_Bridlington, Sept. 27, 1827._

Since the foregoing was written I have been at Filey, and was there

informed that in the month of September, yearly, about ninety men,

sometimes accompanied by their wives and children, leave this village

for the herring fishery at Yarmouth. Previously to their setting out for

the fishing station they send a piece of sea-beef on shore from each

boat to such of their friends at the public-houses as they wish “_weel

teea_;” this occasions “a bit of a supper,” at which those who are going

away and those who stay meet to enjoy good cheer, heightened with mutual

good-will.
