ANGLING FOR SWORDFISH
Special Ale Mall Service)
London, Jan. 29. The waters of beautiful Cape Brett, are world-famous for their swordfish.
Members of the Bay of Islands Sword-fish and Mako Shark Clup at Russell include Englishmen, Americans, and Germans.
There is one Londoner, Mr. H White Wickham, who rarely misses his yearly visit to the fish- ing grounds. The Mako shark of 798lb caught by him five years dgo took him nearly four hours to kill, and still holds the record
for sharks.
Swordfish, however, "provide even more exciting sport. The bait used is a salt-water salinori,
It requires nerve and endurance for the angler in his swivel chair to play a 500lb swordfish with rod and line.
In spite of the skill with which the Russell boatmen handle their
fast launches, the swordásh from being the pursued becomes the successful pursuer. ··
