The herring fishing was vigorously and suc- 

 cessfully prosecuted at these stations, but 

 owing to a falling off in the landings of 

 line-fish the general results show a de- 

 crease as compared with last year. 



-Boats belonging to section land most of 

 their fish at Hoswick. Only small line and 

 hand line fish landed here.
