REMINISCENCES OF “RAGGED ISLANDS” 
Continued from page 527. 
Bend, pulling him down from high up in the 
air with the big “eight.” Also the grass was 
all “tore up” in the deep water off the bend—a 
sign of canvas “using” there. However, we 
went to South Point, Davis to Gordon’s Bend 
and Bob Smith to Lane’s. We had hardly set 
out when the fog shut in so thickly we could 
hardly see the stool, and it did not lift till noon. 
This spoiled our morning redhead flight, and 
our bag that day was one redhead and one goose. 
“I wonder what Mr. Davis got at Gordon’s,” 
Howard remarked when we started for home. 
At the club house door both Davis and Smith 
met us, anxious to see our bag, and I glimpsed 
a poorly concealed grin when they saw its slim¬ 
ness. They followed me into the gun room with 
smiling faces. Ye gods! What a sight! Twenty- 
six “canvas” lay in state before my eyes. Didn't 
I wish I’d chosen Gordon’s Bend when I heard 
their story. Davis had had canvas falling all 
over his stool and had come home to lunch when 
the flight was thickest. Also he had done 
wretched shooting, though he had bagged six¬ 
teen. “Os” Moore who had been with him said 
that if Mr. Davis had not come home to lunch 
and done any decent shooting, he should have 
killed anywhere from fifty to seventy-five can¬ 
vas. Think of it! Bob Smith at Lane’s had 
picked up ten that had come to him from Davis’s 
flocks. I decided after that experience that choice 
of points didn’t always mean most birds.

At “Ragged Islands” I also had my first ex¬ 
perience at battery shooting. An outfit was al¬ 
ways kept ready aboard the “big boat,” a large 
open sloop or sharpie. It was seldom used, how¬ 
ever, except by a few of the club members on 
very calm days. One such day I determined to 
try it and had “Os” and Howard tie me out in 
the “flyway” between Cedar Island and South 
Point. There was not much moving except 
numerous bunches of “boobies” or ruddy ducks— 
“greasers” I believe they call them on the Ches¬ 
apeake. None of them seemed to fly my way, 
however, though I kept well down according to 
instructions from the guides. I constantly heard 
the whistle of wings, but when I looked up, the 
birds were always out of range. Finally Moore 
shoved up to me and said, “What’s the matter? 
Why don’t you shoot?” 
“At what? I haven’t had a chance.” 
“Yes, you have,” was his answer. “Those 
‘boobies’ have been cutting over the stool back 
of your head all the time you’ve been in there. 
Would you like me to try it for a little while?” 
I assented and “Os” changed with me while 
I swallowed some lunch aboard the “big boat.” 
He shot a number of times and on my way back 
Howard picked up thirteen “boobies” that had 
fallen to Oscar’s gun. 
The flight seemed to have ceased when I 
got in again, but after a long wait a solitary 
canvasback drake circled around the outfit and 
lit in the stool back of my right shoulder. I 
was not posted on the battery man’s trick of 
throwing his feet out of the box and spinning 
around on a pivot for shots of this kind, so I 
took a chance from my left shoulder which re¬ 
sulted in a cut lip and the escape of the “canvas.” 
We took up soon afterward, and I went ashore 
without killing a bird.
