Genuine Sport Garments 
W ORN by hunters, trappers and 
fishermen, who know, because 
they are not only built on com- 
fortable lines, ■with all sportsmen’s con- 
veniences, but are made of the genuine 
north country wool which has made 
Patrick cloth famous. 
There is no other cloth just like Patrick 
cloth. It is essentially a north country 
product, made of the thick, warm, lonfe- 
fiber wool from “sheep that thrive in 
the snow.’’ 
The Patrick label is a sure iden- 
tification of these bi^^er-than- 
weather outing garments that 
resist wind, cold and moisture. 
Ask your dealer for them. If he does 
not handle the line let us refer you to 
one who does. Send for the Patrick 
Style Book, also for Elbert Hubbard’s 
book, “Bi^feer Than Weather." FREB.

at wild bifas passing close over at faB 
speed. Driving like bullets before the 
gale, ducks whisked past often without 
warning from behind, leaving us staring 
in open mouthed astonishment. Mental 
calculations of lead and swing were for- 
gotten in quick flashing snap shots at 
whistling shapes which tarried not upon 
the order of their going. Out of six 
chances, we found occasion to push out 
but once for two redheads which fell as 
our guns rang out together. 
Towards noon, five pintails swung in 
our direction, from the west. Twice they 
traced nerve racking great circles far 
out of reach before deciding to come 
within gunshot. Twice we gave them up 
for lost only to have expectations re- 
vived. We were muscle bound with ten- 
sion while peering through the thatch, 
before they made a third decisive circle 
and bent to decoys, long necks out- 
stretched. As two leaders crossed my 
sights, I snatched consolation for former 
bungling by dropping both with one shot 
and killed a third towering away. Re- 
venge was especially sweet because Pard- 
ner missed once and cut only an unsatis- 
factory tuft of feathers with a second. 
Midday brought its usual slackening of 
flight, though we killed two more singles 
at widely spaced in'tervals. Occasional i 
drifts of broadbill swung over the bay, or 
shifted in swift streamers, close above 
the waves. Low tide left shallow water 
which lay quieter and less uncomfortable 
on the flats. Hardier birds found refuge 
there. 
Battery shooting -was wind-blown im- 
possibility and no machines were set to 
drive them. Gulls circled high and wide, 
in apparently aimless manoeuvres, plum- 
meting down, occasionally upon some un- 
suspecting morsel. We took this oppo^ 
tunity to stoke the inner furnaces -wita 
lunch.

W ITH the tide shift, birds flew again, 
driven from shallows by new flick- 
ering whitecaps. Scurrying bands 
of broadbill flashed by at intervals, but 
their chosen courses carried them wide to 
other gunners, whose luck had placed 
them under the line of travel. Speeding 
down wind, those bevies of broadbill vol- 
leyed across those other decoys without 
thought of stopping. From where we lay 
some hundreds of yards distant, we com 
see vanishing smoke flashes and hit birds 
paraboling down, before the salvoed re- 
verberations echoed across. 
Our en'vious watch was interrupted 
when a weaving rabble of brant sent 
us do'wn, hidden low, as they waver^ 
toward our blind, chanting boasts of their 
species. Hot pulses of excitement waved 
over me and the cold ■wind-whip vanished. 
The flock, coming straight for our bob- 
bing decoys was lowering. Larger they 
came until lighter undertrimming marked 
clear against darker plumage. I gath- 
' ered my knees under me as the leaders 
down-bent necks betrayed a bit of rash 
inquisitiveness. Then gun-fire from 
those shooters below us crashed out. Our 
brant wheeled up and off, bearing no fur- 
ther injury than stinging stray shot rat- 
tling off hard feathers. While our eyes 
followed them into vanishing distance, we 
'found' Scant solace' in saying harsh things
