•' ;.'r . - The fish were all gathered from the
' - .several kids and thrown into the one
. amidships which adjoins. the "gurry
kid:" .The dressing table is then set up
against the side -of the latter, and, tali.;
.,ing our several positions, we are many
for action.
Our throater, Lowell by nAme, stands
, - facing the dressing kid and, reaching
•,down, seizes a fish with his left hand,

upon the opposite side. During the re-
mainder of the voyage, I represented
thaeindividual, and was indeed thankful
that our first cateh was not a large one,
for I was certainly anything but an ex-
pert when I -tackled my first fish.
• The operation of heading is after this
manner: The header is provided ,with
woolen mittens having a thumb and fore-
• finger. As the fish is slid across the table
bY the throater„ the 'header seizes it by
placing the forefinger .pf the left hand
firmly ia the fish's eye and the taumh
under the lower jaw. Then with the
forefinget of his right hand -he grasps the
