of ice for a large CATCH but the heavy
seas which she shipped played sad havoc
with it, One ssa swept away the dory,
which would have been lost entirely but
for ATTACHED lines. The mems cabin was
filled with writer and every thr ad of
clothing was thoroughly wet a number of
times. before a sunny day came to dry it.

pscting to be competed to hustle to save
themselves. The Tickle brought in but
