each cormorant knows its own number, and is 
dropped into its place according to seniority. 
They are most jealous of their respective places, 
and if anything goes wrong in the matter of 
precedence or etiquette, a great cawing and 
fuss ensues, which never stops until the matter 
is put right to the satisfaction of all parties. 
The patriarch cormorant of each boat is a very 
solemn old bird, with a great sense of his own 
importance, and is colled “Jehi.” He has many 
privileges, which he takes care are not en¬ 
croached upon, being fed and put into his bas¬ 
ket first, and dropped into the water last. We 
found this out by questioning the “kako” of 
one of the boats, through Mats. We also 
gleaned that they were caught when very young 
by placing a wooden image in the shape of a 
cormorant near a spot on the coast which they 
frequent, and smearing lime on the neighboring 
rocks and branches, and that they were easily 
trained and worked well for fifteen or twenty 
years. 
To return. Attaching ourselves to one of the 
boats, we drifted past the town, and rows of 
illuminated houseboats, filled with the elite of 
Gifu, who had turned out to watch the sport, 
and enlivened the scene with singing and 
samusins—a sort of Henley a la Japanese. By 
dint of much bribery we prevailed on the 
ballet-dress man to allow us to enter their boat 
and take a cormorant apiece. The birds refused 
to work for a strange hand at first, but at length, i 
driven by hunger and the blandishments of 
“kako,” they began diving. 
We didn’t meet with much- luck. H. got 
one good fish, but my bird preferred small ones, 
and only went for those that would slip easily 
down past the ring into his inside. 
In the midst of some exciting work in a place 
full of fish w-e were taken a rattling pace under 
a wooden bridge, and my cormorant passing on 
the other side of a pillar, we had to separate. 
I was anxious about him, and was beginning ; 
to inquire in broken Japanese the cost of a ' 
drowned cormorant, when, a quarter of a mile 
below, Mats appeared on our houseboat, which 
had become unattached at the same bridge, 
grinning all over his face. 
“I have catch two big fish,” said he, and ab¬ 
solutely refused to give up the cormorant till 
threatened with the “kako’s” bamboo and the 
stoppage of a week’s wages. 
It was no good though; my bird, just for 
spite, began to entangle himself with the other 
lines. H. was faring little better, so we gave 
them to their master and went ashore. We \ 
found we had drifted down about four tpiles, ' 
and by the help of Mats we made out that it 
was not a good night for the sport—that only 
about seven dollars’ worth of fish would be 
landed by one boat; but that on a good fishing 
night every boat would take from fourteen to 
fifteen dollars’ worth, i. e., forty or fifty pounds . 
of fish. 
We tried hard, but failed to find out what 
species of fish they were, for Mats was ignorant 
and unintelligible on the subject. All we could 
get out of him was, “I know quite well what 
they are exactly; they are the same fish you 
have in your river in England.” We had some 
for breakfast next morning. In flavor they re- i 
sembled trout with a dash of smelt, and were 
excellent eating.—County Gentleman. 
A STRANGE FISH. 
A Newfoundland paper says: Thomas 
Ennis, of Merasheen, caught a fish while out 
trawling codfish on Saturday, the like of which 
the oldest fishermen in the place have never be¬ 
fore seen. It was captured in three lines of 
water, weighs 180 pounds, and resembles a cod¬ 
fish, with this expection that it is almost per¬ 
fectly round, has a very small tail with a dorsal 
fin running the whole length of the fish. Ennis 
is preserving it in salt and will bring it on here. 
All the fish laws of the United States and 
Canada, revised to date and now in force, are 
given in the Game Laws in Brief. See adv.
