every year becoming larger. The area of
good fishing grounds has been enlarged by
recent discoveries. These resources have

fishermen, and they will hereafter make
important additions TO the fleet. The bust
ness is prosecuted with greater safety in the
waters of the North Pacific that it is in the
waters of the Atlantic. Every year in those
waters there are distressing accounts of
wrecks with great loss of life. But no
wrecks have occurred to shipping engaged
in cod-fisheries in the waters of the North
