At one time the words hostel and
~inn' were not confined to licensed
houses, but were applied to lodging
houses The Inns" of Oxford and
Cambridge, very numerous before the
introduction Of colleges, were reg
sllated by the college authorities. The
INNS of Court were provided for the
accommodation of law students. In
olden times country houses OF the
aristocracy. during the absence Of
the owners, were used as inns" or
guest-houses. 1t was then the rule to
hang out as signs the arms Of the
owners: hence the origin of public
house signs.

BLACKFISH FIGHT
SIX FISHERMEN
Unpclcome Deep Sea Monsters
Fill Tno Nets-But One Big
Catch Is Landed

When Dominic Chic, captain and
owner OF the fishing launch Fourth of
July. and Lorenzo Canepi of the launch
Salvador Joined issues and dropped
their nets in Half Moon bay yesterday
morning they discovered that they
were not the only sea bass hunters on
the Pacific. A big shoal of blacknsh-
species Of sfa ark-also had learned
about the bass, and the fishing nets
from the two boats just missed the
bass, but intercepted the .b1ackf1sh.
There followed the toughest, blood
lest struggle that Fisherman's wharf
has heard about for long time. The
nets were worth $3.50, apiece, and for
a time 1t looked as If both nets would
have to be abandoned. The fishermen
finally compromised by cutting adrift
one net, in which were four fighting
blackfish each as big as a torpedo and
as full of fight as a wildcat at bay
The other net, by the united efforts
of the six men who made up the crews
of the two boats, was hauled out of
the water and one dozen of the black
fish came with it. Three of the fish
weighed about 800 pounds apiece The
others ranged from so to 100 pounds
apiece.
The fish fought viciously after being
hauled aboard the boats. and for hal
an hour the six men dubbed the fight
ing monsters and, between blows,
lodged their fiail-like tails.
