exception of Jno. Keyworth, the man
who had boosted his game as a fish
erman, but proved to be a frost and
joke whose record at the end of
the day was one large gafftopsail
with four sails, and another fish
which was unknown TO the natives
of Buras and was called by the par
ty a Kaiser fish because it was of
no value. 1t is now on exhibition at
