NO OYSTERS FOR MARKET YET
Fleet May Put Out Today
High winds on Saturday and yesterday prevented the Bluff oyster fleet from putting to sea. The wind went down each evening, but sprang up again before daybreak. Last evening the weather was much improved and, provided the wind becomes less severe, the boats should put out today. Everything is in readiness and the steam trawlers have had their fires going since Friday afternoon. The train service which is run on Sunday afternoon during the oyster season began yesterday. Although no oysters were available, it was used for the return of empty wagons.
