steamers and sailing-vessels render dredging in a small boat anything 

 but pleasant, and is at times even dangerous. From the Plymouth 

 trawlers are to be obtained some good things, but they are a rough set 

 of men and very mercenary, and have some extraordinary ideas of the 

 value of what they bring, although without any reason, as on one oc- 

 casion I had to pay them 10s. for the most worthless rubbish.
