Caught of Block Island" said Capt.
Murphy as be made the smack fast to the
wharf at Fulton Market ''It's the first
sword fshin the New York market this
season. What does it weigh? Well when
anybody asks that question about sword
fish we generally tell him that it weighed
1l5l pounds before il was dressed, and
that the sword was 13 feet long. With
the head aud tail and fins off, and drawn,
it tipped the scales at 904 pounds"
"Yes, that's what you generally tell
people that ask questions; but what was
the actual weight"
Just $50 pounds. and il you don't be-
lieve that I'll prove it by Eugene Black
ford. Don't think there'll be many sword
fish brought here this season, because it's
more profitable to send them to Boston
and other Eastern cities. Around Block
Island the fishing begins in June and
lasts until about September, or when the
first cold weather sets in During these
months we follow the fish wherever they
go. How do we follow them? Well, the
sword FISH likes warm wcsther and smooth
water. When cruising for them We keep
lockout aloft, aud he can see the fin Of
. fish cutting through the water two miles
away. It's easy enough TO get near them
in sailing vessel, for they don't seem 10

TO its back. The wooden handle OF the
barpoon is detached, leaving the iron I'm.
bedded 10 the fish and fsst to line run
along the deck. Then the fun begins, for
the big fish makes the line fly through the
water, and when the boys on the smack
