In dressing down the fare he prepared the dress kcclcrs or gutting tables, filled the wash-tubs, and saw to it that the gutting and shocking knives were sharp. He kept a tally of the “count” â€"all the dory-inates counted the fish they “keliclied” .hnld pens. caught or piled checked I") salt fish in Incidentally he learned and the correct way to salt and stack the cleaned fish, and learned the evils of “slack” salting and bad piling. was a hard daily grind, but the men were well fed, ate like horses, and slept like dead men. and the boy could feel his muscles hardening under the ’ work.

In this mannerâ€"a flying setâ€"th tered over some four miles of sea and left to set their baited trawls into the waters of the Bank. When the last dory had been left, the schooner was put about, the tail-rope belayed to windward, and the vessel jogged to leeward of the :tring. “Non, Frank," the cook had left the deck to attend to his culinary duties below, “ship th' penboards an' git tli' peWs out.

Thus the days passed as they wan- dered from berth to berth and Bank to Bank. It was good fishing weather; fish were striking good, and evenings saw the pens piled with gleaming cod and a sprinkling of haddock, bake, and pollock. Sometimes they fished in “flying sets" as described, and at other times they anchored with the big eight-inch manila fishing hawser over the bows, and the dories rowed out from the vessel and fishedin po- sitions with the schooner as a com- mon centre.
