" I suppose it does go by much quicker with you, 

 sir, than with us up here in the woods. Are you 

 going to try the tuua this year! There were lots 

 of them last August in the Gasp Bay. If you 

 should get one of six hundred pounds you might 

 enjoy the sport more than salmon-fishing." 



44 Am quite sure I never could do that, Bercha- 

 vais. Mr. Heckscher, who came up with me, has 

 brought a tuna outfit, and may try for them, but I 

 doubt if I shall; I prefer keeping to my dear 

 friends the salmon, rather than forming new ac- 

 quaintances who might make me trouble. Have 

 you seen any salmon in the pools near the club- 

 house T" 



" Not to-day, sir; but yesterday O'Neill saw two 

 jump in the Tent Pool and one at the lower part 

 of the Rock" 



44 That is good news, even if we do not get any." 



" Oh, but I think you will have some sport to- 

 day." 



" Let us start, then, James, and see if we can cap- 

 ture some of these newly arrived friends." 



In an hour's time the Tent has been thoroughly 

 whipped, and two fine fish twenty-nine and 

 twenty-six pounds are left in the icy water, tied 

 to an aider on the bank, to be gathered on our re- 

 turn at night Both sides of the Rock Pool are 

 now tried, and away down on the right a thirty- 

 one-pound fish is killed.
