HERRING FISHERIES
Three thousand fisher girls left Ute ports of northern Scotland in the herring fishing season for Yarmouth, hoping' to return with £lO. They went home from the East Anglian fishing season with £l6. Some of them saved £2o.‘ The season at Yarmouth was successful for fishermen and fisher girls, but disappointing for curers, who depend on foreign markets. Scottish steam drifters earned from £°6o to £l4OO which meant that some of them failed to clear expenses, while most showed a profit ranging from £2OO to £BOO. English drifters earned from £B->0 to £2lO0 —but they worked a monlli longer than the Scottish. Crews of motor-boats bad a successful season, some of the men returning home with £5O.
