boats had fair takes, the majority of
the fleet did poorly, as the fishing was
comparatively light. Matters, however,
assumed bright prospect on Friday
night, and the boats We're very for
tunate in arriving in the harbor on
Saturday with large takes Of splendid
mackerel. some ranging from 1900 to
1900 boat, and the rest of the fleet
averaging about $50 to each boat. The
price given for the fish, although in
