After getting my shooting iron in order my game was gone. Proceeding farther down I saw two more and after several hours I succeeded in shooting one. I took out my line (which I always carry to throw over game in the river) and attaching a club, threw it over the duck but it was not heavy enough to hold the specimen. Pulling in my cord I found it twisted and knotted into every conceivable "tie up"' imaginable and before I could get my lino in working order the bird was some one-half mile below.... Overtaking it bj'^ a high clay bank and seeing it near the shore I attempted to descend slip, slip, and down I went into the mud and soft clay and did not stop until I fetched up in aqua fortis. Fortunately it was not deep enough to seriously wet me. Before I could extricate myself from the clay my bird was again below me and out of reach. Determined to have it as it was a splendid male specimen, I followed to the end of the "ope" (three miles), thinking 1 should certainly get it then, but what was my disappointment to see it disappear under the ice!
