It Caught in the Rocks and $500 Worth
of AIackere1 Escaped.

In a shed on Custom House wharf, yester-
day, might have been seen great mackerel
net upon which several men and women
were making repairs. The net came to Port
land Wednesday. in the schooner George
Pierce, that brought 200 barrels of mackerel
from Nova Scotia. While off Canso, the net
above mentioned caught on some rocks on
the bottom and was torn, and 100 barrels of
mackerel escaped. 1t involved a loss be-
tween $500 and $500 on the mackerl, to say
nothing of the cost of repairing the net,
which is not slight.
This net cost $3.50. The schooner carries
two of them. Some mackerel nets cost as
high as $780,
