co. Sligo, where there axe some lodges (belonging to the 
Hon. Evelyn Ashley) that can be taken by the month. 
The port of Arundel, without offering anything exactly 
brilliant in the way of sea-fishing, has at least Little- 
this advantage, that in rough weather there is hampton 
at times something to be done with the grey mullet 
from the quays. The grey mullet is, in fact, ¢he fish 
hereabouts, at any rate between May and September 
(October, in warm years), and the correct way of taking 
it is to moor your boat out by the east beacon during 
the neap tides at daybreak, that is, on the flood, and fish 
with a light paternoster of four hooks, baiting with the 
ragworm. ‘The boat is anchored at the bow and made 
fast aft to a tree between the last two posts. This 
worm may almost without fail be procured from Car- 
penter, one of the railway porters, who gets it from 
Ford. When the water is much disturbed, so as 
to prevent the mooring of the boat in the right way, 
anglers climb on the beacon itself, making the boat fast 
alongside, and using a long-handled landing-net. Many 
fish from the Beacon by preference in all weathers. Other 
spots for this mullet-fishing are the railway-quay, just 
above the higher ferry, the slaughter-house, just below 
this and also on the left bank, and the old hulk on the 
other side of the river. 
Next to the mullet, the bass is the most coveted fish 
of the Arun estuary, and it is angled for in a variety of 
ways, one of the most novel being that practised above 
Arundel when the spring floods have sent plenty of salt 
water into those reaches, the bait being a live roach 
or dace. E. Slaughter, of Market Square, Arundel, 
knows all about this fishing, and provides boat and baits 
for the day for 15s., which includes his own attendance. 
There are several Slaughters at Arundel, so be sure you ask 
for Edward. For the mullet-fishing in the harbour, I can 
thoroughly recommendG., Pelham, who owns several boats. 
The deep-sea fishing at Littlehampton is of no high 
order, the Kingmere Rocks, six or seven miles to the 
south-east being about the only ground; and even on 
these, sport is anything but certain. 
There is more than one tackle shop in the town, and 
at Arundel there are two, Pain’s and Tisdall’s. 
Not far east of Fowey lies the little Cornish harbour
