 1 chiefly in haddocks. Three steam drifters 

 1^ added to the fleet.

 in haddocks was made up by an increase 

 iu cod. There was an addition of three 

 steam drifters. 



Practically no fishing carried on. Fishermen 

 prosecuted their calling from the large 

 centres. The number of steam drifters 

 was increased by three. Boat - bxiilders 

 were moderately busy, and are likely to 

 be so for some time.
