St. John's, N. R, 14th Oct., 1875. 



I have the lionor to report on the places visited in her Majesty's 

 Kliip Swalhw, under my command, whilst employed on the Fislieries — as 



follow : — 



Gandeii Bay, June 27. 



There is a fine river at the liead of this Bay. Salmon late ; only 

 just in. 



Canada Bay, July 1. 



Anchored at the head of this Bay. There are two Salmon Rivers, one 

 of which is fished, and salmon just commencing to run. The Frencli 

 do not come up the Bay. 



Co2\TiiE Bay, July 3. 



The English ftimilies are increasing fast in this Bay (about twenty- 

 three now). It is a great Bay for salmon, and as the French do not in- 

 terfere, it is the principal fishery. I was told that there are, this year, 

 ibrty-five fleets of nets, as well as as many more single nets. It is ex- 

 traordinary how they can all catch salmon, but they do. The total catch 

 was quoted to me at from two hundred to two thousand barrels.
