Purchasing a line, he deserted the blankets ’at 3 a.m., and stuck it out on a suburban wharf until 7 a.m., when, half dead with inaction on the frosted wharf, he returned home declaring that “there was no such animal” as a frost, fish. It was only then that* he learned that frost fish are not taken with hook and! line, but have a stupid habit of casing themselves up on sandy beached during ebb-tide.
