Leslie Irving, Greek River, with his wife and family embarked in his motor boat. with complete outfit for the seasons‘ lobster-fishing at Pictou Island. The strait proved to be literally an ice-jam, and after some futile manoevurtng the boat was caught in the ice-flees, staved in, and sunk with all accoutrements. Luckily the occupants found a pre- carious footing on the ice wrack, and were compelled to pass a long and perilous vigil there until res- cued by the intrepid crew of a motor-boat from Pictou. N. S. and taken safely to port. Mr. Irving, a veteran lobster-fisherman, has had many thrilling experiences wlfli the elements, but apparently never such a. close call. From meagre reports the family are all apparently well. following their harrowing exper- ience. The loss of the boat. engine and outfit will be considerable-P. PARLOR SOCIAL-A most en- lovable evening was spent at the home of Mr. Robert Matheson, Clyde River, on Wednesday even- ing, April 19th, when s large num- ber of members and friends of the Young People's society assembled to hold a social. The President, Mr. John Hearts acted as chair- man. Following is the program: chorus by the choir, vocal solo. John Murray, reading, Edward MacPhail, piano solo, William Mur- chison, vocal solo, Helen MacPhee, reading, Winnie Best. piano solo, Mrs. Gordon MaeKinnon, vocal solo, John Hearts, reading,‘ Rena Neill, piano solo, William Murchi- son, vocal duct, Winnie Best. and John I-feartz, reading, Aulden Mae- Phaii, vocal solo, Helen MiaoPhee, chorus by choir. Mrs. J. Heber Mac- Phail and William Murchison were the acoompanists for the vocal numbers. The program called forth much favorable comment. Contests and music followed. There was ant- mated conversation, joyous laugh- ter and a good time in general. A bountiful lunch was served by the committee in charge and a good Sum was realized, which goes tn- ward the Gullison Fund. The Na- tional Anthem brought a very pleasant. evening to a close. Thanks from the Society are due to the members and friends. who contri- buted in any way to the success of the social, w Mr. Robert Matheson and his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Inman for the! splen- did hospitality. LONG CREEK DIVISION- Long Creek Blue Bell Division Six young men have yiined the ranks and have proven an inspir- ation as weil as an unlimited source of aid to the organization. The programs which have been conducted were of a. high state of efficiency, reflecting great. credit on the omcers and members in charge.

PJ-An Atlantic sea food that has leaped into popularity Wit-hm the last few years is the Swordfish ‘Phis giant of the sea was looked “pm as s. menace by the old time fisherfolk: to day he is a source of of the big assets of the shore fish- ermen.

He Ls ten- der and sweet and wholesome and e-Jnomical; vcry little bone, all fish rich in fats, and can be fried, baked. boiled or sniokcd- so there is little wonder at his growth in popularity. During the season of 1932 the shore district from Glace Bay i0 Loufsburg, which includes Port Morferi, Mairiadieu, Scaterle and the Iorralnes, shipped i0 the United States approximately 400.- 000 pounds of swordfish, boxed and iced, mostly to the Boston ‘Swordfish, Once Valuable Assetgg pooning Armed Monsters-Canadian Market Must Be Developed, Writer» Declares Becomes n Thrilling Fishery Har- Tlic swordfish cuts for cookirii just; like the halibut although it ts of a. coarser fibre and fatter. When sliced and baked or fried, it needs no fat in the pan. The Italians are great. lovers of swordfish; it? W” they who introduced it. to Boston 20 years ago. Very few were marketed for sev- cral years until the demand and the big prices offered encourage- ment to the fishen-nen t0 8111119 themselves ‘with h8I1>°°115 "d 1"‘ boats.

The price fluctuated from nine cents a. pound to three cents. The Fisheries Department. figures the average return to the fisher- nceri at about. four cents a pound. There is a. tariff of two cents l1 pound and experess charges amount amount to about four cents. (‘This includes boxing and icing.) A few mall lots were shipped in Montreal, where the market is in the course of being developed. About 10,000 pounds were sold in the local meat markets for home consumption. Ontario and all points west of Montreal offered no market for swordfish. The hope of the swordfishermcn is to find a Canadian market. They stopped fish'ng last. season because the Boston market price didn't pay for the gas and gear: and mil- lions of pounds of wonderful fish food were lost to the needy fisher- folk because Canada is not yct fish-conscious. Japan is a. big exporter of sword- fish. Tliey tra-p them there in nets and freeze them. In 193i they sent two shiploads to the Boston mar- ket. The eold storage plants were stocked with Japanese swordfish and this mined the prices. But the Japan fish did not prove popu- lar and the experiment will not be repeated. In ordinary seasons, when the price is over 10 cents, the fisher- men can make money. They arc splendidly equipped for sivordfsh- ing and. with the fish swimming a few miles offshore, they can got a few fish on a. bright sunshiny day in August or September and have them ashore and prepared for the rflght train out of Sydney. There are 300 svrordfislitng boa-ts operated on the Capc Breton coast. And in the August season as many more tie up in our harbors. Many big boats come from Glou- cester; Lunenburg sends a freer and Canso and Newfoundland have rezuiar fleets that spend the sea- sons in these poi-ts. The American boats come in just for shelter: they take their catch‘ direct to Bos- ton. 111a Canadian boats sell their catch to the local buyers.
