His name was Ephriam DooUtue.

He was a curious Iookin' old cuss,

his hair was cut to match. Wen. one

A sudden fog is dreaded by these
winter fishermen. It is bad enough to
be adrift on the high seas in an open
boat in pleasant weather. In the
winter it is horrible. The dories are
often three or four miles from the
schooner when the travis are being
set and hauled. In winter fishing On

poor Old hooker began to jump at her

decide whether he'd hang on for an
