1 Line fishing carried on at these creeks ; land- 

 V ings show a slight increase. Four steam 

 1 drifters added to the fleet. 



Herring fishing rather better, and line fishing 

 similar to that of the previous year. Boat- 

 builders were kept busy building steam 

 drifters, in which theie is an increase of five. 



Very little done at fishing, Fishermen, as 

 usual, worked from the large centres. Five 

 steam drifters were added to the fleet. 

 Boa tbuilders were well occupied throughout 

 the year, and are likelyto be for some time. 



The landings show an increase, but the value 

 is similar to that of the i^revious year. 



An increase in quantity and value, chiefl}' in 

 herrings. 



Line-fishing, the only fishing carried on, had 

 results similar to those of the precedingyear

 their time and energies to herring fishing, 

 which they prosecute at the various sta- 

 tions in Scotland, England, and Ireland. 



Line-fishing only prosecuted locally ; fisher- 

 men chiefly employed at herring fishing at 

 the principal stations around the coast.
