AWARD OF THE FISHERY COMMISSION. 1973 



Q. Then why did you say, "Did I say I did not go into Bav Ch* 

 leurs?" A. I did not put it to you. 



Q. I asked you why you did not try Buy Chaleurs, and you mit the 

 question, "Did I say I did not go into Bay Chaleura?" A. I did not 

 understand you said Bay Chaleurs. 



Q. I said Bay Chaleurs. A. I never was in Bay Chaleurn except 

 once. 



Q. Why did you put the question to me ? A. I never \va* in Bav 

 Chaleurs but once. 



Q. Will you not answer that question ? A. I do not know what vou 

 mean. I cannot answer if I do not know what you mean. 



Q. You did not go into Bay Chaleurs that yea'r ? A. No. 



Q. Why did you not? A. Because I found mackerel enough without 

 going there. 



Q. You are sure about that? A. Of course, I am sure about that. 



Q. You think you won't deviate from that statement f I have asked 

 you why you did not go into Bay Chaleurs when you only got 180 

 barrels at Magdalen Islands, which is not a full fare, and you ha've 

 given to me the extraordinary answer that it was because you had mack- 

 erel enough where you were. A. We got enough. 



Q. How do you reconcile that with the fact that you did not get ft 

 full fare? A. I don't know what you mean. 



Q. I asked you why, instead of going home with ISO barrels, which, 

 you say, was not a full fare, you did not go to Buy Chaleiirs, and you 

 gave as a reason that you got plenty of mackerel where you were f A. 

 Did I not tell you we spoke vessels which came from there, and they 

 said there was no mackerel. 



Q. So far from that, you gave as a reason for not trying there, that 

 you had plenty of mackerel where you were ? A. If I did not, I MB 

 mistaken. I told you we spoke vessels coming from Prince Edward 

 Island and nor'ard. 



Q. Then some of the vessels came from Bay Chaleurs ! A. I told you 

 they came from all over the bay. 



Q. Did they come from Bay Chaleurs ! A. I don't say from Bay 

 Chaleurs, but'froin the nor'ard. Vessels seldom go to Bay Cbaleun*. 



Q. As you were going to Magdalen Islands you would pass Prince 

 Edward Island, after going through the Gut of Canso ! A. We nin 

 about half-way from Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton. 



Q. After you went through Causo, you ran right by Prince 1 

 Island t A^ Yes ; by the island, but a good way off. 



Q. As you were going by, why did you not try Prince Edw 

 before you went to Magdalen Islands! A. Because there art* better 

 at Magdalen Islands. I would not take the mackerel at Prince I 

 Island, because they are poor, nasty trash you get. 

 good mackerel caught there in my life. 



Q. Then, really, the reason why you did not try at 

 Island was that you were \tell acquainted with the t 

 and they were poor trash .'A. 1 am well acquainted 

 caught there. I have seen them and caught them. 



Q. You are sure you would not catch Prince Edward 

 at all ? A. I would not if I could get any anywhere els 



Q. They are poor, miserable trash ! A. They are gem 

 jou get there small, poor mackerel. 



Q How often have you fished in Prince Edward Island 

 three miles of the shore ? A. I have not fished there i 



Q. Then you were talking about something you kuov
