Sullivan had his limb mashed near the

owner. Many thousands OF pounds of
these fish are often seen from the bridge at
one time, and the structure looks much
like slaughter pen. The bridge plank
and the sides are covered with blood from
one end to the other, and the scene in
fishing time is a great curiosity. The peo-
pie take these fish and cure them with
salt and smoke, and call them hslibut. 1t
is said they can hardly be told from the
genuine ocean smoked fish.
The extent to which the work is carried
on can hardly be appreciated until seen,
and the bridge is 80 much like q slaughter
pen that il is almost impossible to get a
horse over il at this time of the year.
