All fish are cut open, and the entrails re

When a cargo is obtained of from 10000 to

for drying, smoking, or packing in brine is

which cuts it into bricks for packing at the

smoke houses where the halihut and mackerel
are cured Some of the packing concerns
have their own vessels. One possesses fifteen
schooners, worth about $4,000 each. The
total catch of mackerel for one year is

MAP OF TIE FISHING GROUNDS.


As the map shows, the mackerel is the most
common fish, and for that reason the least
profitable The season Tor mackerel begins
in March and ends in November and what
becomes of these fish in the meantime ''tha
Lord only knows" so an old skipper said.
Mac6erel are caught in schools with i'm
nionse seines of about Loco feet in length.
This seine is dropped slowly out of q large
row boat in such a manner as to describe IA
great circle, and thus incloSe a great portion
OF the school of fish. Along the lower edge
OF the seine, which hangs 100 feet below the
surface, are rings through which rope runs
ike running string. This is drawn taut
when the circle is completed thus closing the
bottom and making an immense purse OF the
net. II frequently happens, though, that be
fore the bottom Of the net is closed
it is found that school is out, -
which means that the maCkercl have detected
the fshcrmen's little game and escaped by
diving. TO keep the mackerel school III,
while the net is being dropped, barrels Of
chopped up porgies and clans are thrown
mo the water. One successful haul will yield
loO 10 POO barrels of fish. When loaded on
deck these fish are split open, cleaned and
packed ON ice or i'll salt, according as ii is u
tended To deliver them in the market,
