This ardent sportsman, who assiduously plays for | salmon with the trplling line on Saa- nich inlet, received a tug on the line, | and almost simultaneously another ! |and more deliberate tug. The ine | | was hauled in and after a desperate | fight, the gaping mouth of a huge | ! cod appeared astern and the fish was | promptly speared, i The cod was of such a tremendous | size that he aroused the suspicions of the fishermen. It was ripped open and inside was disclosed a fine whole | salmon, weighing about 12 pounds. The salmon had gulped down the bait {and in turn had been gulped down by the hungry cod.

To-day the Scillles have some of the finest gardens in England. They furnish the London market with early vegetables, but even more im- portant than these products are the | flowers grown on the islands. The | air is warm and laden with moisture, | and from December to June most of | the inhabitants are occupied in pick- ing, packing and sending away the flowers. Great fields of narelssi aro | grown, the fuchsias, geraniums and | myrtles are said to become immense | in size, and roses bloom in mid- | winter. Even the hedges are made | of flowering plants. Fishing, the | occupation of the early inhabitants, still remains an important one, how- ever, for lobsters must be furnished | the London epicure. Only five of the islands are inbab- | ited--St. Mary's, Tresco, St. Mar- tin's, St. Agnes and Bryher -- and | Hugh Town, on St. Mary's, is the capital. Above this city towers Star Castle of Elizabethan days. Until the acquisition of the island | by the Prince of Wales they have been governed by a lord proprietor | since the time of Elizabeth. Though | the inhabitants of the islands have been greatly benefitted under the | system inaugurated by the last fam- | ily of proprietors, some peculiar in- | cidents of their tenure have been | told: It seems that at one time there | were people living on the Island of | Samson, but in order that the Scil- | lies would not have to furnish sus- tenance for many people, he- trans- | ported all the San:sonites, as well as | the poor of the other islands, to the | mainland, and it is said that his ten- | ants were allowed to keep only one | son with them. Consequently many | of the children had to be sent to | sea or to the sh'pyards, but those | who were left behind grew m | wealth, and the islands a prospered as a result of the intelli- gent despotism.
