travel apart.

Today the herring Is hardly regarded

How this ine.haustlble. limitless yield
OF the ocean has swayed the destinies

Despite the unremitting harvest by

armies Of herring still continue to pop
ulate the Atlantic with multiplying
hosts.
The Atlantic has been aptly called
the herring pond" Indelibly associat-

survive as one Of the greatest factors
In the welfare Of western nations. To-
