Duck hunters must come back.
Sometimes they bring dead ducks
back with them and sometimes they
bring tales of what might have been.
Link Wain and Louie Dahl brought
the tales this time. In the first place
they went out to Boswell bay and
there were only four ducks out there
to greet them. They brought those
four back with them, however. It
rained out there—just a little harder
than it did in Cordova. After wait
ing three days they decided to come
home and eat what ducks they had.
Then the engine balked—simply laid
down flat on them. Well, the Rolfe
kindly towed them into the Graham
cannery for repairs. At the end of
another three days they sighted the
flickering lights of Cordova. Alto
gether it was a week of strenuous
labor. And yet a duck hunter once
exclaimed exultantly as he tramped
across miles and miles of sticky mud
flats in a driving rainstorm, “Only
the idle rich can afford to hunt
I ducks.” Link and Louie don’t think
that there is anything idle about it.
