MXIJSMAX OX IIAUBl'T HANKS By Howard White The unit of halibut gear as used by vessels of the type of the Ingxed H lUHthelkariebssUilBf of aU "ground line" of 48-lb. tarred hemp line. Each line Is SO fathoms long, making the n-tjre skate 300 fathoms or 1,800 feet. In preparing or 'sticking" the skate for use In fishing, a piece of "becket twine" about a foot long is put through the strands of the ground-line st Intervals of 13 feet, and hitched, leaving a loop projecting about 4 Inches. Thus each line carries 20 to 22 beckets. maklnr iibout 120 to the skate. Each hook is j seized ti the end of a piece of "gan-' f ion' 1 16-lh tarred cotton or hemp ,iiL.e about 5 ft long, with iinea sal' 25 man twine which has been ' treated; wAf plo-taf -and wound on a short- .stick fr convenience. The other end of the ganglon is then" attaciied to a becket i. U' . ground-line ,.w)th, a "becket When preparing gear ashore, be for attaching the ganglona the ground -line Is run through a ring and colled, which takes out some of the twist and allowt the line to coll and handle more easily When prepared on board. If the line "cranky" and does not coll readily t is tewed at full length, then hauled ;n with the power gurdy and colled down. The towing is believed to weaken cos line by taking out some of tht :lst. so lines that do not require such treatment are preferred. A loop is spliced in each end of each line, by which the six Jines are fastened together to form the skate, which In turn has a loop at either end for attaching the buoy line The ground-line Is said to be "stuck" when the ganglons have been attached. A "string" of gear is two or more akstes fastened together and set out end to end. In baiting the line. a whole herring, either fresh or frozen, is attached to each hook. 611ces of salmon or pieces of devllflab the tojOlbufa delicacy of about the same size as a herring are sometimes used. The line is icaref ully coiled as It Is baited, the hooks- twln placed inside the coll. so that each hook will go out separately and not catch in the colls when being run out over the ' chute. The necessity of car In this matter was shown one morning when a number of coils went over the chute together causing a snarl which looked utterly hopeless at first, and took Fred Llndjuist and me an hour to straighten out. To do this, all gan srlans were first removed, then the line was untangled. Other item of gear vary somewhat on different vessels, but those used on the Ingred II. are typical of the general practice. The end of a buoy line oerit to the end of the first skate 'to oe set. with a 25-lb. anchor attached o the buoy line close to the end, and 4 glass ball float 15 fathoms from thef 'tfithor keeps the slack from dragging ind chafing on tht bottom. Buoy line a kept in 25-fathom coils, of which .o or more are used with each "siring" gear, depending oa the depth of water and run of tide. To the upper end of the line Is attached a bamboo pole about 12 feet long, with a red flag at the top. eight 6-ln. corks lashed to the middle and a 5- or 6-lb. sash- weight attached to the bottom, causing Ihe pole td float upright. About three fathoms distant is attached a buoy, consisting of a keg or a canvas bladder. Effort attaching the buoy line, the first skate of gear is placed In the bottom of the chute, with the end passed through the mouth of chute and around the side of the boat. Tht chute standing In the stern. Is a distinctive feature of Pacific halibut boats engaged In longtllnt fishing. (To be continued) Delay in the construction of the new overhead pedestrian bridge connectlsg the', foot of McBrlde Street with tba west end of the government wharf ha caused by reason of the fact that provincial pubU--works -ad railway engineers have been unable .to agree on suitable plans. However. It la hoped the matter will soon be settled so the interrupted and much delayed work may proceed. The Maasett seine boats Adelaide J. and Chief Weah. owned by George Jones and Matthew Youmans respectively, arrived in port yesterday after having spent tht summer operating la the Vancouver Island region. Both will continue tbelr voyage to the Queen Charlotte Islands as aooa as weather permits. 1
