first question asked them is, “ How

excitement is when a school of
black-fish appear off the shore. Then
the enthusiasm knows no bounds. Tho
cry village 1 ‘Black-fish I” will startle the whole
like the cry of “ Fire ! ” although
it will not awaken the same emotions.
The alarm is sounded and re-echoed
through the streets; men, women and
children rushing over the hills to the
hay in hot pursuit; and there is a reason
for this excitement, as there is “money
in it,” Every boat that can Vie obtained
is filled with an eager and anxious crew;
for every one who joins in the chase gets
his “share” in the profits, no matter
who he or she may lie. The fish are
driven in to the shore and killed for the
blubber and tlie excellent quality of oil
■which is taken from the jaw-bones and
usixl for oiling the works of watches.
A great deal of money is made in this
way, and oftentimes a single “share”
will amount to fifty or seventy-five dol¬
lars, while ten or fifteen dollars is almost

are many amusing stories told
about the appearance of black-fish, and

services were lieiug held

engaged in his sermon, some one in the
street cried out “Black-fish!” Many

was made for the door, when the minis¬
ter cried out “ Stop ! ” Some turned
about, minister expecting his to excitement lx< reproved, only but said, the

“ Now all take a fair start! ” and joined
tlie crowd himself, and when pursuing
tlie Hb1i shouted out ‘ * Hallelujah ! Hal¬
lelujah!” He got his “share,” which
amounted to S25.
At another time, one man, who had
failed to put in an appearance until the
fish were driven in, claimed his share,
a* he hail not heard the alarm ns soon as
the others. A town-meeting had to lie
called to settle the matter, and though
it was a unanimous vote that his aliare
was forfeited, that yet he pleaded his ease so
