Enclosed find photos that were made at

rising. Game is plentiful here ; geese by the 

 thousands, with their young, and many 

 other kinds of birds. They are seldom 

 molested. 



I bought my Eastman Kodak from a

dealer here and find it perfect in every 

 way. 



Recreation reaches us at intervals and 

 is always a welcome visitor.

A FISH DUCK'S. BREAKFAST. 



Herewith I enclose 

 a photo of a fish 

 duck* and fish which 

 I shot last fall. The- 

 justice of the place, 

 Mr. Martin, and I 

 went out to shoot 

 some loons on the 

 river and, supposing 

 we saw a loon out 

 about 125 yards Mr. 

 Martin naturally took 

 aim at it with his 

 30-30. He missed, shot 

 again and missed, so 

 he told me to try my 

 luck. At my first 

 shot the bird turned 

 over. The next thing 

 was to get him. I 



climbed down over 



a cliff of rocks, got a boat, and went 

 after, him. To my regret I found he was a 

 fish duck. Inside of the wound, which can 

 be seen at the root of the duck's neck, the 

 gills of a large fish were visible. I took the 

 duck to shore, we pulled the fish .out of the 

 wound, and found it to be a bass 12*4 inches 

 long. The duck had had this black bass in- 

 side of him completely out of sight and 

 was swimming around as if he had not had 

 anything to eat for 2 or 3 days. 



Recreation is the best magazine pub-
