Providence Morning Star

Successful

Hunting.—Our readers are

pretty well acquainted through the STAR

columns with the High Hook Fishing Club and

their success on the water with the line. At

this season of the year, however, it appears

that the aforesaid organization is a good shot

hunting club. Yesterday the club made up a

party consisting of Lieut. Nathaniel Grant, C.

R. Wheelock, and Nathaniel Hallett, of steamer

Bay Queen, all of Providence, Daniel Smith,

of Attleboro', and George Bacon, of Pawtucket,

embarking about half-past seven o'clock in the

morning on one of the steamers of the Ameri-

can Steamboat Company, commanded by Capt.

Rhodes, and made a tour of part of Narragan-

sett Bay, taking in Rumstick Point and Rocky

Point. The game was duck, and at half-past

five o'clock in the afternoon the party reported

in Providence again, with evidence of their

success in an exhibition of thirty-two of as

fine specimens of black duck as our local eye-

sight ever covered. Mr. Smith, of Attleboro,

carries the palm of the day as the best shot,

though it was unanimously granted that Whee-

lock and the Lieutenant fastened well, and

Hallett made a good show for his Bacon. The

entire day was immensely enjoyed and the

fruits of the sport will doubtless continue the

pleasure for some days to come.
