The gillers an w ell as the fcine-haulcrs nre

that a long sclne w ith sin ill meshes cannot

with this arrangement whoietho meshes

They are se thick in the water that they
lannet get out of eaeli ether's way in

before ihe sclne is landed.

with about as much inore rope, mid takes
in a scope ofnbeut four miles. It islanded
en .Spcsulla Islind, about live miles below
Havre de Grace. It is impessible te land
such a sclne when full. It would pull the
