6855. Does she always sell her hosiery for goods?-Yes; I suppose she never asked anything else for it.
6856. Do you sell the eggs yourself, or are they usually sold by your daughter?-They are generally sold by her.
6857. Has she a book of her own in which they are entered?-She has no book. They are generally paid for at once.
6858. How are you paid for your winter fishing?-We were generally paid for every haul as we brought it ashore, but we cannot do that now. We have to salt our fish ourselves in the winter fishing; and when we have got as many as two or three cwt. we send them over to Mr. Laurenson, and sell them to him.
6859. Then you are paid for them on account now?-Yes; we cannot settle for them now every time we come ashore. We salt so much, and sell it off, and then we begin to salt again; but before, when we sold our fish green, we settled for every haul of fish as they came ashore.
6860. Did you do that with Mr. Anderson too?-Yes, as long as I fished to him.
6861. Did you get cash for that?-No; I cannot say that I ever got cash.
6862. Did you ask for it?-Yes; we asked for cash [Page 166] several times, but we only got a small line, saying we had delivered so many fish.
6863. Have you got any of these lines this year?-No.
6864. What did you do with these lines?-When we came back with the line, we got anything we required for it.
