Continuing the subject Of my last-tbe
great industry Of the little port-there are
j kDow not how many boats, big and little,
that hail from Peterhesd. saw p. ID. l245

Of them, p. ID. with their particular No.
following, and all the boats from 24.miles
North 10 25 miles South OF the port hail"
from this haven. That ia. they are regis
tered here, pay barbor dues here and are
entitled 10 their berth In the snug retreat
provided for all who duly pay their way.

Dundee, and so on everywhere. The cost

a herring boat in trim for its full work,
represents money value Of $1,000 on OF
average. Then there is risk in good sea

fish. When the behring's get caught b,
