[[page inverted]] [[circled]]93[[/circled]] about with a long seine; the got about 100 lbs a small fish about 6 inches long which they sold to the women gathered about with handbags and baskets, several had only paper bags. There was some little delay before the sale started. I thought the were doing everything for net, untying rocks used as sinkers, hauling net out on sand beach to dry (& what-not). But all this was not the delay - they were waiting for the scales; rusty old pair, with rusty scoop & weights (only saw one or two weights. As soon as that was set on thwart of boat sale started. Apparently had been in use by boat we saw crowd about earlier. The fishermen get 9 pence per lb. and divided up among the boat crew with something out maybe for scale use, & for time to mend net and rope to haul it, there isnt much profit in the deal. They go out to haul seine at 4-5 a.m. get back & haul boat upon the beach about 10:30, sales start at 11 and maybe last till 12 or later. Long days work for small recompense. They all seem strong enough, musclar, and reasonably well fed. [[end page]] [[start page]] St. Georges Hbr.
