 AT THE THREE COCKS START FOR A LOVELY

" Still fisheth he that catcheth one." 



Jacula Prudentum. 



July, 1902. 



URING my short vacation I may 

 truly be said to have had some 

 splendid hunting for fishing and 

 it has not been for want of activity 

 on my part that my hunting has, in one sense, 

 been a failure, though it has afforded me pleasant 

 occupation. It so happens that my headquarters 

 are situated many miles away from the abode of 

 trout or grayling.
