Last Word
" HAD an amusing experience one evening at a famous fishing hotel in North Uist. I had landed that night, with two large sharks tied up to the side of the ML, and in the hotel I met a crusty old retired colonel who asked me whether I had been fishing. He meant for salmon or sea trout. I said ‘Yes,’ and he said: ‘What was your "best fish to-day?’ I had the great pleasure of replying: ‘Oh, somewhere about 26,000 Ib.’ And with a snort of disgust he left us, He was just the sort of colonel to whom I had always wanted to make that sort of remark."--From a talk by Major Maxwell on shark-hunting in a_ recent BBC broadcast.
