' The firft Pitt called Maljobercn^ is not properly a Pit t 
like a Cauldron, but only a depreflion of the bottom with- 
out' any holes in it : but there grows much Grafs and 
Weeds, and may Fifh are Catched therein; Three days 
after the Water begins to Ebb, this Pitt is emptied : Then 
the Parifh Clark oiSeedorff gives Notice thereof by Toll- 
ingaBell, and all the Inhabitants of the Town, Old and 
Young, Men and Women, lay afide all other Bufinels 
and go to Fifhing, ftark naked as they were born, with- 
out any regard to Modefty or Shame. The Fifh they 
Catch, they divide in halves, one part they give to the 
Prince oiEggenbe'g^ as the Lord of the Mannour, the o- 
ther half is their own. 
^ ( 2. ) The Pitt Velkioherch is emptied the third day af- 
ter Mdjoherch, the manner and right of Fifliing as in 
that. ' 
( ) Four Hours after this, the Pitt Kjtmine begins to 
empty ; here they generally Fifla with a Trawle, as in fe- 
veral other Pitts of lelTer Note, having firft purchafed 
leave of the atorefaid Lord of the Mannour. Here, as 
likewife in the Pitt { ^.^ Sueinskajamma, (which finks 
one hour after Kamir/e') is miich Fiih caught, and an a- 
bundance oflargeCV/?^//, but they are lean and of no good 
taft. _ . . 
■ ' ( 5.) The fifth Pitt dries five days after /C^- 
r/jine^. In this and the other Pitts which follow, they Fifh 
with'a long Nett or Sayne. Herein' they can have no 
more than five or fix HawPs, by realbn of the great 
fwiftneft wherewith the Water runs away at the holes in 
the Bottom, ( which is fiich that a Horle can hardly.keep 
f)ace with it ) and carries^ away the Fifli' with great ' vio^ 
ence under the Earth. ' Some tiiiies. when the Fifhermeii 
are not nimble, they can fcarce get two Hawfs before the 
Water be gon ; to prevent whicli they have a Mark near
