127 Franklin St., New York. 
yards of line were out before I could induce the 
fish to turn, and then he continued to put up a 
fight which did the greatest credit to his size. 
Twenty minutes later he was on shore, an 18- 
pound mahseer. E. had caught a 3-pounder, 
and was getting further offers, so in went the 
wagtail once more. For a few casts nothing 
happened. Then came a most terrific tug, the 
kind that gives one to smile most furiously. 
But alas! a run of 50 yards saw the end of my 
great hopes, and I reeled in to -discover the 
bait was minus the top treble. 
Thinking to give the place a short rest, the 
shikari started to row me forth in the mill 
boat—kindly placed at our disposal—my idea 
being to try for the monsters one could see 
from above in the broken waters of the fall. 
But this scheme turned out to be impracticable, 
owing to the terrific wind caused by the falling- 
waters against which it was impossible for one 
man to row. Another factor of discomfort was 
that in two minutes we were soaked to the 
skin. So, skirting the fall, we pulled across to 
the opposite bank, from whence I discovered a 
ledge that ran about 20 feet above the water, 
continuing right in under the fall. At first the 
going was easy and one could walk upright, but 
later the rocks got so slipery that only at a 
crawl could one advance at all. Wet through 
already, crawling through pools was only a 
slight additional discomfort. Luckily the shelf 
sloped inward, otherwise the risk would have 
made the game not worth the candle. The 
shikari had considered it in this light since the 
beginning, and had respectfully declined to ac¬ 
company me. 
Arrived under the fall, which splayed out an 
opaque white wall some 20 feet away from the 
face of the cliff, I assumed the least precarious 
position possible and started to fish. Casting 
was impossible. All I could do was to dangle 
a spoon, dragging it about from side to side. 
Almost at once a 5-pounder shot up and 
grabbed it, and was with infinite difficulty 
dragged willy niffy up the faqe of the rock. 
Elated with success, down went the spoon 
again, only to be seized once more. This fish, 
which was something over 15 pounds, however, 
had matters all his own way, and I could only 
hang on tiff he tired himself. Since there was 
no puffing a fish of this size up to the ledge, a 
toilsome crawl was necessary back to where in 
the far distance the boat lay waiting. But the 
difficulties were too great and before half way 
was reached, I was so weary and bruised, that 
1 was hardly sorry when the trace parted and 
the fish departed, spoon and all. On my return 
to E., I was glad to find that he had been in 
luck, as two beautiful fish of 34 and 24 pounds 
were held up to greet us on arrival. Then once 
more I had a bit of bad luck. 
After half an hour’s play, a fish hooked out 
in mid-stream, where the wagtail disaster had 
occurred earlier, was drawn in toward the bank, 
a beauty lie was, too, well over 30 pounds, and 
aparently quite done up. The only place to land 
him was a small rocky bay with about a foot 
of water. Both the shikari and Cooly tackled 
him instantly, but the latter faffing foul some¬ 
how of the wire trace, produced the catastrophe. 
The fish plunged and the trace snapped, the next 
few minutes resolving themselves into a wild 
scene, in which two frantic men and an equally 
frantic mahseer disappeared into deep water, 
the two former to emerge dripping, the latter, 
alas! to be seen no more. 
The next morning when E. and I again 
arrived fuff of hope at the Turbine House, our 
hopes were rudely dashed by the color of the 
water coming over the faff. Evidently there 
had been a heavy storm in the night, away up 
in the ghauts, and the pool was rapidly becom¬ 
ing its usual pea soup red, nor were any fish to 
be seen. For an hour we tried out in the boat, 
as near the faff as we could get, but except for 
a 20-pounder which I got second cast, we never 
moved another fin. This fish ran out over 80 
yards of line straight down before he stopped, 
and probably then he was nowhere near the 
bottom of the pool. The river remained unfish- 
able after this, tiff the monsoon set in fairly.—
