Their Habits are Little Understood
by Men
From ne london Saturday Rsgisir.
There is considerable difference of
opinion among fishermen as TO the
present condition Of North Sea fishing.
Some say that II is nothing like what It
used to be and IS going from bad to
worse, although they admit that the
fishermen do not suffer; since, II they
catch less, they get a better price for
what they do catch. Soles, for instance,
which once sold for B0s, or SO a trunk,
now fetch from e5 to 50. We are
familiar in most quarters with talk
about things not being what they used
TO be, and need not lay too much stress
on 1t. The right Of grumbling Is con-
ceded as a national privilege, and II
must be admitted that all the men by no
means share this gloomy view. Indeed
The more intelligent and thoughtful
among them seem to think that occa.
sional scarcity Of certain kinds Of fish Is
