FOREST AND STREAM

May, 1920 
enced the novel sensation. Who knows 
but the stargazer was the forerunner of 
the submarine boat and torpedo shooter! 
The fishing at the Inlet was incom- 
parable so far as variety and the size 
of the fish were concerned: grouper, ca- 
valli, sea-trout, bonito, channel bass, 
drum, tarpon, jewfish and numerous 
others, all game and ready to take the 
angler’s lure. I took ten species on arti- 
ficial flies of various kinds and sizes, 
most of them made for the occasion from 
plenty of material at hand. All the fish 
taken, however, if not needed for the 
camp or for the settlers, were put back 
into the water unharmed. One day I 
was witness to the most beautiful sight 
I had ever witnessed in connection with 
the finny tribe. There had been a storm 
a day or two before, and while sitting 
on the beach near the Inlet watching 
the huge combers rolling in with the flood 
tide, the crests of the waves were above 
me before they broke on the shore. 
Then as a crest seemed to stand for an 
instant, I could see silhouetted against 
the eastern sky, in the beryl-green water, 
the forms of fish as they swam toward 
the Inlet. Fishes of all proportions, 
from jewfish to pilchard, with fins ex- 
tended, all going in the same direction, 
a marine panorama or an Ocean-wide 
aquarium. 
WILDERNESS 
DWELLERS 
(continued from page 260) 
From time to time a deer, coming full 
into our scent, stood “whistling” and 
tapping his dainty foot at our nearness. 
THEN WE CAME UPON OUR FIRST 
BIG BULL. 
W E had been told to look out for deer 
and moose when we came to the 
abandoned lumber camp at the 
end of the three-mile trail, and we were 
looking out. The trouble was we had 
never been on the trail before and did 
not know exactly where the old camp 
was. So creeping along we eagerly 
watched every turn and twist, and after 
all, missed the important point. I 
stepped out around a bush that grew well 
into the trail, and there he was, looking 
right at me! 
In an instant I swung my camera, but 
the light was too weak for a snap shot, 
I needed a time exposure. As I paused 
with the camera pointed, and my hand up 
in warning to my mate on the trail be- 
hind me, that big bull came trotting right 
toward me! 
Now remember this, — we had no guides 
and no weapons, — and that bull was not 
fifty feet away when he started to come 
in on us. My heart went up in my guzzle 
and still I made up my mind to let him 
come, I would have a photo of some sort. 
So I bent to the camera, slipped the 
focus down to twenty feet, and held 
ready for him to come out in a spot of 
light. In the meantime flashes of excite- 
ment were going up into my brain. Those 
huge antlers seemed as big as a double 
bed, and the odd, awkward-looking trot, 
with the click of hoofs came right on. 
Then suddenly, just before he got in the 
— the
