98 THE EEPORT UPON No. 13 



Fishing the past season was generally light but some large catches were made 

 in Lake Erie and at Killarney, Georgian Bay. In fact the fishing was good off 

 Killarney, Squaw Island and the Duck Islands. The storms of November protected 

 the fish better than many boats could, and commercial fishermen (as a rule) observe 

 the law well. 



During the season the ship has? been at seventy-four ports and logged 9,904 

 miles.
