The San Juan Fish & Packing Company purchased the cargoes of the Daisy (Aug.25) [[strikethrough]]and the Senator (Sept.7),[[/strikethrough]] while it owns the San Juan.^[[& Starr.]] The company states the slips containing the records of these cargoes have been destroyed.^[[San Juan's catch is quantity reported by captain when he arrived.]] Couldn't find the date of the LaPaloma trip, but think it must have been in September. I am not sure that this is complete as the buyers pay very little attention to where the fish come from. Should I hear of any additional will let you know. [[signature]] J. N.
