A GAIN and again we were in among 
them. Once or twice we had an- 
other fish on, but only for a mo- 
ment, and suddenly they vanished. They 
just dove down in the shimmering deeps 
and left us there, wondering where they 
had gone. Some summons from their 
commander perhaps had sent this glitter- 
ing army of pearl-gray warriors deep 
into the tides that swirled around Indian 
Island and Campobello’s ragged rocks. 
Then I saw why my sick friend of old had 
raved about the gray army of fish in a 
rainbow sea. 
As we lay off the rugged islands of red 
stone, crowned with feathery spruce and 
fir, the sea growing calm under the fog 
wreaths, a huge whale rolled up so near 
us that his blowing made us jump, and 
the long heave of the water from his 
sides rocked our tiny boat, as he dove 
again. The fog closed in once more and 
we lay in silence profound, watching the 
clear tides swirl beneath our boat, watch- 
ing while schools of herring passed and 
passed in their pilgrimage. The shrimp- 
hoppers of the sea had gone and with 
them the schooling pollock, but as we 
pushed our way quietly through the fog 
with the sun shining overhead and the 
rippling waters clear as crystal below 
our keel, we saw just for an instant what 
he of old had seen when the vision of 
it lightened his hour of pain. One more 
school rose below us, and as we drifted 
on in silence, the sun was just right, 
shining through the whisps of fog and 
sparkling on that crystal pure water 
where the huge fish leaped in spray and 
we saw a myriad tiny rainbows of opal 
mist and for another instant saw the 
gray army glistening in the light amidst 
a sea of a thousand tiny rainbows. Then 
they vanished. The “sea geese” and gulls 
flew in flocks for the spruce crowned 
rocks, and we, eating our lobsters now in 
peace, sped home to the purr of the motor 
and the memory of a great day’s sport 
in the tides of Fundy, off Campobello’s 
lovely shore.

in the Gulf of Mexico which harbored 
untold thousands, and yet, although 
they were not molested, I seldom saw 
one in daytime.” 
It would take many pages to describe 
the nightly bombardment of the two 
weeks that followed. Finding that pic- 
tures taken in the same spot meant many 
duplications in coon portraiture, we tried 
each night to select some new place, and, 
by arranging the bait differently, thereby 
obtained a greater variety in position 
and surroundings. 
The day before leaving camp my guide 
and I endeavored to arrange for a con- 
cluding picture that would be in striking 
contrast to all the others. A thread 15 
feet long was baited every half foot with 
cheese, and one end was suspended from 
the upper half of a maple tree. A fish- 
duck, shot for the purpose, was made the 
final goal at the end of the string. The 
result of this experiment is shown in the 
final picture of this coon
