Of them out. He was from 5o'cloek Friday evening
until the same hour saturday landing the seine
When it is recoected that barrel contains 800 TO
600 herring each it will be seen that there was from
10000 10 10000 herring in that haul-an enor-
nous eateh--which, if spread over the week would
have made very satisfactory and profitable catch
