ie, must be over-estimated, or the

It requires two men to mnanna boat,
which would give '-300 boats for 600

Say that the 000 fishermen on an
average, 200 boats a night; the ia Vel age
nuinIBer caught by each boat put at 20,
and the stirn total would be 4,000 fish,

iipression is that the latter eomcs

followinig curious incident:

Late inl the night, and in the midst o
the dancing, a beaitifiu and dashin
woman was quietly arrested anl
walked ofT to the lock-up, causing no
a little excitement, as may well b
supposed. It was givenl out at thi
tine that the lady was stirering uti

true history of the affidir has since leak
