sible for this bit of "sarkasm:" On the

propriations which men fritter away in
such places would bo to them ample for
the completion of such contracts."

If the applicant is color blind he

inspector to run on vessels, in daytime
only. By the order also the roasters of
vessels are required to exclude from the
pilot-houses of their steamers all persons
not connected with the navigation of the
vessel unless by Bpecial permission of
the inspector, and then no one can be
allowed inside tho pilot-house who would
interfere with the duties of the pilot in
anywav. In case of violation of the
the conditions of the permit it will be
rescinded.

Preparations are being made in San j

the first to sail: The entire fleet general
ly consists of about fifteen vessels, but as
iuo caicn ior too lass season was exceed
ingly poor, it is expected that this sea
son's outfit will compriso but nine
schooners and barkentine3. The various
firms havo different places, known only
to themselves, to which they send their
vessels, and the greatest care is taken to
keep the good fishing spots a secret for
their own benefit. On evory voyago each
vessel locates tho best fishing grounds.
In some years tho fish are abundant in
one place, and being migratory, are
scarce in tha next year. Tho fleet re
mains in Alaskan waters from two
months and a half to three months, vis
iting all tho islands along the southern
shore of Alaska. Tho men Ieavo tho
schooners in small boats and fiBh with
lines from 4 in the morning till 4 in the
afternoon, tbo greatest catch being in the
afternoon. The greatest obstacle to cod
fishing is the dense, cold fogs that durinc
the season hang over the islands. Last
year one of the men got lost in the fog,
and for eleven days was compelled to live
on seagulls' eggs, and was at last found
in a starving condition.
