an earthenware crock, and are better on 
the table than the codfish you buy. We 
have often kept the September catch in 
such a way, so that we were eating the 
last of it the following March. 
Salt water bait is also a problem, be- 
ing heavy to carry and hard to keep. 
The most portable is squid, cut into bait- 
size and salted in a small friction top 
can, where about a hundred baits may be 
carried and they will last for a long time 
so preserved. Shedders are de luxe on a 
hiking trip, three or four of them being 
about the limit to add to one’s pack, and 
they will last much longer if you take a 
spool of cotton thread along and tie 
your bait to the hook. Sinkers are an- 
other heavy problem. One should have 
at least a dozen of them, 4 oz. each, so 
as not to run out of them in casting. 
For leaders we find that a coil of bronze 
picture wire, cut as needed to two-foot 
lengths, makes the cheapest and best, 
leader supply. Bronze three-way swivels 
and a package each of 2/0 and 6/0 hooks 
will suffice for tackle. The rod and reel 
make a heavy shoulder load, and, with 
the pack on your back you are off for a 
few day’s wandering along the surf. I 
have had very good success with the 
baker tent with mosquito blind sides, de- 
scribed before, in beach camping; also 
with a light pack-tent in which the pack 
is the floor when opened out, and a small 
tent for two, 4 x 7 ft. in size is raised 
up from it, with a gauze window and 
gauze door giving air in an otherwise 
closed tent of light paraffined muslin. 
This tent has a sill, which aids in keep- 
ing sand out when you lift your foot to 
enter. 
We take along about the same grub 
list and cook kit as on mountain hiking 
trips. Arrived at our favorite hole we 
pitch the tent as near high water as we 
safely can without being washed out by 
the surf, for the mosquitoes at night are 
much less numerous near the water than 
up in the dunes. A wind-break made of 
drift wood, and boxes in which to store 
grub, and a table for eating are next 
constructed, for you cannot set anything 
down on the sand without ruining it, nor 
eat without something raised off the sand 
to keep things like the sugar bag, the 
milk can and the butter from getting full 
of sand. A meal is then cooked and eaten 
before nightfall, for the fishing is best 
at night and begins at sunset. By nine 
o’clock it is pitch dark, and cold and 
windy, so a big fire is then built on the 
beach so you can see to cast and fix your 
baits and take off fish. This is kept up 
until about one o’clock, when we are 
ready to call it a day and retire to the 
tents. All work of preparation is done 
on them during the day, when the mos- 
quitoes are not around. For browse we 
have found the gray dune moss excellent, 
or, if near a bay beach, the dry seaweed 
that lines the shores is fine. 
A canvas water pail is essential on a 
beach camp, as one has to carry water 
from the nearest pump or life saving 
station. The mosquitoes subside at sun- 
up, which is a fine part of the day on the 
beach, and if “they” are not biting we 
generally get breakfast soon after. Dur- 
ing the day the fishing is apt to be poor, 
although i have had breezy days when
