THE 'MOFFAT POACHERS (Poaching seems to be the most popular pastime in the soutth of Scot- land, says a Moffat writer. It is cer- tainly the most popular topic of con- versation. Since leaving Carlisle. I have met about forty self-confessed poachers and heard many interesting stories of original and ingenious ruses to outwit .bailiffs and police. There is constant warfare on these Border rivers, but it is usually car- ried out in a spirit that is, in a way, sportsmanlike, even if it is illegal, Poaching is as deeply ingrained in many of the people as the instinct to eat and drink. They cannot pass a ri- ver or moor without .visualising thetas in terms of salmon, trout, rabbits, hares or grouse. There is no com- mandment that says: "Thou shalt not poach." The people, ,however; recog- nise an unwritten one that says: "Thou shalt not be caught." lit is this constant working in sec- ret and trying to elude capture that sharpens the wits of poachers and makes ,then such interesting and in- telligent 'conversationalists. They are not vicious in their law -breaking. ,As a rule, they are most likeable fellows, with an. infectious humor and an un- quenchable thirst for beer. iThere are some who, when caught, try to escape by injuring the bailiff or policeman. These persons are black -listed by the respectable mem- bers csf the -profession. V,Tlhen a real poacher is caught he curses his stup- idity and submits to Itis punishment. The number of "resetters" in the Borders is amazing, The poacher docs not only satisfy his family's .ap- petite. ile sells most of his goods, and he is never at a loss to find a suitable nocturnal market. Near Moffat II met a well-educated. young matt called (Bill, who offered to initiate me into the secrets of the trade. IWe travelled about five, miles front Mfoffat and ;settled down beside a sparkling river to watch the salmon leaping and trying to reach a narrow ledge x,11 a cauld. The weight of the salmon varied from %lb, to 201bs., and Bill could guage them at a glance. Although the light was fading we could see them plainly spurting through the water, popping above the surface, and viciously kicking their tails. I 'felt positive that as Bill looked at them he was seeing then stretched out on a sizzling pan. (Suddenly he took from his waist- coat pocket an innocent spectacle case and, opening it, drew from its red plush interior a fornvid'able,'hook of the type that butchers use for banging skinned and sanguinary cat- tle at their doors. "That's a gaff," explained ,Bvld, "That's what is used for catching fish.,, It was made of steel, the shaft be- ing about three 'inches long, and at the end was a hook. Inside the hook was a prong that gripped the Ifish and kept it from escaping. He rose and cut a stout switch .from a tree.. "The switch is usually ,about three feet long," said Bill, "You tie the shaft of the gaff to it with string. You get clown to the edge of the wa- ter, or :into it, and wait till a salmon. flings ,its tail up.Then you slip the gaff its below it, draw it about nine incites along its stomach, then dig the hook in and pull like the devil. If it is a big one you use string in such a way that when it's kicking it wriggles and- ties itself tip till it can't 'When you get it out to the bank you hit .it three or four times with the heel oI your boot till it's killed, but you have to make sure it's dead, for a few weeks ago I hit one ,till it looked dead and hid it among leaves till darknes's came, ,When I :came hack at night it took me an hour to ,find it. It had wriggeld twenty yards away." "Do you know that if we were caught here on the river hank with this 'gaff we would be ''fined?" he said. II told him that 2 was not aware of he fact, Farmer's Ball. The attraction at the opera house• on Friday evening will be the (Farm- ers' 'Ball for which a' 'large number of invitations have been •issued.

As for ane—he'd haul pie away with- out a minute's notice.". "What would:: the fine be?" I asked, "Anything up to £1110," L' began to feet decidedly uncott- fortable, for if we were caught !I was morally, responsible for the payment of Bill's fine in addition to my own There was a rustle t among the "It's all right," said Bill, "I've been watching hon with the tail of my eye for ,the last ten minutes, as he carte over the moor. (He's a bigger poacher 'than myself." We returned to Moffat. lOn the way I asked Bill how the men poached at night. "They use bicycle lamps or torch - lights," he said, "The light seems 'to blind the fish and -paralyse them, for I've often seen us put our hands into the water and lift ,them out." Then he told me of a midnight ad- venture he had last winiter, He was out poaching with two companions, and had done well. They had caught (five salmon—a 34 pounder, a 28, a 2,6 a x20, and a 112 pounder. Satisfied, they prepared to return home. (Bill had three of the fish, the larg- est of them, in a bag As only one of the men had waders, and as the river had to be crossed, Bill sat 011 his friend's shoulders. When they had waded half -way across the river a shrill whistle came through the dark- ness. The man with the waders stop- ped dead, and Pill, with his precious 'load, was 'thrown into the water. The bag floated away and the men scrambled to the 'embankment and made ,for a nearby wood. The other poacher, in, his eagerness to escape, left the two salmon he was watching on the bank. 'Wait till you hear the end of the story," said Bill. "ire had a terrible t �, c\ r jab getting home that night. We were drenched to the skin and the wind nearly went through us. Every time the headlights of a car appeared on the road we delved behind dykes and hedges and hid till They passed." There was a sequel next .morning. "After breakfast I was out for a walk," continued ,Bill, "and a friend carne up to toe. To tell you the truth d was going down to the river to see if the other twofish were still there, This friend says: 'You were in a great hurry to get away from the meeting last night.' The aneeting, you know, is where the Annan and Moffat wat- ers meet, and that's ,where we were Poaching, I asked him what he meant. 'Oh, I called round for you about 111 o'clock to see if you were going out, and they told ttte you were at the meeting. 'So'I went down 1:o join you, and I whistled so that you wouldn't ,think it was the police or a bailiff.' "What I said to that fellow nearly caused a fire." lOn another occasion be was out walking with his wife, who was 'wheeling a pram in which was their baby. They met a policeman, who ,smilingly renea,rkcd: "No' doon at the river today?" "No, the wife's taking control of the naw. 'Site's trying to reform me." answered Bill and passed on. For a minute 'Sill almost choked latrghittg. "1 wonder what he would 'have said if he had known that there was a ,thirty -pounder in the pram," went on Sial1, "I had ,been out early that mor- ning and caught a whopper. I car- ried it a hundred yards through the deep snow and 'hid it in a hale of a dyke. ,In the afternoon I told the wife to bring the Nairn for a walk ill the pt•am, so off we went. I got the sal- mon and fixed it round the sleeping bairn's legs, and covered it tip and set`. out for home, Many a dodge has been tried to ,bring home poached salmon. I've seen women carrying them home in a clothes bttaket trader a pile of clothes." "Round Moffat are wide stretches of. moor, plain ,and hills where rabbits, Nares, grouse, partridge and pheasant are to he found, :Bill lead often poach- ed for them, lRabbit poaching, he told nee, was carried out at might, for it is in the dankness that the rabbits come into the fields to feed. A net about fifty yards long and eighteen inhces 'high is used. It is peggedinto the ground near hedges beside the burrow's but t is left slack so that the rabbi,bs.will not break it. The poachers walk round the boundaries of the field, some to the right, others to the left,' and chase the rabbits into the nets. where their feet become entangled, Trade Prices EXTRAS ...... ....... ........: .......:. 45c DOZ.
