A confessed rogue, the captain imagined he saw in this handbill an opportunity of re-stocking his exhausted exchequer.
Any one who has the time and opportunity to rear his own fish will be amply repaid by the amusement and interest gained, and it should be the cheaper method of stocking or re-stocking a water. The same remarks apply to a certain extent to waters which will not support trout, or where the owner wants more coarse fish.
In April, no doubt, something may still be done, and in the silver twilights of June, when as you drift on the still surface you hear the constant sweet plash of the rising trout, a few, and these good, may be taken.

It is already dangerously late, but if the Government would turn-to now with a will, the situation could still be saved, and this unique chance for re-stocking our countryside would not be thrown away.
On the Wednesday strange new rumours began to circulate, and those who hastened to confirm them stood dumbfounded before great posters on all the shutters: CLOSED FOR RE-STOCKING A hurried emergency meeting of the Executive Sub-Committee was called.
