in time watching a bunch of a dozen or ! 
more turnstone seeking their early meal ' 
just at the water’s edge not forty yards i 
from our camp. They probe in the sand ; 
and flirt the small bits of shells and peb- ' 
bles to one side most dextrously, seem- i 
ingly never a thought of fear, and I walk ' 
slowly a dozen steps nearer in the open i 
and one or two eye me rather suspicious- ; 
ly, but continue the search and I step | 
slowly away. Fleeting bands of the tiny i 
silvery white “peeps” go up and down the | 
beach turning and twisting as if impelled | 
by a common thought. These are the lat- ' 
est to leave us, of the “shore-bird” group : 
of migrants, in the springtime, remaining 
on into June and are among the very first i 
to return in the fall and yet in the brief 
interval have made the long, long jour- 
ney to the bleak arctics and return, bring- : 
ing with them the young family which ; 
has there been reared. Who can tell of 
the tremendous power that draws as aj 
magnet, true as the compass, year after" 
year, impelling these hardy midgets to, 
brave such a journey? 
The fishermen are not hurrying. The ? 
tide will not be favorable for their work| 
for several hours and for some time yet, 
I will be unable to cross the shoals on! 
the homeward trip, so we dally over the 
meal and gossip of the world’s happen- ; 
ings. A 15-mile pull in a heavy fishing- 
boat under the most favorable circum- 
stances may not be the most enjoyable!! 
entertainment, but given a hard wind that 
becomes a gale and add a tide running 
out when you wish it was rising, and the: 
combination is not pleasing in the con- i 
templation and quite strenuous in the ex-j 
ecution. 
The trip to the mouth of the river was ' 
along a comparatively lee shore, except^ 
as the various bays and streams gave 
freer access to the fierce, quartering 
wind, but the last seven-mile stretch up 
our home river was about the limit for 
the old stager and the more than three ^ 
hours necessary to pull it was the crown- 
ing effort of the trip ; but lightly won 
pleasures are often the least appreciated 
and the little outing to Shell Point is, 
none the less a red-letter day for the 
extra exertion to complete it. 
A FISHING HANDBOOK 
T he Abbey and Imbrie Catalog of’ 
Fishing Tackle for 1922, which hasj 
just come to hand, symbolizes the long; 
experience of this company in the manu- 
facture of fishing tackle, with an illus- 
tration on the front cover showing a 
tall-hatted gentleman of the 1820 period 
fishing from the bank of the Hudson. 
Out in the stream the steamer Clermont 
is side-paddling its way up the river. 
The house of Abbey and Imbrie was es- 1 
tablished in 1820 and they were the first ji 
to make their catalog something more j 
than a mere list of goods. The 192Z ' 
edition contains a number of articles ou| 
angling methods, with particular refer-’ 
ence to the tackle that is best for eacF' 
kind of fishing. A charge of 10 cents h , 
made to cover part of the cost of printingj 
and mailing, and it may be had by ad ' 
dressing them at 97 Chambers Street* 
New York City. *
