Argosy, September 1955

1955 · 148 pages

This September 1955 issue of Argosy contains three cricket-themed pieces, followed by the main story. The cricket section includes E. B. V. Christian's 1894 verse on umpiring, "How's That?" by John Moore—a humorous piece about Alfie attempting to interest a politician named Halliday in cricket rules from Wisden—and Coulson Kernahan's verse "Caught Out," about a fielder injured by the sun. The featured story, "Queer Fish" by Kem Bennett, concerns Albert Pascoe, a Cornish docker and part-time boatman with a small fishing vessel called the Alice. Living with his wife Alice, Albert has smuggled aquavit, enjoys poaching salmon despite local law and water-bailiff Herbert Whiteway's vigilance, and dreams of operating his boat commercially in Easter season. One evening after leaving the pub, two mysterious men—strangers recently at the inn—accost Albert at gunpoint, demanding he sail them to France in his boat for fifty pounds, threatening violence if he refuses.
