Oysters. 



Period of the naval 

 war. — Fishing, on our 

 coasts was very much 

 neglected, on account of 

 so many of the fishermen 

 being required for the 

 navy, and also on account 

 of the trouble caused by 

 the enemy's cruisers. Dur- 

 ing this time of forced re- 

 laxation from fishing, the 

 beds became so thickly 

 stocked that in some 

 places the oysters were a 

 yard deep.
