    3. For clarification of our Goldrush Listers I looked up the definition of shay as I wasn't certain if my dear pescatorial friend, Bob Norris, hadn't fallen off the deep end and was in need of the angels of mercy. I found the following: Shay = A chaise. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Third Edition copyright © 1992 by Houghton Mifflin Company.

Chaise = Any of various light, open carriages, often with a collapsible hood, especially a two-wheeled carriage drawn by one horse.
