During last week, immense shoals of Whitings
and other Fish were caught on the Beach in the Bay
of Aberdeen. Every receding wave left numbers
behind it, and the only trouble was to pick them up.
The cause is thought to he, that the, D'og.fisli now
begin to infest the coast ; and to escape their
voraciousness, the small Fish push for the shallow
water.
