Every launch was assigned a definite position which it was to assume at once and hold at all cost. The fleet was divided into three divisions.

"But do you mean that he was drowned?" I asked. "Faith, an' he was that, sorr complately." I promised Mr. McGrath that I would observe his instructions carefully, and that gentleman, after placing the rods, live-bait bucket, luncheon-basket and other articles on board, took his seat in the bow, and we proceeded.

I had a light split bamboo rod, a good silk line and a fair assortment of flies. Mr. McGrath had a common bamboo cane, a battered old reel, and the value of his outfit might be generously estimated at half a dollar.
