John was inordinately eager to demand 
what they were doing up Turner’s and 
why they came to Chokoloskee at all. 
Their looks were certainly against them. 
Indeed, he shivered with apprehension 
when his father nodded assent. They 
were to have traveling companions now 
and John was far from favorably im- 
pressed. Hendry, rolling the drums of 
gas into position, stopped long enough 
to grunt and to stand with a frown on 
his usually inscrutible, indian-like face.

HENSHALL 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 277) 
It bites freely, but makes little resistance 
when hooked, reminding one of the crop- 
pie of fresh water. It is usually infested 
with a parasite, an isopod crustacean 
about the size of a finger nail, and re- 
sembles somewhat the terrestrial “sow- 
bug.” This “sea-louse” is found just 
under the gill-cover of the spot, but it is 
not at all detrimental to the fish as food. 
At the time of which I write the spot 
was very abundant about the old whar\'es 
of Baltimore harbor and bait was very 
handy. For that matter one might fasten 
his boat to a wharf timber, take a 
shrimp from one of the piles, place it on 
his hook and cast it a few feet beyond 
to open water, when it would at once be 
taken by a spot which was waiting for 
just such an opportunity, and so on ad 
libitum. The weedy fiats and channels 
of the estuaries near Baltimore, at that 
time abounded with the fishes mentioned. 
A boy near us, who was also fishing 
for spots, broke his hook on a submerged 
timber and was lamenting his loss as he 
had but the one. I looped on another and 
smaller, one. The hooks we used were 
“flatted,” that is, the end of the shank 
was flattened and spread, so that a line 
could be netted on and would be firmly 
fastened. We did not use snells as these 
fish saw only the shrimp bait and did not 
consider the rest of the outfit. 
The boy was quite grateful for the 
fish-hook, and invited us to go with his 
father, who was a market fisherman, on 
his trip the next Saturday and see the 
big seine hauled. Accordingly we left 
home at daylight on the appointed morn- 
ing, with luncheon in our basket, and re- 
paired to Bailey’s wharf, where we found 
the fishermen folding the two-hundreJ 
yard seine on the stern deck of a large 
batteau. The boat was propelled by long 
oars, or sweeps, the men rowing stand- 
ing with a large live-box in tow. The 
fishing ground proved to be a smooth, 
clean shore of the Patapsco river. As 
the boat was rowed the long seine was 
paid out in a circle, with the ends near 
together at the starting point. The work 
of hauling in the seine was very labori- 
ous, and taxed the strength of the men 
to the utmost. As the spread of the great 
net constantly diminished we could see a 
great multitude of fishes leaping in every 
direction in the effort to escape. 
The novel and strange sight was one 
of much interest to us, and as the bight 
of the seine grew smaller and smaller it 
seemed to us as if all the fish in the riv- 
er had been captured. Then the men
