TIE GLOUCESTER FISHING FLEET
I'VE are panied to hear hat four of
the Georges Bank fishing feet, from
Gloucester, arc missfI &, and were
probably lost in the heavy and cold
westerly gale of the 18th February, and

gagged in by the fishermen, the world
would pronounce it the harshest c.n-
city to send men for meagre remu-
neration upon such dangerous service.
