THESE are pictures of some of the whiskers that 
cluttered up the scenery when grandma was a girl. 
When such whiskers frightened children and caused timid 
maidens to shudder, men had a reason for shunning 
the razor, or for shaving only in spots. 
They had nothing then for making such lather as ismadeby

bottled goods and picnic luncheons, and 
after awhile, when the boatman has cast 
anchor, you bait with the torso of a 
shedder crab and catch the succulent 
flounder. 
“I esteem the succulent flounder—nay, 
more, I esteem him highly. He is built 
flat on one side, practically ready to be 
served. Having hooked himself with 
little or no assistance from you he comes 
cheerfully up out of the salty depths, 
making no unseemly resistance about it; 
and then all you have to do is to elimi¬ 
nate a few of his superfluous details 
with a sharp knife and crown his low. 
retreating forehead with parsley and 
slap him into a pan.” 
One day last year in Jamaica Bay, a 
fisherman seeking flat fish was asked the 
difference between a flounder and a 
fluke. 
“Well, you see, it’s this way. One 
has teeth and the other ain’t got no 
teeth.” 
“Which has teeth, the fluke or the 
flounder ?” was asked. 
“Well,” said the fisherman, “I can’t 
just tell until I take them out." 
It is one of the remarkably strange 
things of nature that when the flounder 
is young it swims in an upright position, 
as do all other fish, but when maturity 
develops, it becomes top heavy, falls over 
on its side and its existence is passed as 
a flat fish. 
Chatting some years ago about floun¬ 
ders with Kit Clarke, who was then in 
his eighties and who liked to take a row¬ 
boat and fish for flounders in Jamaica 
Bay, he remarked to the writer: “Na¬ 
ture moves in a mysterious way. When 
the flounder falls flat the eye on the 
under side of the head is transposed 
to the upper side of the fish near the 
other eye where they always face the 
light. The process by which this strange 
change is accomplished has never been 
discovered by scientists and is a marvel¬ 
ous instance of nature’s operations, for 
while the fish usually rests upon bottom 
it can readily swim about in any depth.” 
Our salt water bays are literally paved 
with flounders and it does not require 
much knowledge of angling to take them. 
No fish are really stupid, however, but 
the flounder, unlike the weakfish or 
striped bass, pays little attention to the 
manner in which the fisherman rigs his 
line, so long as the tempting bloodworm 
or sandworm is there for his benefit.

I N the cold bleak days of February, a 
duck gunner, Arthur Greatrex, be¬ 
came marooned on Black Wall Bar ir 
Tamaica Bay, a barren island from 
which he was rescued after three day: 
when his people and others were worriec 
about his disappearance. But what hap¬ 
pened to Arthur was this; He found < 
snug hut and blankets, food enough tc 
last a week, and firewood, and while ar 
aeroplane circled around to drop food tc 
him, Arthur was “living the life o: 
Reilly.” One of the New York news 
papers called him the hero of Blacl 
Wall Bar. But what was Arthur doiiq
