The water is alive with many whitened sail, and in the morning sun¬ the sight is an extremely pretty As tlie fishermen reach the shore’ first question asked them is, “ How fish this morning?” But the 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 always There received. are many amusing stories told about the appearance of black-fish, and occasion, they are not when “yarns,” either. On one services were lieiug held iu the village church, the minister being engaged in his sermon, some one in the street cried out “Black-fish!” Many iu the congregation heard it, and a rush 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 in “ 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 eloquently him. “luuf a share” was voted Some Thlnrs to Disbelieve.
