Fig. 181. It took an even dozen men to carry this mold of a big striped 

 marlin into the shelter of the tent. The mold should be kept out of the 

 rain so that it can dry and become lighter, and consequently easier to 



handle. 



Fig. 182. A carpenter was hired to build these shipping crates. The 

 author (left) stands with Mr. and Mrs. Buck Hassel of Otehei Bay. The 

 other local folks were kind with their cooperation in handling the huge 



molds.
