-Mi. D. B. Lilly, one ot the best
known herring men of tbe West Coast,
is fo^the city today and informs as
that conditions on the West Coast this
winter are unprecedented, being tho
worst ln the remembrance of the oldest
inhabitant.
There are eight vessels frozen In at
Woods Island and vicinity, tome of
them with part cargoes of herring.
The Sheppard King and Jean Smith
of Lunenburg, which bad arrived there
to load, became frozen in before tbey
got their cargoes. The Aviator, an
auxiliary vessel owned by tbe Gortot.
Pew Co.. had 1,800 bblt. Scotch cure
on board and wanted 1.000 bbla. more
to finish. The Judlque, another American, owned by T. M. Nicholson, wa*'
empty when she became caught Ths
William C. Smith of Lunenburg had
part load ot frozen herring as did alto

Spencer Lake, another local vessel,
had 1,000 bblt. Scotch cured on board.

D. B. Lilly A Co.
Almotb the entire Scotch pack at
Middle Arm tor the season Is still
there amounting to about 5.600 bblt.
Some 2.200 bbls. are at Curling and the
Meadowt and will be shipped hy rail.
It is now being considered to get the
balance trucked to Curling and ship-.
tied from there to Port aux Basques.
The frozen herring would be loaded In
box cars, sent to Port aux Basques and
loaded In vessels there.
The heavy frost coming ao early
and unexpectedly threw everything Into confusion and caused the failure of
the herring fishery this season. Herring were never more plentiful In the
Arms but from the 4th December every
thing was blockaded.
Two hundred fleets of nets were
frozen In and It looked as it the whole
outfit was to be a total loss. Mr.
Lilly, however, wired Hon. W. F.
Coaker asking htm if he could At.
anything to help and the Minister of
Fisheries had the Sagona despatched
there without any loss of time. His
action and the splendid work of Capt
Tavcrnor resulted ln saving 100 fleets
f nets. Fifty fleets sank with the
-eight or herring that was in them
nd the other fifty could not be got at
The people Interested are very grate-
o Mr. Coaker and the Dept ot
Shipping for doing everything poss-

The opinion prevails amongst the
herring packers that had the steamer
Stanley, sent to Curling by the Canadian Fisheries Dtpt. made the effort

eed.
Our Informant tells ut that the entire pack ot Scotch cured at Bay of
Islands this season Is 9.600 bbls. aa
against 25.000 last year. In addition
to this were 8.000 bbls. frozen and 1.-
500 bblt. split barring.
There It at present a good demand
for frozen herring and It la expected to
