reaching eighteen degrees south, and as one cask per day of iced 

 sea- water would bo ample for a box of cod and one of herring, it 

 appears to me that it is well worthy of an early trial. But whether 

 we introduce cod and herring or not, there is no doubt of the fact 

 that we have fish of such quantity and of such quality, that it only 

 requires that capital and labour be applied with ordinary prudence 

 and sagacity to make our fisheries one of the great interests of the 

 colonies.
