INTRODUCTORY. 11 
Another contingency that should be borne in 
mind when choosing one’s “get up” for a day’s sea- 
fishing far from the coast is the possibility of an 
upset. The limbs, the feet more particularly, 
should in no way be hampered, and the boots, or 
shoes, should be so loosely fastened, if at all, that 
a very slight effort will rid the feet of them. 
Personally, I do most of my summer boat-fishing 
bare- footed.
