There are now three of the 

 modern steam drifters 

 owned at this creek. 

 Crews, as usual, prose 

 cuted the fishing all 

 round the coast. At this 

 station there was not 

 much lishing done, yet 

 more herrings and Avhite 

 fish were landed than in 

 19C5.

One steam drifter has been 

 owned at this station for 

 several years, and has 

 been remarkably success- 

 ful. Other three are 

 being acquired by local 

 crews. In general the 

 crews of this port were 

 very fortunate at the 

 stations where they pro- 

 secuted the herring fish- 

 ing. The quantity of 

 haddocks landed was 

 greater, and of herrings 

 and cod less.

At the different herring 

 fishing centres the fisher- 

 men of fds port were in 

 general very successful. 

 As herring fishers they 

 are advancing with the 

 time. Three steam fish- 

 ing craft are now owned 

 at the port, and more are 

 being built to the oider 

 of local crer- s. During 

 the year under review an 

 increased quantity of 

 cod, haddocks, and 

 flounders were landed.

Of late years the herring 

 fishing crtiffc tlist were 

 owned by the crews of 

 this place have got worn 

 out, and have not been 

 replaced A good num- 

 ber of the men served as 

 hired hands on board of 

 boats belonging to other 

 places. Less time was 

 therefore bestowed upon 

 Hue fishing.
