anglers, our excited friend " holding on " in the boat, over 16 

 feet of water, in the manner described. If you will kindly do so 

 and keep our excited but worthy brother clubman in your eye 

 for a short period, Mr. Hopper will partake of his supper and 

 tell you in his next notes what happened, and how much it 

 (the barbel not the supper) weighed, and also give you some 

 other angling lore.
