Fishing in Motor Boats.

Automobile fishing boats are plying
the brine off Great Britain. Compe-
tition among the fishermen on the east
coast Of England and Scotland has
resulted in a motor fishing boat Of
eighty tons displacement, rs feet long,
% feet wide, and fitted with a gaso-
line engine Of twenty four horsepower
running 300 revolutions per minute
The engine, which Is used only when
winds are adverse or lacking, can
give the craft speed Of five miles
per hour 1t does not interfere with
either the storage Of fish or the man
ipulation Of sails, and replaces in its
weight merely the extent that the bal.
last previously carried. The idea Is
to allow individual crews to get their
catch to market as soon as do the
present fleets Of ''drlfters," who EN-.
poy a steam craft to collect fish from
each member Of the feet in turn. The
entire catch is then hurried to port,
while the fishermen remain on the
ground and continue their work. If
the pioneer boat fulfills its anticipated
destiny number of similar craft are
expected to be built.
