CHAPTER VII.
IN GOOSE BAY.
The success which attended their efforts was not great, and after a few more bass had been taken, Jock, to his chagrin, not having even one strike, Ethan decided to leave that ground for another.
“I think I’ll take ye over to Goose Bay,” he said. “That’s where I told Tom to go, and probably they’re there by this time.”
“That’s historic ground, isn’t it, Ethan?” inquired Bob.
“Yes. The British and Yankees had a bit of a go round there in the War of 1812. I’ll show ye jest where it was when we get there.”
“How did you know there was a fight there, Bob?” said Jock, quickly.
“’Most everybody knows about that, I s’pose,” said Ethan, before Bob could reply. “Everybody round these parts has heard of it.”
