Tinker Mackerel and the sweet
morsel known as butter fish are now
staple diet here, the daily catch of
the pounds being mostly marketed
and shipped from Sinnett's wharf. A
forty-two pound cod was among last

bits commonly sold from small fish
and cut lengthwise necessarily.

musical comedy Fannie Brown of
