FISHERMAN’S LIFE
IS NO EASY ONE
of action from the time his boat
reaches the fishing grounds until
he gets back to market. Every
minute of his time is packed with
hard, rough, dangerous work, es
pecially In stormy weather. If tile
ves.cl is a trawler, when the banks
■or fishing grounds) are reached
the trawler net Is swung over
board and dragged across the
ocean bed. After an hour or so
the trawl in hauled aboard, dump
ed on the deck and set again.
