'This Company comprises within its objects and operations
two branches of business :
(I.) A system of tidep-sea fishing and the purchase and
curing .of fish en the west coast of Ireland, the principal fea-
ture of the plan being the employment of steam-vessels as
earrtsrs from the fishing grounds to the railways.
(2.) Tho manufacture of fish manure or fish guano from the
inedible fish and offal, and the extract of fish oil.
The Directors refer with gratification to the observa-
tions of the press both in England and Ireland (set forth as an
appendix to a pamphlet, which, with full detailed prospectus,
may be had on application),
expressing in the most forcible
manner favourable opinions of the undertaking, not only as
to its success in a commercial point of view, but as likely to
be beneficial to Ireland.
As to tho first branch of operations of the Company
namely, fishing and the purchase of fish, it may be stated
that the waters of the west coast of Ireland abound with tho
choicest co& turbot, soles, lobsters, and other fish, but
hitherto, °Wing to a variety of causes well known, these
vast resources have not been turned to profitabla
