FISHING WITH A RIFLE.
A Place Wheie People Shoot and Kill
the Finny Victims,
l'roni the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In tho Stiuits of Kan Juan de Fuca
Is found one of the laigest of the Pa
cific llslus the halibut, the capture ot
which affouls great ovitPiiient and
spoit, especially to the joung people
who mo taken out to witness It.
"You want to go halibut fishing,
eh7' said an old flsheunaii to a boy
vlsltoi. "Well, my bov, you can go;
and all the tackle jou want is a life."
"A lllle'" ednlmd th" joutli.
"Who ever lioi'td of tlshlng with a
lllle'"
"Well." responded the (ldicrmnn,
"you bilng yours along and 111 show
you."
Tho bojo weie impiessed with tho
preparations, which certainly suggest
ed big game. A huge lino was hauled
cut of a hp till and colled with great
precaution, and finally fastened on a
gigantic ieei nearly four feet in length,
which ciossed the stein of the boat;
lrom this extended a powerful handle,
the entlto anangement resembling an
old-f-iFliloned well lift. Tho huge hook
was lnitcd, and In obeedeneo to In
structions, tho ililes weie 1 jaded and
tho boys weie told to nuike icadv to
shoot at tin first appearance of the
game
"What shall we shoot at?" asked one
of the boys, after waiting in sllciwe
half an bout.
"Shoot at?" replied the skipper as
though veiy much astonished at the
question, "whv. the halibut, of coume
not at me. Jest as soon ns on see
the fish pour the lead Into him."
His companions b gan to watch the
water as though espeellng to see the
fish Hy out. and weie thus engaged
when a hissing sound mine funn the
dliectiou of th ilsl-ermuu, and the big
line vas heen running slowly but
surely over tho side of the boa'. Tho
fisherman watched it caiefully, and
when about twenty lect had been mys
teriously fiken he seized the line, and
as It came taut give It a vlgoious Jell;.
Foi a second thete was no 1 espouse,
as though the llsh was astonished,
then the line vvas Jeiked from his
bunds so quickly that his arms were
bulled In the water, and the coll seem
ed to leap into the air like a living
thing. Coll after coll, jaul aftei yard,
slipped over the side, und it became
evident that the entire line would be
exhausted unless something was done.
With big thick gloves the llshermen
now grasped the Iljlny lope, and ly
ing back, hung upon It. Ho llnally
I'ui'ceeded in stopping the nin, and
hauled the line In a few feet, but the
fish made a vlgoious lush that took
It all way again, and then the bojs
saw that It was Using.
"He s dlmlblug." said the ted-faced
flshetmnn: 'stand ready"
Higher and higher came the line,
and suddenlj-. In a mass of foam, a
huge bat-like fomi was tven flapping
upon and beating tho water, churning
It into foam.
"Now!" shouted the skipper.
The boys sprang to their feet and
uepnn filing at the squirming target,
over nine feet wide, not one bundled
feet away. Thej undoubtedly struck It,
but a number of shots had been Hied
before uny appreciable effect was no
ticed, then the huge llsh began to
slowly swln around tho boat, finally
plunging downwntd.
It was then that the skipper toleasvd
the Hue and spiang to the big led
windlass and began to wind up tho
game, a most laborious operation, in
which nil Joined forces, and It was only
after a struggle thut the llsh was
brought to the suifaco, dead, Its tie
mondous weight of nearly sOO pounds
lequltlng the windlass to lift It.
The great halibut 'Of the northwest
coast sometimes attains a weight of
1,000 pounds, and It Is dangerous game
to attempt to lend in a small boat;
so the expedient of killing It with a
rifle Is succi -sfullv adopted, and many
of the laigest llsh are killed In this
