The "Rote of the Waves

It is a favorite theory with the fish
ing and seafaring people on the north
east of Scotland that in storm three
waves are strong and violent, while thu
fourth is comparatively weak and less
dangerous. This succession they call
a "rote of waves" Fishermen return-
ing from their fishing ground often
prove by experience the truth Of their
theory and hang back as they come
near the shore to take advantage Of
the lull that follows, they say, pretty
regularly after three big breakers.
