Down North and Up Along 
best of those on his table had weighed twice and 
three times that much before they were cured, 
so he said. He thought it a great pity that 
trout shrink up and lose weight so when cured. 
He had caught endless dozens of trout, the 
smaller of which he had sent to distant friends, 
but the largest he could not part with and kept 
their smoked and shining forms spread out on 
his table. 
From this time forth our peace of mind was 
gone ; we were the victims of the " gentle art 
of angling," and looked at the rushing brooks 
not so much to admire as to wonder about the 
speckled trout hiding in their pools. 
There are two Ingonishes. They are both 
accented on the last syllable, and are separated 
from each other by a long neck of land known 
as Middlehead. 
This neck cuts the broad bay, that would 
otherwise exist, in two, and forms the lovely 
South Bay and the almost equally charming 
North Bay. To go from one to the other, a 
distance of about eight miles, the road passes 
across the mainland end of the neck, and one 
loses sight of the water, though never far from 
it.
