Gloucester fisher-ermen were the pioneers m this industry, and today they have a monopoly of this branch of the fishing business.The first cargo of frozen herring brought to the United States from Newfoundland,was in the winter of 1867. bv Capt Henry O. Smith of this port, in the schooner Flying Cloud. The cargo was sold to good advantage as bait to the vessels engaged in the Georges handline winter fishery, and a remunerative voyage was made.The following winter a fleet of six schooners engaged in this fishery, and good returns crowned their efforts. Capt Sylvanus Smith,now state senator from this district, was quick to see the advantage to be derived from this industry, and set sail lor Newfoundland in the winter of 1858, inthe schooner E, C. Smith.lie was followed by such men of undaunted courage as Capt James S. Ayer, the late Cants Andrew Leighton, Joseph Rowe and others, who today are the leading fishing and vessel owners in this city.Collector Pew, who has always manifested much interest ,in the fishermen of . _ his native city, furnishes the following | R,0gt WIHlany SClstatistics of this winter’s frozen and salt herring fishery, which has been whollywith Newfoundland, andin the space offour months.The number of vessels from port was 79,with an aggregate tonnage of 7289 tons.Four vessels were lost, two of them with all their crew of 13 men.Three of the fleet made two trips, and one has not yet returned. There were 77 cargoes entered at this nort, aggregating 11,982,996 pounds of frozenherring and 2,617,120 pounds of salt tiering. Of these vessels 67 discharged at this port 6,224.620 pounds of frozen and2,000,016 pounds of salt herring.The total amount discnarged at Gloucester was 7,224,638 pounds.

The 2,001,612 pounds landed in New York was all for food. The 1.036,944 of frozen herring was also used for food, and theentire receipts of salt herring—2,61.7,120pound8“entered into food consumption.The average price realized from vessels at various ports for frozen herring w*as 1/4 cents per pound, and for salt herring it wasIV2 cents per pound.It can be seen by these figures that the receipts of herring are enormous as compared with other branches of the fishing industry, and. while it has furnished a cheap commodity of food, it has a Go enabled the fishing fleet from Gloucester and elsewhere to extensively pursue the winter fishery, from which the best returns are received,for without the use of this halt supply, the whole fishing fleet, with the exception of those engaged in the fresh halibut fishery, would have to remain idle until the return of menhaden and other bait fishes on the New England coast late in the spring.St Johns, ous marine Saturday ni and boys wtice near sho sea by drift frozen to dlt; very badly 1 The ice he Saturday af from this n outlying set for a seal himerous, an many miles Towards e changed to ice and driv 200 or 300 n ing ice, an hastened to number sueNightfall,hunters sti fires were li of safety, bi reached the was so far efforts to re Messenge after midn ing steame the unforti who, it is st During tl part of the
