It is customary to look on the aver- age fisherman who pursues his calling for a Iiving as an impecunious sort of a person, but it is evident that beer and skittles are occasionally his por- tion. In reply to the question as to what was the best haul of mackerel | he had ever made, an ex-fisherman of Gloucester, Mass., recently said: “The best trip I ever made was when we tcok a big fare of mackerel off Block Island and salted them. I was getting $30 a month as cook, together | You may | with my share of the catch. or you may not know that the cook is the hardest worked man on a fishing schooner. He simply has to keep busy all the time and give the crew the five meals a day, with luncheons between times, which seem necessary to enable them to do the hard work called for when fish are plenty. We cruised the time I am speaking about west and north of Blcok Island, and the fish were schooling well. It was night and day work, always with a man at the masthead after the sun went down, when the fish would show up from the phosphorescence in the water. The skipper saw more money in salting the catch than in trying to run fresh fish | ered them in. Well, sir, when the profits | of them twenty-one days were divided the share of every man was $354 on top of which I zot 321 for as cook.
