.!//// -Jiw. S*t/>l<ii,}<fi H'u/. Went with the lioat early this morning to pick up the 

 trannnel net : a good catch of sharks and other animals was secured. 



Weighed anchor a little before noon and stopped at Marcus Island, where we tried 

 to land but found it too risky owing to the heavy surf. Shot two shags off the island. 

 Trawled in -Jo fathoms at the entrance of Saldanha Bay with an otter trawl and caught 

 the following : about eight species of fish, two species of crustaceans, a large number of 

 big . iayti-li. and a whole host of other animals, which we had no time to sort. Quit* 

 a record catch.
