by H. T. Sheringham of The Field, Lon- 
don. Illustrated with many color

whites ^O.UU 
This is the first

America on the ac- 
tivities of the Pike 
family pickerel, 
great pike, and 
muske llunge. As 
Angling Editor of 
Outdoor Life Mr. 
Smith has been 
more questioned as 
to the identity of 
these fish than any 
others except the 
Western T routs. 
In The Book of the 
Pike he clearly ex- 
plains how to distinguish one specimen 
from another. And besides much nat- 
ural history and scientific information, 
there are many interesting 
anecdotes. Illustrated

day old moose track and those of numer- 
ous deer, in which latter I was not in- 
terested. 
We descended at dusk through one of | 
the rocky glens in which were set the ’ 
traps of that mighty Gaspesian hunter j 
of hear, old Uncle Peter Coul. 
But withal the absence of game signs ' 
it was indeed a day of exquisite joy and 
lingering memory; each change of ele- 
vation, each turn of mountain shoulder, 
brought new and ever-shifting scenes — - 
of deep-wooded glen or sun-flecked 
mountain slope, seemingly drifting like 
an unobstructed panorama of a mystic 
land below and around us, and mingled 
with the sense of entrancing beauty of 
the setting, the unbroken silence save 
for the soft padding of moccasined feet, ' 
and the never-ceasing tingling of alert 
nerves, at the ever-present possibility ; 
which each thicket might reveal. 
T he first dividend of our trip was de- 
clared when we reached our camp 
at nightfall ; Hilliard was our cook and 
a good one, and as we crossed the thresh- 
old of our camp, no aroma of viands of 
the elect was equal to that which greeted 
our nostrils; far back into the dim dis- 
tance of forgotten recollections was con- 
signed the jaded appetite I had but yes- 
terday nursed at some metropolitan din- 
ing table; partridge broiled to a turn; a 
couple of freshly caught trout from a 
nearby mountain brook; crisp, crinkley 
bacon; golden brown flap-jacks and that 
rare delicacy of the trail — the horror of 
the city stomach — thin slices of raw 
onions, all washed down with sundry! 
“kittles” of black tea; only he who knows | 
can appreciate and back into one’s veins 
surges the forgotten springs of new life, 
of youth once more. 
Ere the pink of the following dawn 
had touched the crests of the mountains, 
we were headed up once more on our 
mountain trail, over the) flanks of Lower 
Falls Mountain. It was a hard day’s 
hunt, twice climbing elevations of two 
thousand feet, covering three great val- 
leys. 
Only by a margin of a scant three 
minutes we missed contact with tw'o fine 
caribou bulls. Cutting in on their trails, 
where the saliva from their feeding was 
still warm on the frozen moss, we gave 
chase over a great slope of loose, ice- 
covered rock, falling away a thousand 
feet into the valley at an angle of forty- 
five degrees ; unfortunately the wind 
shifted to our backs and where the w'an- 
dering, ice-chipped trail of our quarry 
suddenly changed into great leaps for 
the cover of the inner valley, we knew 
they had caught our wind and we aban- 
doned the chase. We covered twelve 
miles this day, all up and down work. 
The next day was to be my last in the 
mountains, and on it turned the fortunes 
of the hunt; the hard work of the pre- 
ceding days had brought its reward in 
renewed strength and improved wind for 
the heaviest of mountain work on the 
morrow, and the dusk before the dawn 
found us well on our way up Big Berry; 
by mid morning we were passing the 
upper promontory of Flagstaff Moun- 
tain, a skyline landmark, visible for miles 
up and down the valley ; at noon we dry-
