A RACING SCOOTER 



line, and many a fish has been landed 

 in this fashion at the feet of the aerial 

 angler. Not the least entertaining and 

 interesting event is the hauling of the 

 surf nets. 



With a party of gentlemen I have 

 walked along the moonlit beach and 

 kicked fish ashore. It is a quiet night, 

 and whiting and ling are after the shin- 

 ers, which hang in close to the water's 

 edge. A whiting makes a dart for one 

 of these morsels, and finds himself left 

 on the sand. This 

 is where you wade 

 in with your rubber 

 boots and assist 

 him to where he is 

 easily taken. There 

 is a great fascina- 

 tion about the bay, a 



never-ending source of interest. Visi- 

 tors here breathe the air as if they 

 meant to store a quantity. Appetites 

 are ravenous, and the best of grub is 

 always at hand. (The baymen are good 

 cooks, and know how to cater to the 

 grub end.) Men used to down beds in 

 the palace homes of New York sleep 

 in any old place, get up and stretch as 

 they did when they were growing, 

 shake themselves like Newfoundland 

 dogs, and are ready for anything. And 

 I have yet to 

 m e et the man, 

 woman or child 

 who didn't ter- 

 minate a vacation 

 ion the Great South 

 Bay with a sigh of 

 regret.
