there are six feet four inches of him.

Tim Esersts FISHEILIIK—The herring fishery
is considered virtually at an end at Great Yarmouth. The
season has been one of the most successful on record. At
Lowestoft also the smaller bouts are "making up" for the
meson and counting their gains ; few of them have naiad
len Chas AIX, and some of them have fish producing as
much as 0101. per boat. It is thought that the voyage will
result in ea avenge return of 'SW. per boat ; 250 f. per boat
will ewer egpenses. The larger broth connected with the
port et Lowestoft are still at Ha.
