So our tent stood, till a violent storm assailed us one night with barbarous fury, tore up the pegs to which the ropes were fastened, and gave up all our canvas to the winds. Thus, we got an ample soaking in our bed, in which we cut a pretty figure, no doubt, when disclosed to public gaze ; but we were not blown into the Tweed ; so that, upon the whole, we were uncommonly fortunate....

Now he is obliged to keep his arms aloft, thac the line may clear the rocks, — now he must rush into the river, then back out with nimble pastern, always keeping a steady and proper strain of line ; and he must preserve his self- possession, " even in the very tempest and whirlwind of the sport, " when the salmon rushes like a rocket.
