A S we landed, and pulled up the 
canoe, there was a giant moose 
standing in the shadows of the for- 
est, looming huge, fantastic in the twi- 
light, his antlers spreading afar, his soft, 
pendulous nose questing our scent. Then 
as we moved, he silently faded into the 
shadowland of the forest, silently, miracu- 
lously so, while I went in to a warm' fire, 
to dream of the big salmon, and the big- 
bull, which last I hoped to see again when 
the day dawned once more. But before I 
fell asleep, I tucked a broken fly in my 
inner hatband, and reflected that if I 
had not had a big rod, I should have 
missed my ten minutes paradise with the 
big one, lost my salmon line or broken 
the rod. A broken fly is bad enough, but 
a broken rod and a lost line is worse. So 
when you go up Tobique, take the best 
camera, the best rifle, and the best rod 
you can get. The big stuff is there, the. 
real wilds are there. And in the next 
chapter you shall see that fact to your 
own content.

Mr. Shipley belonged to a family en- 
gaged in the fishing tackle business for 
more than a century, and he personally 
did much for the development of light 
tackle and its acceptance as the right and 
sportsmanlike thing. On the stream the 
observance of angling ethics counted for 
more with him than the overflowing bag. 
He was a real gentleman-fisherman, 
skilful to a high degree and considerate 
toward his companions and toward the 
very fish he sought; cheerful if the day’s 
trip brought no fish. He never sat in an 
automobile festooned with a big catch 
of bass or trout to have his photograph 
taken or held a string of fish at arms 
length in front of him to magnify it in 
the eye of the camera. 
Some years ago he spent a day along 
the Perkiomen, favorite water with him. 
The humor of the erratic small-mouth 
bass did not run to taking flies, and 
when quitting time came Mr. Shipley 
had not had a strike. As he sat on the 
bank packing up his outfit there was a 
rush of fleeing minnows near shore, and 
a two-pound bass, driving hard after 
them, landed high and dry almost at his 
feet. Mr. Shipley carefully restored the 
bass to the water and reported at home 
that he had caught nothing. 
His casting was easy, graceful and 
powerful. I watched him one day as he 
extended his cast to reach the spot where 
a bass had swirled. “How much line 
out?” I called. He glanced at his reel 
and replied : “Why it’s all out.” He was 
casting offhand seventy-five feet of line' : j 
and nine feet of leader.
