Q. What do you think they would? A. Well, that VCMW! w*otti

 a barrel average. Take out $1.75 for nacking, and it, doeaa't laavo 

 much. 



Q. Does that $1.75 include the barrel T A. The barrel and oalt, M| 

 inspection ; that is ten cents more.

 average, but as it has been named here a inimlierof time*. How many 

 barrels ought these vessels to get jear in aud year out, U> make tt 

 paying business? A. To make it pay they should get 1,UUO barrel* to 

 make money. 



Q. Well, that is to make money for everybody, is it not T A. YIJ 

 that makes a little something. 



Q. But take the cost of the voyage. We will say nothing about Ik* 

 interest on the vessel itself how many barrels should he get ? A. 

 Well, 500 or 600. It is according to what kind of mackerel. 



Q. I was asking you to take them at $10. You thought that -too 

 high? A. Well, taking $10, if they got 400 barrels the lull* would he 

 about $2,000 to run a vessel like that for four months. The other *_',uuo 

 would go to the captain and the crew. 



Q. Then before the owners could get anything they should run op 

 above $4,000 ? A. About that. It would be sate to reckon thai way .

Q. Now, Mr. James Mackay says that 400 barn-Is were obtain 

 trip that year, as I understood it ! A. 1 don't know, I never made 

 money.

 ever got since she was built.
