  REPORT 
  OF 
  COMMISSIONER 
  OF 
  FISH 
  AND 
  FISHERIES. 
  [08] 
  

  

  the 
  fishery 
  must 
  seemingly 
  always 
  be 
  carried 
  on 
  with 
  hand-lines 
  frorr 
  

   the 
  vessel's 
  side, 
  or 
  in 
  dories, 
  and 
  in 
  this 
  case 
  8 
  or 
  9 
  men, 
  at 
  the 
  most, 
  

   will 
  catch 
  nearly 
  as 
  many 
  fish 
  as 
  a 
  much 
  larger 
  number. 
  Therefore, 
  any 
  

   increase 
  in 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  vessels, 
  above 
  a 
  certain 
  limit, 
  and 
  addition 
  to 
  

   the 
  number 
  of 
  men 
  carried, 
  must 
  result 
  in 
  greater 
  expense 
  without 
  a 
  

   corresponding 
  augmentation 
  of 
  receipts. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  is
