CHAPTER IX. 



FISHING GOSSIP CONTINUED. 



WAS daily paddling about in my 

 coracle, but as my companion could 

 not always accompany me, I found 

 it a little too large and heavy, so I 

 had a smaller one made, which answered admir- 

 ably. ' I generally left it at some farm-house, 

 and when I wanted it had a boy to carry it 

 where I wished, which he would do for ten sous. 

 In my rambles I got near Bernaudet, on the 

 coast ; the river Odet, which runs from Quimper, 

 empties itself here. It is a beautiful spot, and 

 admirably adapted for yachting. Although it 

 is a very small, wild place, about six or seven 

 huts, yet there are some most beautiful places 

 round about.
