“LEEDAWL” COMPASS. 
Fishermen, hunters, pedestrians, motor-cyclists, automobilists, travel¬ 
ers, tourists, boy scouts, campers, sailors, woodsmen, in fact, almost 
every one appreciates a good compass. 
The trouble has been that good 
compasses cost too much for many to 
afford and cheap ones were “trash.” 
The "Leedawl” Compass solves the 
problem of a guaranteed compass that 
will last a lifetime and is within the 
reach of everyone. 
Its jeweled needle, untarnishable 
silvered metal dial, heavy and temp¬ 
ered steel point, screw stop (no dirt 
or moisture can get inside with this 
style of stop), white metal case (which 
cannot tarnish) and snap-in beveled 
crystal glass, are special features which 
we would call to your attention.

GREAT FISHING OFF THE FLORIDA COAST. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Just outside of the mouth of the St. Lucie 
Inlet, in the Atlantic Ocean, there has been, 
keeping a school of Spanish mackerel, of a width 
of about a mile, and over four miles long, whose 
individuals in number no one has thus far at¬ 
tempted to estimate, but nearly every fishboat, 
cruiser and launch, for twenty miles of coast 
line, above and below the Inlet has been taking 
toll of this school, without lessening its numbers. 
The fishing has been done in motor boats with 
crews of three to a boat, one to steer the boat 
and two to fish, with lines about ten feet long, 
to which is attached a squid hook, and the work 
of fishing has .been to throw out this squid, haul 
it in and take the fish off the hook and repeat, 
all day long. 
The fish run in size from one pound to five 
pounds in weight, and the boats have been 
bringing to the fish houses, catches running from. 
900 to 2,300 pounds per boat, the catch depend¬ 
ing entirely upon the staying powers of the fish¬ 
ermen. An immense school of porpoises found 
the school of mackerel and scattered them. 
Never in the recollection of the fishermen of 
twenty-two years experience here, has such a. 
large school of the Spanish mackerel been 
known along this coast of Florida. But this- 
large school insures a catch of a few in the St. 
Lucie waters for weeks to come, and you can 
imagine my feelings, chained to the office, with 
important papers in a big bankruptcy case that 
had to be prepared, and no time to go fishing, 
until I got this work done, and now the por¬ 
poises have scattered the school.
