THE STRIPED BASS 



beats against the shore. Clad in warm and water- 

 proof clothing, and provided with all the needful 

 appliances for the capture of his mighty prey, he 

 braves the elements and patiently endures the long 

 struggle for the sake of the highest trophy possible 

 outside of the salmon regions. Blow, ye winds! 

 Roar, ye surges! The stout heart of the angler 

 courts and defies your threatenings, for here revels 

 wild life and matches its cunning against man's 

 strength and skill!
