3628. That applies to the home fishing?-To the home fishing only. The Whalsay men are not engaged in any other fishing.
3629. They don't go to the Faroe fishing at all?-No.
3630. Is yours the only shop upon that island?-The only shop.
3631. Have you an establishment at the Out Skerries too?-Do you mean at the Skerries lying to the eastward, where the boats deliver their fish?
3632. Yes.-No, we have no establishment for supplying the people with goods; but we have beach boys and curing materials at the Skerries to the east of Whalsay.
3633. Is there not a firm who have an establishment there?-Yes, at Skerries; but that is a different Skerries, which lies farther out beyond where the lighthouse is. There is more than one curer there, but the Whalsay men don't deliver any of their fish at that place.
3634. It is at the Out Skerries where other firms have establishments-both shops and curing places?-Yes; but we have nothing there.
