A Veteran American Angler. 
St. John’s, N. F., Feb. 1. — Editor Forest and 
Stream: A few weeks ago I came across an item 
in a local paper that will interest some American 
anglers. It refers to Charles L. Kennedy, an 
American citizen residing in Harbor Grace, 
Newfoundland. 
I have had the privilege of enjoying Mr. Ken¬ 
nedy's friendship for a number of years. He 
is a keen angler and his outfit is worthy of him. 
He has a camp built on a favorite pond, and as 
he knows intimately the secret haunts of the 
“big fellows,” he always manages to fill his 
creel. His ingenuity is displayed in his outfit. 
He has zinc boats that will carry him anywhere 
and his cooking utensils are marvels. He has 
a pie pan that he uses for carrying different 
kinds of grub in the various compartments into 
which it is divided. When he gets to camp 
and empties it out he can use it for a wader; 
if it rains it is used as an umbrella; if it be 
too hot for fishing it can be used for a sun 
shade, and it is a beauty for picking berries; 
at least these are some of the uses that his boon 
companions say that fall in the way of the pie 
pan. 
Apart from his'fish stories, which ar'e as pic¬ 
turesque as they are truthful, Mr. Kennedy is 
among the most respected citizens of Hr. Grac^. 
His word is his bond, as the saying goes, and 
no man in the city of his adoption is held in 
higher esteem by his fellow citizens and visitors 
from outside than Mr. Kennedy. Though he 
has a warm spot in his heart for the late Queen 
Victoria, and for the present King Edward, his 
loyalty to the Stars and Stripes is deep and 
patriotic. Generally he is the most genial and 
kindly of gentlemen, but if anyone dares in his 
presence to attempt to pluck a feather from the 
tail of the American Eagle he becomes like a 
raging torrent, and woe betide the poor Britisher 
who is unfortunate enough to come in his way. 
Mr. Kennedy is a smart active man, physically 
and mentally, and his numerous friends and ad-
