Facts as to changes in location and mode of conducting American fish- 

 eries 

 Most of our vessels are codfish ing on the Ocean Banks and nome"of 



them are off our own shores mackerelliug We send no vessels into lite 



Bay of St Lawrence this year. Our experience is that the Mackerel 



fishery there is a failure. Last year we sent one vessel 150 Tons with 



20 Men and she brought home as her seasons work 70 Bbls of mackerel. 



as that fishery has been the last o years to pursue it would be ruinous. 



Our Vessels enter British waters only for supplies & Bait for which we 



pay cash
