result Is that their woods are bringing

The sheep herder's life Is a very lonely
one. He Is provided with a covered wagon,
which is hauled on the range. where he IS

because all marine fishes except the fat
flsh (hounder and fuke) are captured
more readily at a certain tide. The main
cause for such is that FISH are more active
in their search for food generally on the

Vast schools Of little fishes move close
into shore on the incoming tide, working
their way into the smaller bays and in

fectually hide from their larger enemies

are unable to get at them in very shoat
