OPERATIONS OF SCHOONER GRAMPUS, 



593 



were collected. At 2.30 p. in. Gay Head bore abeam, and a little later 

 we spoke with the schooner Lizzie Maud, of Portland, off Maneinslia 

 Bight. Her captain reported getting 800 large mackerel in this locality 

 the day before. We hove-to off Manemsha Bight to look for mackerel, 

 and saw one school containing probably a barrel, which, however, sunk 

 out of sight before we had an opportunity to attempt a capture. Later 

 in the afternoon the wind increased to a fresh breeze, accompanied by 

 rain squalls, and the vessel was headed for Wood's Holl, where we ar- 

 rived about dark. 



Dr. T. H. Bean left the vessel on the 15th and proceeded to Glouces- 

 ter, in compliance with instructions from the Commissioner. The Com- 

 missioner visited the vessel during the afternoon and made arrange- 

 ments to have the crew assist in preparing a shipment of live lobsters 

 for the West Coast. After completing this work, the purse-seine was 

 prepared for storing, and, together with other apparatus taken on 

 board" at the beginning of the cruise, was transferred to the store-house 

 at this station, in accordance with verbal instructions from the Com- 

 missioner. Completing the storing of the apparatus, the vessel sailed 

 for Gloucester, Mass., on the 18th, where we arrived the next day. 

 From the 19th of June until the end of the fiscal year the vessel laid at 

 Gloucester painting and refitting for her summer's work. 



On account of failiug health I was granted leave of absence from the 

 24th of June until the vessel was fitted for sea, the repairs being under 

 the direct supervision of the first officer, Mr. E. E. Hahn. 



The following tabulated statements present in a concise form the re- 

 sults of the work performed on the cruise:
