This season the fishing industry has
been more actively engaged in here
than for many years past, and so far
with very fairsuccess. There are seven
boats employed, manned as follows :—
"Repeal, Capt. N. Murray, D. McLeod;
"Maple Leaf," Capt. James Ferguson,
Wesley Erwin, Arthur Peck ; 'Little
John,' Capt. Wm. Ferguson, Wm.
Baker, Roht. Irwin; "Discount," Capt.
Chas. Dressler, John Jones, James Mc-
Donald ; "Helen McLeod," Capt. Hugh
McLeod, Alex. Brown, John Gordon ;
"Tar Bird," Capt. John Pollock, Frank
Keegan ; "Foam,". Capt. Charles Dress-
ler, Albert Woods. The fish are shipp-
ed by M. Ross and James Ferguson, to
dealers in London, St. Thomas, Hamil-
ton and other places, and a large
quantity is also sold through the coun-
try by peddlers.
Few residents of inland towns and
cities have any idea of the dangers
and losses connected with a fisherman's
life. During the winter, when there
is ice fishing, there is often danger of
the ice parting from the shore, and the
nets are often lost, and sometimes the
men have very narrow escapes. In
the summer long trips are made on the
lake, early stints being made, and
often when winds are unfavorable it is
very late when they return. The nets
which are sunk to the bottom of the
lake, are frequently much damaged by
being torn in stormy weather by logs
shaken about by the waves. A fisher-
man's life is far from being an easy or
profitable one.
