Today most of the large trawlers, and certainly all the fleets of trawlers, have at least one boat equipped with wireless. • This enables them to keep in touch with ports and owners. They can learn when fish is scarce and prices likely to justify a race back to port, or when a general glut has forced down prices so that they might as well stay another night at sea. The wireless installations also en- able n-able:them to keep in touch with the aeropause which have been used for "spotting" shoals of herring, so that the trawlers can move off at once to the most profitable fishing grounds.

The game continues until every person in the circle has learned just where the catch lies, and is able to pass the scissors with the correct remark. This may sound simple, but it always pro- duces considerable amusement and it rare indeed that everyone in the party discovers the secret. The secret is simply this: if either the arms or the legs of the person passing the scissors are crossed, the scissors are said to he passed crossed. If the person re- ceiving them has either his arms or legs crossed, he receives them crossed. If neither legs nor arms are crossed, the scissors are passed orreceived uncrossed. Clever-play- ers leverplay-ers bide - the secret by not crossing the legs, as that is usually quickly, discovered, but depending entirely upon the crossing of the arms while receiving or passing the scissors.
