A FEROX TROUT. 



2 3 



rounds each of coffee and a large number 

 of " spuds." The cook had a lay off now, 

 and the crew washed the dishes. Then all 

 came ashore and got thoroughly warmed 

 up around the camp fire, before turning in 

 for the night. 



And so it went till the 10 short days had 

 gone by and we headed the little launch for 

 home. 



Owing to the special demand for bis- 

 cuits and slap jacks the baking powder 



ran out; but we found an able substitute 

 for it in the salt sea water, which seemed 

 to contain all the necessary ingredients to 

 make the dough rise, and the bread was 

 good. 



On the return trip one of the crew had 

 an attack of sea sickness and pleaded with 

 the Captain to keep the boat from rolling 

 so, but it was of no use and he did not re- 

 cover till we put him on the Tacoma dock, 

 and the cruise was at an end.

YOUNG BITTERN. 



* It is not known by whom this was cut. It was discovered about 3 years ago and was then black with age. It 

 is located in a ravine between 2 bluffs on the western shore of Lake Pepin, 2 miles from Lake City, Minn. It 

 may be the work of the Indians. It is life-size. 



A FEROX TROUT. 



GEORGE H. GORMAN. 



Aferoxtrout! Whiz! goes the reel. 

 Ah, what a thrill of joy I feel, 

 My faithful little bamboo bends 

 Until it almost touches ends 

 And reaches downward to my heel. 



In yonder bank he would conceal 

 Himself in moss, but as I kneel 

 And press him slightly, he ascends. 

 I have him now, behold my friends, 

 This lusty beauty, dainty meal, 

 A ferox trout!
