The undersigned has taken over the command of the schooner
"West Wind," and will fit out for salt fishing this spring.
Several fishermen have expressed their doubts as to my ability
to catch fish and make a good stock. I wish to state that I
will lay five hundred dollars with any man, even money, that I
will, this season, be the high-line eight dory vessel of the
Eastville Harbor fleet.
I am now picking up an eight dory gang, and want only young,
hardy men and good fishermen. No married, tired, or nervous men
need apply.
Yours for fish,
