reaching eighteen degrees south, and as one cask per day of iced 
sea-water would be ample for a box of cod and one of herring, it 
appears to me that it is well worthy of an early trial. But whether 
we introduce cod and herring or not, there is no doubt of the fact 
that we have fish of such quantity and of such quality, that it only 
requires that capital and labour bo applied with ordinary prudence 
and sagacity to make our fisheries one of the great interests of the 
colonies.
