83/4 fishes per hour average; 
Needlefish were fairly common in the area of the 
light, but did not succeed in capturing any sneci-- 
mens. One school of mullet came through the light, 
but again no success. At 2100 the sea was becoming 
ouite rough, so a watch was maintained until 2200 
As only one or two fishes had appeared during that 
time, the light was taken in.
