those
toilers of the Sea, very justly observes that "their ignorance of the
art of curing fish causes them endless loss." The hap of Kill or Cure
may be hazarded by physicians, but the practice of fishermen should
be to kill and cure too--kill first and cure afterwards. Sure, no
Irishman can fail to see the force of that. An Irish peasant sometimes
when his pig is poorly, kills the animal, as he says, to save its
life, whereby, of course, he means, to save his bacon. Fishermen
should be up to curing all fish that are curable--except--they are not
bootmakers--the cure of soles!

Transcriber's Note:

Missing and illegible/damaged punctuation has been repaired.

Page 100: 'delighful' corrected to 'delightful'. [Miss LOUISA
METTERBRUN said something delightful to him the other day at dinner.]

Page 105: repeated 'if' corrected to 'it'. [...specially if it be rough,]

Page 105: eat [sic] ...where the hyaena got loose and eat thirteen
half-crown breakfasts...

...As it was a letter from a reader, 'eat' may have been his
manner of speech; therefore, I have left it as such.
