On Saturday Satur-day a small yawl, owned by Matt McGuinness. x Blaekrock. anil manned by three men, went out at 4 o'clock (high tide) to set nets for the herring fishery. fish-ery. They had scarcely been set when the men no- ticed that the. fioats dipped suddenly.' Thinking that something had got caught in the meshes, they began to haul in. Their surprise can be imagined when they took in their nets, to find that they were filled witii herrings so completely that some of the fish had to be emptied out to allow of their being hauled in. The men had set eighteen nets, but were only able to take in the contents of four, which entirely filled the boat. |
