Iornetlmes when you visit the hailing Pool no one is to be seen 'h it. or around it. It may even seem a lonesome place. It isn't. The truth is. the Smiling Pool is a most popular place. Seldom by day or night is there a moment there isn't sonietliiniz going nil in u- ground it, Of course, a number

And there are visitors every day. and some by night. liilly Mink drops in every once in a while. Longlegs. the (treat Blue Heron. comes almost every day to fish. At night his cousin.

For the following story. the writ- to Peter lnmaa. Mr. lnman was born in a log cabin at Argyle Shore where his father was engaged in fishing and

rm' farming.

At the age of 15 Peter left school

log lving partly in the water. Bob-ll" help lm D" nmnd their "in

hlttle fishing craft. "The little fish- erman." as he was sometimes cal- led. knew something about sailing before then; having frequently lioined the men when the fleet put iout to gather the harvest of the .sea. Once or twice when the ships Ihad been caught in a bad storm. young Peter had stood up and braced himself against the side of the boat. just like an old salt; and when she rode the crest of a large wave. or fell back into the trough of the foam. the boy would laugh heartily and exclaim. "What jolly fun we are having."

By the time Peter had turned 16. he was reckoned by all hands aboard to be a good aailor- "Some day." they added. ”yriu'll be one of the best fishermen in the waters of the south shore." The fact that he has intrusied with part of the tasks by his father, filled the boy's heart with pride. Speaking of those first l.'Xl'lCl'l('?nCeS, lnman said:

Once we'd reached the fishing grounds. we halted our lobster pols and then sunk them in the water. In those days we used wooden traps. several feet long. and often rectangular in shape. sometimes they were shaped like a half-moon, the flattened part being the bottom of the trap. ' I Acrosa one end of the pot. we stretched a net. while in the centre of the pot-we called it the parlor- hung the halt. The lobster crawled through an opening in the net to get at the bait: he never came out again on his own.”
