FOREST AND STREAM. 
wiiat was left of the stew for breakfast. We had intended 
to run down to Cedar Creek that night, so as to be on 
the fishing^ grounds early in the morning, but the gale 
showed no signs of abating and the drawbridge was 
impassable against such a wind and tide. At 4 A. M,, 
'however, when some one rudely awakened the Skipper 
by yanking him off the seat where he slept the sleep of 
the just, the conditions were more favorable, and after 
a hasty breakfast the Crescent was once more got under 
way and lieaded down the bay. It was almost 7 o'clock 
when wercame to anchor at the shell beds. This time we 
were after fish to take home, therefore they bit very 
.■slowly. After a time the Skipper discovered a reason for 
this in the fact that the fish were feeding on minnows 
at the surface, while we were fishing near the bottom. 
Quickly putting on a small float with 2 feet of line below 
it and a long white streamer of crab meat for bait, he 
made a cast, and in about two seconds was playing a 
lively weakie. The other fellows adopted the same 
method, and in an hour and a half we had boated some 
forty fine fish, including two hake which the Cook had 
enticed from the depths. We were much amused during 
this time at the antics of a little silver-sided fish about 
3 inches long which played leapfrog. Koons was fishing 
with a small, spindle-shaped float and the little fellow 
would leap over it and immediately turn and leap again. 
He kept this up for perhaps ten minutes, When Koons 
had a strike the fish would wait until he made another 
cast and then begin the game again. But now it is time 
to weigh anchor for the last sail, for the wind is light and 
railroad trains, like time and tide, wait for no man. So 
put by your faithful rods and hoist the sail and take your 
last look at the broad bay, the sand beaches, the light- 
house, the green meadows backed by the darker green 
of the pine woods, and whisper a prayer that you may 
live to come again next year. Then get to work and 
clean those fish while I hold the tiller and enjoy the 
sail. Now we are rounding Good Luck Point, the fish 
are all cleaned, the duffle is packed in that much-abused 
trunk and the end is near. Koons and the trunk were 
put ashore at the Island Heights Station and a little later 
we brought the Crescent up to Mr. Kirk's wharf at Toms 
River and left her. With many regrets we turned our 
backs on the happy, fr©e life of the past two weeks and 
took the noon train to town, with all that that means 
of drudgery, convention and commonplace. The cruise 
was over. ^ '
