sinkers, &c. &c. we had to wait quite awhile for the tide to
turn (10:14) and then for the flounders to begin to come up. We watched
the little sand eels form circles & drill them- selves and the
big eels chase them and we sang a little, and talked, and Mr.
& Mrs. Twombly came by on their wheels and stopped a
little while. When the flounders did begin to
come up we caught every one, as long as we could see them. First
they'd chase the bait, then go for the sinker, and with a little angling
for the bait, and up they'd come. It was murderous. Finally the tide
got higher and the bites thicker and people going to and from the
beach began to collect & watch us as we handled them in. A man jumped
from his byke to kill one of mine & help me to bait &c. I
caught the biggest - but I think not the largest number - we did not
keep count. When I looked at my watch for bathing hour it was 12:15!
We fished till one - and from the conversation of on-lookers I judge the
whole town will be down there fishing tomorrow. After dinner - a
hearty one - I talked to Alice &
Mrs. M & Mrs. P.
awhile and then the children & Mr & Mrs.
Emslie went to the bridge fishing - & Mrs. Perrin
with them take care of Ralph
