Second Wee k. 



First Day. — Start from Fleetwood and steam south- 

 west to the 20 fathom line opposite the mouth of the 

 Eibhle (26 miles), where we have found the tongue of 

 deep water to be a spawning ground for haddock, 

 whiting, etc. Take three hauls from east to west in 

 depths of 20 to 30 fathoms, followed by one or two 

 hauls of shrimp trawl, and run south to Holyhead 

 harbour for night. 



Second Day. — Start from Holyhead and trawl north- 

 west in depths of 30 to 50 fathoms, so as to make a 

 traverse across the channel by which water enters the 

 Lancashire district from the south. Lie at night in 

 Port Erin or Port St. Maiy, according to wind. 



Third Day. — Steam directly south from Calf Island 

 towards Holyhead, and trawl in depths of 30 to 40 

 fathoms. Stay night in Holyhead. 



Fourth Day. — Leave Holyhead and steam round 

 Skerries to north coast of Anglesey. Take haul along 

 the 20 fathom line towards Point Lynas. Then take 

 two hauls of fish trawl in Red Wharf Bay and one of 

 shrimp trawl, and run into Straits for the night. Any 

 additional time that week could be spent in exploring 

 Red Wharf and Beaumaris Baj^s and the neighbourhood. 

 Remain week-end in Straits. 



Third Week. 



First Day. — Steam through Menai Straits to Carnar- 

 von Bay, and spend rest of day in making several 

 traverses of the shallow water between Anglesey and 

 Bardsey Island. Lie for the night in St. Tudwell Roads. 



Second Day. — Continue south into Cardigan Bay, and 

 trawl within the 20 fathom line south to New Quav or
