tive element, to drag out a pitiable existence, but leave him where he lies, to die-he is dead already— "For he is old and miserably poor!"
Two dozen in two hours we call fair sport, and we think they will average not less, Proctor, than a pound. Lascelles and North against any two in all England. We beseech you-only look at yonder noses. Thick as frogs-as powheads. There -that was lightly dropt among them -each fatal feather seeming to melt on the water like a snow-flake. We have done the deed, Proctor-we have done the deed. We feel that we have five. Observe how they will come to light, in succession, a size larger and larger, with a monster at the tail-fly. Even so. To explain the reason why, would perplex a master of arts. Five seem about fifty, when all dancing about together in an irregular figure, but they have sorely ravelled our gear. It matters not; for it must be wearing well on to eight o'clock, and we dine at sun
set.
on Larach-a-ban, steady, as if towards spawning ground in the genial month of August, but never again shall he enjoy his love. See-he turns up a side like a house. We shrewdly suspect he is pretending to be dead, and reserving his strength for a last struggle at the shore. Aye-that is indeed a most commodious landingplace, and the hypocrite, ere he is aware of water too shallow to hide his back-fin, will be walloping upon the yellow sand. A dolphin! a dolphin! large enough to carry on his shoulders a little green fairy aquatic Arion, harp in hand, and charming the Naiads with a dulcet song.
Why keep so far out from shore? We are not bound for Cladich, but Larach-a-ban. Whirr! Whirr! Whirr! SALMO FEROX, as sure as a gun. The maddened monster has already run out ten fathom of chain-cable. His spring is not so sinewy as a salmon's of the same size, but his rush is more tremendous, and he dives like one of the damned in Michael Angelo's Last Judgment. All the twelve barbs are gorged, and not, but with the loss of his torn-out entrails, can he escape dry death. Give us an oaror he will break the rope-therewe follow him at equal speed sternforemost but canny-canny-for if the devil doubles upon us, he may play mischief yet by getting under our keel. That is noble. There he sails some twenty fathom off, parallel to our pinnace, at the rate of six knots and bearing-for we are giving him the butt-right down up
"Hurra! hurra! hurra! Christopher for ever!" We look around; and lo! the Cladich breakfast-party waving their bonnets round their heads at our enormous capture. When they talk about it in Glasgow, it will be thought a ggegg. Let us weigh the monster-up with him by the gills-and fasten him to our pocket steel-yard. He had there wellnigh broken our back. TWENTYSEVEN POUND JIMP!!! Nay-naynay, boys-no crowning, no crowning of the old man. Yet, if you will have it so we forgive the enthusiasm of youth. That is classical, and with joy we submit our brows to the Parsley Wreath. All we want now is a Pindar. And nothing will pacify you, you madcaps, but to bear us, shoulder-high, up to Larach-a-ban? And you are so kind as to cry that bone never bore a nobler burthen? What will Lascelles say when he hears of our triumph! It will go hard to break his heart. No-he is a fine generous creature, we are told, envious of no other great man's reputation, though justly jealous of his own. O thou glorious setting sun! slow sinking behind the crimson ridge of old Cruachan, thou seemest to say in that solemn light of thine, celestial monitor
