the holes in the vicinity of the reef

the blizzard, where they were cap
tured ir numb and almost helpless
condition by the fishermen, who
were busy all the forepart of the
week lringing them in by the boat
load. Thousands of fish, lost by be-

along the beach. The amount of
fish caught here by the fishermen
and the amount lost on the beach, it
is thought will be between 10000
