A Miraculous Draught of Fishes

All the large shad and herring fisheries on the North Carolina sounds have closed operations for the season, it having been generally successful and profitable. Some of the herring catches were enormous and without Srecedent. Some three days ago, at Brinkley’s Croatan fishery in Croatan Sound, a wonderful haul was made. He caught and saved over 500,000 fish although be was two days and nights in saving them, working all on the beach to their utmo-t capacity.. In addition to what caught and saved many were l?t out of the seine or sold at greatly reduced rates in order to get clear of them. The haul is estimated by competent judges at OLO.OOO fishes, and is one of the largest on record.
