India-ink sketch (30 by 40 inches) of a halibut schooner on her home- 

 ward passage in winter, headreaching in a northwest gale, 

 under two-reefed foresail, riding sail, and jib with the bonnet 

 out. The vessel is represented as being iced up, which is gen- 

 erally the case under such conditions. Drawn by H. W. El- 

 liott and J. W. Collins.

 ter, Mass., at anchor on the Grand Bank. The crew is repre- 

 sented as engaged in baiting their trawl-lines on deck. Drawn 

 by H. W. Elliott and J. W. Collins. 



Fishing schooner lying-to in a gale. 



Sketch (30 by 40 inches) of a fishing schooner lying-to in a heavy 

 winter's gale. The vessel is on the port tack and has a two- 

 reefed foresail and a reefed riding sail set. This is the sail 

 under which these vessels generally lie-to in a gale. Drawn by 

 H. W. Elliott and J. W. Collins. 



Fishing schooner tripped by a sea. 



Sketch (30 by 40 inches) of a fishing schooner tripped and knocked 

 down by a sharp, breaking sea, while scudding in a gale. It 

 is not an unusual circumstance for fishing schooners to be thrown 

 on their beam-ends in heavy gales, and it is believed many are 

 lost in this manner. Drawn by H. W. Elliott and J. W. Col- 

 lins.
