R. a;; a;`l Editor and Proprietor. FISHING IN DEEP WATER, Having made previous arrangements for spending e, day on one of the fishing tugs, a representative of The Signal was down at the dock about 5:80 Saturday morning. Here, the engineers of the various tugs were busily engaged in rale• iug steam, About 0 o'olook the captains and men arrived, and a start was made for the fishing grounds. Outside the piers a picturesque sight met the view, About half a mild out were the rest or the tugs, with the smoke rolling from their stacks and blackening the sky to leeward. Farther out were the sailing fish boats, with their white and brown perigue-rigged eaile. As the boats have to steam for over two hours before they reach the fishing grounds. a description here of them will not bo out of place. The tugs are about 75 feet long, 12 feet wide and draw two or three feet of water. In the bow each has a roller fixed on the toffrail. This is to prevent the nets, when they are being lifted, from injuring the side, and so as to make it easier to lift them. A plat. form, about ten feet long, extends across the boat behind the roller. In the stern is a space to pile the boxes which hold the nets and' fish. The engines are from 10 to 20 H. P., and drive the boats eight or ten miles an hour. They are manned by a captain, an engineer and four men, The fish boats are about 40 feet long, with a o cam and draver little water. good k draw very manned by three able sailors they will survive a storm that would send many a larger craft to the bottom. Owing to the large area of Bail they carry, some of them are very fast, and with a strong wind will keep pace with the tugs. A word here about the nets. Two pieces of stout cord are laid parallel, about four and a half feet apart, and the epaoe between filled up with meshes of very strong, fine twine. On one of the lines are a number of lead sinkers, and on the other en equal number of wooden floats are fastened. The leads are suffi- ciently heavy to dink the floats, and when the nets are placed in the water, they sink their side to tbe bottom, and tbe floats keep their side the width of the net from the bottom. When the fish are bunting for food at the bottom, they do not perceive the fine meshes of the net, and run their heads through. When they endeavor to back out the meshes oatch them by the gills and hold them fast. The more they struggle, the worse they beoome entangled in the net. The nets are set in "gangs" of twelve boxes each, and stretch for five nod a half miles. They are generally set a week or ten days before they are lifted. At either end of the nets is placed a buoy. This is a long pole thrust through a wooden sphere, with a piece of cloth or e. cedar branoh attached to the upper end, and a heavy piece of iron on the bottom end to keep it perpendicular in water. To the lower end is attached a line varying in length with the depth of the water, and fastened to a large atone whish serves as an anchor. After two hours' running the buoy is sighted. Each boat has a different sign- s different colored cloth, two or three pieces, or a ceder branch -by wbioh it reoognozes its buoy. The men, who have been asleep or tidying rap, now have their breakfast, and by the time the buoy is reached, are prepared for business. The tug is laid alongside the buoy, which is seized and hauled on board. Next mace thirty or forty fathoms of rope with a large atone attached ; the nets are also attached to this rope, and one of tbe men takes hold of the net at the taflrail and walks backward across the platform, drawing the net with him. Another man now seizes the net and se• pests the same process • the first man again takes bold, and the same taotios are gone through. While this is going on one of the remaining two men is mare - fully placing the nets in a box,' and the other 1e extricating the fish. 'When the first two then have lifted a box, or eight hundred yards, they exchange plaoes with the other men. Every few minutes the engine is started and allowed to run for a abort time in order to keep the tug up to the nate. If this were not done the men would have to pull the tug nlong be- sides lifting the nets. The doh that are oaupht are mostly trout, weighing from 000 to six pounds, and a few whit,fish. When the nets are all in, the tug is al- lowed to run for five or six miles in order to reach a. new fishing ground and allow the men time to get their dinner, When the place where the captain Ilea decided to set the nate is reached, the engine ie oheoked down to two or three miles an Moue. The buoy is dropped over the stern, and the rope played out. One man takes hie plaoe on the taffrail and another stands at the stern. The net, drawn by the weight of the stone, runs througih one hand of the man on the taffIeil. With the other hand be catches bold of the line which has the leads on and separates it from the other line, while the other man oatehes arid' stretch• es the net to its full width. The leads reaoh the water first and sink their aide down in the water, and, as more of the net reaches the water, they sink the whole not to the bottom, It takes about three hours to 8000 the lieu. While this le going On the other ]nert. are oloaning the fiob, A beard, with a hole in the pouter, hoe been plliood over a barrel, A ilei le pinged on elle board and its gills taken oat by a out or two of it sharp knife. The lowes side le then out open pearly up to the point where the gide brave been taken out and the knife inserted book of the offal, wbioh .le then pushed out. A few serapes liniebea the gleaning, and the fish ie thrown 'into a box, while the offal ie pushed into the barrel to be taken ashore and buried, When the note are all set the tug is headed for home. The captain, whose business this is, knowe exactly in what direotion this Important plane lies, If there is another tug starting for home at the same: time, a rime 0S sato to be forth coming, as the men know that the ono wbioh wins will Have its deb unloaded Bret and the orew allowed to go home. One thing that is notiosablo as Gods, rich ie approached le the high olay banns that extend for several miloe along the shore to North and South. After a time the white lighthouse on the bill comes into prominence, followed Boon after by the beaoong on the North pier. When the dook is reached the fiolr are carried into the fish house and weighed. They are then paolced in marts and bar. role. Some ice is planed in the bottom, and a row or two of fish placed on top ; then another row of fish and another of we, until the box is full. Nearly all the fish that are naught at this port are shipped to the Buffalo Fish Company's headgnarters, and some are sold in Goderioh and vicinity.-Goderloh Signal. LITERARY COMPETITION.
