nurses would close it, The doctor then

British Columbia fishing schooners which had
been on an exploring tour to Black Cod Banks
of Queen Charlotte's Islands. The owners of
the vessels have been richly rewarded for
their enterprise. Fish were found in great
abundance in from $50 to 800 fathoms.
and at about three miles from shore The
anchorage along the coast is excellent, in
natural harbors, well sheltered from the
wind. The supply of fish at all times was all
that could be desired, and steam fishing yes

doubtless succeed best in the fishery. The
