Fishing Halibut
Catches Octopus
At Risk Of Life

the gaff hook, he got hold of
the hooks and, one at a time
with his free hand, started
hooking the octopus’ tenacles
and lashing the lines to the
sides and thwarts.
He managed to get three of
them firmly hooked before he'
had to let go the gaff hook.
This new form of attack also
made the octopus change his
tactics. He bent every effort
to breaking away.
The three hooks remained
firmly fastened, however, and
Hansell started rowing. It was
an hour later that he reached
the beach.
Octopus in Garden
By that time one halibut
hook had torn from the flesh
of the octopus which kept up
the struggle and, as a second
hook was working free, Han
! sell took up his gaff hook on
ce more and got hold of the
monster’s head.
Sculling his skiff to shallow
water—one hand at the oar
and the other on the gaff
hook—he brought the exhaust
ed fish ashore. It was all Han
sell could do to drag the octo
pus up the beach to a settler’s
! garden where what remains
of him is serving as fertilizer
today.
Hansell had won his fight
and he had his trophy. But
he didn’t know what to do
with it. So he helped the set
tler cut up the body for his
garden, saving only one very
small piece for bait to go out
and finish the fishing trip he
had set out on.

were eating supper it started
again and the tent did not
get away lor we pulled the
bottom in and laid flour sacks
and all the heavy things on
the bottom and three of us
held down on the ridge pole.
It lasted for several hours
and we were nearly all in
when we decided to crawl in
to our sleeping bags. So, if
you like you may tell the
author she was misinformed
if she believes the wind does
not blow in the Matanuska
valley.
“Now here is our summer
experience: We were packing
from Knik to Chickaloon, a
distance of about 50 miles.
One day, down about half
way, we put on our shoes,
and tried to fry some bacon,
bake some bannocks, and
make a good strong pot of
tea, while trying to get some
rest at our halfway camp. I
was thinking I would fool the
mosquitoes this day so I pull
ed my pack sack over my
feet and a small piece of can
was over my head. I kept rub
bing one foot against the oth
er and wondering how the
mosquitoes could get into that
sack. It got so bad I got up to
look, turning the canvas down
so 1 could see my feet. The
sack was full of mosquitoes,
but what interested me was a
flock that had lit on my pack
sack. Upon investigating I
found a small hole in the sack
where they were entering.
The hole was no larger than
a pencil, but they were com
ing through single file, con
gesting the entrance in a won
derful way. One large mos
quito was standing by the
hole issuing rain checks to
his fellows. Mrs. Willoughby
is right. They are a very in
dustrious breed!”
