AMONG FLY WHEELS
OF MOSQUITO FLEET
Fishing Again
It wa* estimated that at loa*t
seven million eight hundred thou
sand and ltfty-*even aalmon wore
caught tho drat two daya of the week
whon the big atorm waa on. It wa*
Idoal woathor for fishing ? around
a good, hot atove. For a time. In a
local resort, I ho flsh were belli*
caught so fast that there were flah
scales all over and tho floor got so
slimy that It was hard navigating.
With the wind whistling out
side, many of tho flshormen winter
ing In Douglas wont trolling, Kill
netting and trap- fishing, and made
some wonderful catcho*. Some won
derful Ilea were also told. Ananlaa,
that grand old man. was shaded so
that he looked like a piker.
Kvcry kind of Imaginable bait
? from trained herring to snuff ?
was used to lure the king aalmon to
the spoon. Weights of sinkers were
discussed and quarreled over; styles
of spoons decided upon, and favor
able locations for fishing picked out.
Some of the greatest hot-stove
fishermen In the world winter In
Douglas. They can catch more flsh
In one good night around a Btovr
than all the canneries In Alask# can
pack. One thing about the Indoor
meets Is the comfort in which they
are held. No gas Is consumed by
tho power trollors or glll-nottera
and there is no back-breaking labor
for tho hand troller, and yet the
flali are landed with great regularity.
I'sually the sessions do not start
until rather late In the winter, as
when the fishermen romo In from
their fall flahlng trips they aro
usually so fatigued and disappointed
that they do not express any opin
ions for a time. When they do start,
however, they are regular go-getters
and the truth never bothers them.
If the snuff and cigarettes hold out
they can flsh all night if some one
will attend to the work of keeping
fuel in tho stove.
Bystanders who are not of the
elect have to keep a good look-out
during the conversations or they
will get lilt by the flopping tails of
the salmon as they are landed. If
an outsider should happen to ven
ture an opinion on Ashing or any
other subject under the sun his life
would not bo worth a pluggel nickel
as they can put up such an argu
ment. backed up with figures, dates
and statistic* that he would be
swamped In a very few minute*.
There is a kind of freemasonry
among all fishermen that causes
them ? no matter how they may
light among themselve*? to unite
igalnst their common enemy, the
outsldor, and when they all turn the
full broadside of their talk against
that outsider he might Just as well
duck for cover.
Lone Fisherman Disabled
Tho ferry boat lxme Flshermnn
broke down while near Mayflower
island on her 6 o'clock trip last Sat
urday evening. A broken tall shaft
was the cause of the breakdown. The
vessel whistled for help and tho Karl
M.. Capt. Joe Manley. wont to her
assistance and towed her to Juneau.
Back in Commiuion
Capt. Tom Ne?a. after having had
his halibut boat Emma on the ways
at Juneau doing considerable work
on her In the way of alterations, put
the boat In commission the middle of
the week. The Emma now looks con
siderably different since having had
an extra hoard put on the hull to
give her more freeboard.
Capt. Ness will leave Immediately
on his first trip to tho Ashing banks
since last fall.
What Would You Dot
A young man has *ome to call on
a young woman and they are sitting
somewhat stiffly In the parlor, wait
ing for the mother to come down and (
act as chaperon. While they are
waiting the young woman's nose
begins to bleed and the young man.
who remembers to have heard that
a piece of cold metal applied to the
back of the neck will stop tho
trouble, looks around the room for a
piece of cold metal. He sees a key
In the door, and in his ombarraas
ment he lock* the door In gcetlng
the key out. He applle* the key to
tho young woman's nock, but Jujt
at that moment the mother come*
down and. finding the door locked,
demands entrance. In his excite
ment the young man drops tho key
down the young woman'* back.
The question I*, what would you
do If you were the young man??
