Report of D. J. Webb of twelve days' work rescuing native

Rapids City. III.. October 18. 1890. 

 S. P. Bartlett, Esq., Secretary: 



Dear Sir:— Herewith please find vouchers and report for the work done 

 here. Estimating the hauls at about the same, we have transferred from 

 the drying pools to the river, in all, about as follows: 



Bullheads 



Bass 



Croppies 



Sunfish 



Carp 



Buffalo 



Pickerel and pike 



Hickory shad and miscellaneous fish 



Mnking total of

The hickory shad were very thick, and I presume we put In more than 

 the number estimated. The bass, croppie, sunfish and pickerel were in 

 fine condition: and all went off into the deep water at once. We did not 

 get over one-sixth of our territory. 



Yours ver. trulv.

 mission Hateliing Station at Sandusky. 0., in the cars of the 

 U. S. Fish Commission, the use of which, with their crews, 

 w-as furnished us ivoe, for our distribution, by the U. S. Fish
