Introduction by Dr. ffm. T. Hornaday 
From a collecting trip to the Far North for big game 
specimens, the author, J. A. McGuire, gives us some- 
thing of a real and lasting interest and information. 
Days with the packs on glaciers; climbs among the snow, 
ice and rocks for white sheep; long stalks in the timbered 
areas for moose ; aerial hikes on the rolling barrens for 
caribou; and climbing dizzy heights for white goats — these 
are all described with a precision and vividness that makes 
us wonder if we aren’t really participating in the trip. 
Handsomely illustrated from many photographs taken by 
the author.

kit, being a shallow pan about 9x7x1% 
inches deep, with a cover and aluminum 
handle which snaps over it. In sandy 
country one needs a grate to keep things 
off the sand level, for the wind is always 
blowing a lot of invisible grit along over 
the surface, which will land in any dish 
set down too low, and, even in pine for- 
est, one soon gets down to sand soil, 
where the least careless kick will send 
a spurt of sand into the food. I like 
the tin pails, for they are cheap and eas- 
ily carried, and all the smaller eatables 
go packed in the inside pail. The steel 
fry pan one cannot be without in a fish 
country, and the baker is the only one 
for this country, for the reflector baker 
is too open to sand drift. For a table 
set, a ten-inch aluminum plate, an enam- 
eled-wire cup, and knife, fork and spoon 
are all that one needs. You will have 
fish, clams and crabs to eat, so take along 
plenty of bacon for cooking grease; corn 
meal for rolling the fish in, making com 
bread and com mush fried; some light 
cereal, such as wheatena or cream of 
wheat, a tablespoonful of which cooks 
up to a meal for one. 
Also some pancake flour, white flour, 
a few eggs, rice, prunes, raisins, sugar, 
coffee, tea and salt; and maybe a steak 
to start off with. A couple of cans of 
condensed cream and a pound each of 
all the above is enough for a week’s 
cruise, and will cost about two dollars. 
About two quarts of potatoes and a quart 
of onions, with a dozen bouillon cubes 
for soups completes the list. 
T HE bass baitcasting rod is the best 
casting for bay tackle. You will need 
it, casting for bass and pickerel up 
in the freshwater heads of the estuaries, 
and, for bay weakfish it is fine, using a 
float with a hole bored through it, with a 
match-stick lashed on the line so as to 
give about the right depth below the 
float. Bay weakfish are shy of any boat, 
and so you cast this float out about forty 
feet and then pay out line so that the 
sinker will take the hook down vertically 
through the hole in the float until the 
stick brings it up. Weakfish strike so 
suddenly and must be hit so swiftly that 
there is no time to overcome the inertia 
of the float. When, however, he hits this 
rig he pulls the float down and when 
you strike you have a free crack at him 
pulling the line up through the hole with- 
out any drag from the float. As a sub- 
stitute for the usual cane pole it an- 
swers very well. For crabbing all you 
need is a fish-head and your folding 
landing net, which you will have along 
anyway for bass and pickerel. The lat- 
ter do well in these bays on artificial 
lures and all the headwater shores are 
plentifully supplied with lily pads. 
Clams can be had from the baymen, or 
you can tread for them barefooted, as 
they do. Adding some folding snipe de- 
coys and a light double gun, you are ready 
also for the flights of snipe, which are 
still reasonably plentiful in the wilder 
parts of the bay shore, along the ocean 
keys and along the surf. For combined 
fish and game, together with good sail- 
ing and camping, a canoe cruise in Bar- 
negat Bay in September is hard to beat.
