For boating, fishing, &c., one is perfectly safe in the 

 hands of the fishermen, and extortion is not in their 

 vocabulary. A boat can be hired for pleasure for the 

 small fee of 6s. per week in the summer, whilst one or 

 two good shooting punts are available for the fowler ; one 

 contains an up-to-date breech loader, the hire of which is 

 IDS. per diem, the hirer taking all spoils. 



There are also several seaworthy cobles suitable for the 

 journey to the Fame Islands. For such a trip the usual 

 charge is one pound for the party of four or more. Messrs. 

 G. and T. Kyle, and others, let these cobles and sailing 

 boats.
