ADVENTURES IN 
COMRADESHIP 
(Continued from page 215) 
J E were awakened at sun-up by the 
y Captain. And as we walked out 
the dock, two surprises were in store: 
storm had passed and a clear, balmy 
' was in the making—but the boat 
t had been on the bar was partly sub- 
rged. She had shifted and keeled 
r, shipping water. It would take 
)ert hands and great patience to float 
again, with the tide propitious, 
t was then that Captain Jim developed 
'xpected cleverness. We had another 
ss of grouper, which we shared with 
• taciturn “guests,” whereupon the 
p’n suggested that we had best turn 
neward. 
vlethodically he baled out the “Lu- 
tia,” raised her sail, for the wind was 
ht to blend gasoline with some pretty 
fs, and put everything in apple-pie 
ler. 
All aboard as is goin’ aboard,” he 
led, jubilantly, echoing the call of the 
iany boats. We clambered onto the 
k, Sonnyboy holding the Red Snap- 
with a great show of pride. The 
ee men looked down upon us, in sur- 
se, from the dock. And, all at once, 
;ame to them that they were not to 
< along. 
Say,” the big man in the golf suit 
mted, his face carmine, “you ain't 
ng to leave US here on this darned 
ely island, are you ? Our boat is un- 
r water and there’s no way for us to 
it off. What’s the big idea?” 
ap’n Jim stood erect, at the wheel, 
had cast off, and the “Lucretia” was 
[ fting away from the dock. 
( Sure, we’re goin’,” he retorted, 
hy not?” 
But what of US?” the other growled. 
And then Cap’ll Jim let ’em have it, 
I ! force, as a gale snaps through rig- 
g. He told them what he thought on 
subject of sailfishing —of willful 
ste—of unsportsmanlike methods—of 
ft poiling the waters of a species al¬ 
ii dy too rare—of deliberate, sinful, 
sed and inexcusable practices that 
uld soon deplete the waters of many 
i and beautiful fish. 
!'hat lecture lasted ten stormy minutes 
ing which the Captain talked a 
aam as steady as anything the Gulf 
; to offer. The three guilty reprobates 
k their medicine—there was nothing 
i for them to do. 
\.t last Cap’n Jim gave his ultimatum, 
s, he'd take the fishermen back to 
uni, if they would promise him, on 
ir individual oaths as gentlemen, that 
y would never catch more than one 
fish each, to a trip—that is, to keep 
m out of the water until they were 
■j d. They must keep to a sort of 
ligious quota.” And they promised— 
j kept them there, desolately pacing the 
: k, until their faces sobered and their 
It 1 quivered and they meant every word 
; y said. After which, Cap’n Jim 
i light the “Lucretia” around on the 
iid, took the three of them aboard, 
1 we returned to Miami.

T HE air is heavy with the clean, 
sweet scent of pine. The pipe is 
going good, and you’re off to an early 
start. The “Old Town’’ skims along. 
It is the lightest canoe you ever pushed 
over a water trail. And on the carry, 
too, you glory in its lightness. 
For an “Old Town Canoe” is the

steadiest canoe made—and the lowest 
priced. $54 up, from dealer or factory.
