However, one of the more expert craftsmen, in the person of Mr A. Annan, brought his past experience to light, and with a “ fly ” ot the right sort, landed the fish after a few mmutes flue sport. He went to the butcher ; also to the b jeer; He went to the grocer and cabinetmaker ; He even enquired of the new undertaker, And asked the distiller and brewer !
