Fishing on Sunday.

Sunday fishing, which has long been looked upon as sacrilegious tn the Isle of Man, threatens to lose some of its terrors for the “unco guid,” notes an exchange. Until recently the North of England and Scotch fishermen engaged in the Manx herring trade have Sunday so rigorously that they have remained In port from Saturday morning to Monday afternoon. Fishermen from the South, resenting the loss of two night’s fishing, have tried to break t through the tradition and a Fleetwood boat put out to sea one Sunday evening recently, returning the next day with a good catch. The buyers at first looked askance at the herring as “Sun-day-caught.’’ but finally they were sold at a fair price. > r
