American landings for the season just ended totalled 10,339,140 pounds as against 18,192,500 pounds last year, 1 20,354,500 pounds in 1929 and 19,- and tne Senator third with 165.000 554,700 pounds In 1928. Canadian iares this year reached a total ol 5,697,800 pounds as compared with 6,445,500 pounds in 1930, 7,452.750 pounds in 1929 and 7,481,300 pounds In 1928. These figures take into account only fish that was actually landed at Prince Rupert and do not include offerings that may have come to the port but were actually delivered elsewhere. i For the final landing week of the 1 season, October 31 to November 6 Inclusive landings amounted to 720,- 000 pounds including 139,500 pounds i a few on American. Some half a i dozen fishing vessels, evenly divided between the American and Cana-I dlan fleets, were lost through burn-ling. Happily, there was Insurance coverage in all cases. Weather conditions on the banks, taking It as a whole, were probably better than average. . The Seattle schooner Paragon landed the most fish of any single boat at Prince Rupert during the season, bringing in 275,000 pounds in six trips. The Mitkof was second with 206,000 pounds In five trips 10c. a week! KEEP JJV TOUCH With events that are transpiring. TEN CENTS a week brings the DAILY NEWS to your house every day.

The Eastern Point led the American fleet for number of fares landed at Prince Rupert during the season, having brought In 12 catches for a total of 45,90 Opounds of fish. The Bonanza and Tahoma were- second in number of catches landed, bringing In 143,-500 pounds and 146,000 pounds of fish respectively In 11 trips. A number of boats brought in 10 trips. Cape Beale brought in the most fish of any individual vessel in the Canadian fleet. Her season's catch was 237,000 pounds in 7 trips. The Canadian fish and 580,500 pounds of Lysekll was second with 203.000 ' American. The price average for the pounds in 10 trips while the Livlng-week was fairly good. The high bid , stone was third with 187.000 pounds of the week for Canadian fish was in 15 trips. The Viking made most 10.7c and 4c which the Cape Beale , trips, 16 for1 a total of 116,600 received for 38,000 pounds and the ' pounds. The Ternen and the Living- low 6c and 4c which the Vera Beatrice was paid for 2000 pounds. The top American price of the week was 16c and 5c which price today was paid for 23,000 pounds and the low 8c and 4c which the Pacific received for 24,000 pounds. The two principal reasons, of course, for the large decrease in landings this year were the delay in getting fishing started last spring and the closing of the season two weeks earlier than in 1930. These factors, however, could not be held entirely accountable for the decrease. Owing to low price conditions. Prince Rupert lost a good deal of landings of American fish to Seattle, It Is admitted. The 1931 season was probably the worst on record so far as the fleet was concerned financially. Exceedingly low prices prevailed almost ! throughout the season. In all but a ' very few cases, nothing more than poor wages were earned and profits ; generally vanished. Happily enough, there were few fatalities or serious casualties during the season. There were no fa- stone each made 15 trips for totals of 109,100 and 187,500 pounds respectively. Scarcity of fish brought down the average poundage per trip. Cape Beale had the highest average per trip for the Canadian fleet 33,860 pounds. The Takla was second with average of 31,000 pounds per trip and Covenant third with 21,-123 pounds. For the American fleet, so far as landings at Prince Rupert were concerned, the Trinity was first with 66,500 pounds, Doric second with 46,750 pounds and the Paragon third with 45,633. Following Is a table showing the number of trips made, the amount of fish landed and the average fare per trip by each of the boats of the two fleets. Canadian .No. .

None of her company of five was injured. They were brought to Ju neau by the fishing craft Sadie Capt. James Stevens. The 8elma left Juneau with Capt. Forsythc. Harry Starr. Len Sparks, William Sparks and John Jones on a hunting trip to Point Retreat. Overtaken by a storm, the vessel was unable to hold her course and was carried to the forbidding beach of False Point Retreat. Besides salvaging the en gine, those aboard the lllfated craft saved their tent, firearms, ammunition and other personal effects, all of which was put aboard the Sadie when she arrived at the scene of the wreck. The Selma carried no Insurance.

All Canadian boats were In yesterday, the Lysekll being the last. The big Canadian halibut boat Takla, Capt. Chris Parkvold, has been fishing black cod out of New 25,25 Westminster this fall. The vessel is 35,000 now on her second trip. The Takla landed only five halibut catches at Prince Rupert during the past season for a total of 155,000 pounds.
