The Finny
Harvest Starts

1t was soon after noon on Saturday
that short blast Of the whistle an
nounced that the Abatross was ready for
the harvest. The net which was dashed
along the rail the starboard side was
cleared of its wrappings and each wing
made fast to one of the "doors' on that
side Of the vessel and the wire cables from
the winch were made fast each to a door"
Fishermen in oilskins along the rail
were dumping the net overheard as the
winch began to CRATE like a huge coffee
mill and by the time the doors" had been
lifted clear of the rail the net was in tho
water. At signal the spools CT the winch
began to spin backward and the doors"
splashed into the water as the cables paid
out.
The length Of the cables IS regulated by
the depth OF the water and the speed OF
the boat. The TRAVELLING speed is about
four knots and the depth Of the Georges
As about forty-fve fifty fathoms. The
travis drag along the very bottom.
When enough cable has been paid out
great Iron hook is slipped over the outer
most of the two cables and travels down
to the stern OF the vessel carrying with
1t wire cable. The slack of this cable
lies doubled along the deck from winch
to stern, paying out through the hands of
man stationed beside block on the rail
near the stern When the hook has reached
point opposite him he slips its cable
into the block and yells to the man at
the winch to start his engine.
The winch tghtens the cable bearing tho
hook and grapples tho outer "door" cable
close in to the side Of the trawler, where it
meets the inner or after cable. The man
at the block in the stern slips them both
into an iron clasp, which he locks with u
pin and then shouts to the man at the winch
TO loosen the tnut hook-cablc.

One of the heavyweights

air above darkened by their NUMBERS
Always they flew into the wind across the
wake Of the Albatross and then swooped or
drifted back, with keen eye out at all
times for the ofal which ran from the
waist.
They were pert little fellows, white be-
meath, with their wings bordered with black
above from shoulder to tip, then a scroll
of Quaker gray and white edges to the after
side of their wings. These birds were
decorated also with three crescents of gray
behind each eye like war paint and were tho
most pugnacious of any Of the raucous,
rollicking, swooping crew. Their tail
feathers also were pointed with black
Another gull had wings of Quaker gray,
but had no black markings and was a larger
and moro inofensve bird, readily giving
way to tho attacks of his smaller relative.
Those with tho black markings had black
feet and the other gray-wings pink feet
Then there were the ugly, brown notified
gulls and another striking looking bird Of
wide wing spread whose body was white and
whose wings were jet black. Ganncts ap-
peared later, large yellow headed birds
white elsewhere except for q tip Of their
wings which was black. The gannets did
not feed close to the boat. They got their
food by diving and would seize it far be-
meath tho water
Wheeling suddenly in mid flight they
would dive from height of fifty feet or
moro with wings outstrctchcd, closing up
like an umbrella just before entering the
water. which they hit with tho IMPACT Of a
projectile. sending spray high into tho air.

engine began to throb its regular cadence.
Every one had been working six hours on
and six hours otf-sometimes more on and
less of-except John McGnnis, the cook
since fishing began. The prospect of an
other week at it was not a welcome one
The cook had been working about fifteen
hours g day until the fishing started; then
he apparently worked twenty four. He
cooked and washed dishes for twenty-eight
men. Breakfast for the men going on watch
at $50, and for those going off watch at
6 o'clock. Six hours later came dinner, and
six hours later supper But that was not
all. McGinnis and his "shipmate" galley
range were busy not only all day but all
night. This came from the "muggn' up"
that was done by tho watch on deck.
To mug up is to dodge into the galley
for snack while on duty. The Alba
trossers, hearty trenchermen all, "mugged
up" with a regularity that must at times
have penetrated even the bcnignant, long
suffering philosophy of John McGinnis But
John, gaunt, gray mustached, bcspectacled,
mid-eyed John McGinnis, never complained.
AT times he would opine that craft Of
the size of the Albatross ought to boast of
a mess boy at least, but it was AS one who
voices ideal With John McGinnis in
mind the conviction is irresistible that
cooks for steam trawlers must be born to
the profession, even as fishermen are
1t was n bountiful table that old John set.
Always there were cereal and eggs for
breakfast hard boiled eggs forward, soft
boiled eggs aft-coree and tea, sometimes
cocoa, bread and butter, potatoes. meat Of
