“That’s a real man talkin’,” conclud¬ 
ed Cap’n Ned, and the vote was unani¬ 
mous that he was right. 
****** 
But for all Cap’n Ned’s hospitality, 
our experience on the Ella May was 
a reign of unadulterated horror. We 
were off and away while darkness still 
brooded over the Island—on a boat 
which appeared to grow smaller with 
every mile we headed for the broad 
expanse of the open sea. There was 
reek of a hundred catches and smells 
which our weak, unaccustomed stom¬ 
achs could not endure. The mere 
whiffs of a breakfast cooking in the 
tight little galley sent Sonnyboy to the 
rail and me to a damp bunk below. 
Oh, there’s a vast difference between 
“amateur fishing” under ideal condi¬ 
tions, and the life out on an ocean 
which is friend of no man, when in an 
angry temper. A quarrelsome wind 
began to blow at dawn and kept at it 
until the hour of returning. It simply 
substantiated my life-long contention 
that a landlubber’s limit is a peaceful 
trout stream—such as we had found in 
the Pennsylvania hills out of Milford— 
the shifting greenery of leaves . . . 
the hot-house of a friendly forest . . . 
the drifting butterflies and the water 
insects . . . the fighting trout! 
They caught fish! The facts are 
hazy, but I dimly remember seeing nets 
swung aboard and of scuppers running 
with silver. 
But Sonnyboy was lost to conscious¬ 
ness of it and I was little better. When 
we returned, Mother said: “I told 
you so.” 
Very often Mothers are RIGHT!

Our return home brought me a 
sensation of imminent disappointment. 
. . . Fate was gripping me by the 
shoulder. 
“Your play days with Sonnyboy are 
reaching a close,” she had said, “this 
in his college debut. He’s off and away. 
You can have him a little while this 
winter on your Florida vacation—the 
doctor thinks it will be good for that 
trouble in his throat. Make the most 
of him, Father. Your ‘little boy’ has 
grown up. There will not be so many 
play hours , . . after NOW.” 
“But you must admit I ... I have 
changed,” I said. 
We were sitting on a lounge by the 
crackling grate fire. It was January! 
Her hand tightened over mine. 
“All Fathers seem to have to learn 
the lesson,” she murmured. 
And two weeks later, we packed our 
fishing tackle and our Winchesters, 
and headed southward, to the realm of 
a new Enchantment. I wanted Sonny¬ 
boy to catch some Tamiami black bass.
