WE GO TRAWLING
One calm evening during our stay at South Brighton, we decided to go trawling. Having wrapped up well in dry bathing suits, old torn dresses, and somewhat moth-eaten
jerseys for the girls and shrunken trousers and shirts for ttye boys, we set off. After a long trawl in moderately deep water we emerged with a heavy net. Interested spectators gathered round to view the catch, and a shout of amusement arose when we gatheerd in one small sole, a few sticks, and pipis, and an old, worn motor-tyre.
However, we trudged back into the surf, which was beginning to recede, and tried our luck a second time. After about 10 minutes we once more came out, though this time the number of fish was larger. As it was darkening, the greater part of our audience had dwindled away, and we were able to form a little circle to discuss the results of our labour —one large flounder and a smaller one, two fair-sized soles, and various smaller fish, small soles, etc., and a dangerous looking crab —JUDY HANNA. L.B.H.
