Could 

 one-tenth of the fish-stories which have thus been rehearsed around 

 this famous old fire-place in Camp Kennebago be put on record they 

 would make a book which would throw far into the shade any volume 

 of piscatorial experience that has ever yet seerf the light. Hefore 

 eleven o'clock, the weary anglers are all in their beds, and the camp 

 sinks into a silence which is undisturbed save by some obstreperous 

 snorer, at least until daylight the next morning, when some fisher- 

 man who has had poor luck the previous day starts out with a des- 

 perate determination to retrieve his fortunes by testing the virtue of 

 early fishing. 



A tour around the upper end of Lake Mooselucmaguntic discovers 



a number of snugly constructed buildings, some owned by private 



parties and others by members of the Angling Association, who spend 



ral weeks consecutively at the lake during the fishing season.
