8614. Is the price for the herrings paid down whenever you deliver them?-No.
8615. Do you keep an account for the herring fishing separate from the account for the ling fishing?-Yes.
8616. Do you get goods to the other side of that account too?-No; they are all in the same account.
8617. Your goods are kept in an account at Voe?-Yes.
8618. And the price of the herrings is entered to your credit when you settle?-Yes.
8619. Do you keep a pass-book?-Yes.
8620. Have you got it now?-No; I don't have it, because we think there is no use keeping it after the end of the season. Once we find the pass-book to be correct, we think it is of no farther use, and when I brought it home I suppose the bairns tore it up.
8621. When you square up your account at the end of the year, do you go and look at all the items in Mr. Adie's book?-Yes.
8622. Are they read over to you?-Yes; I compare them with the items in my book, and I see that they are all correct.
8623. Is it mostly goods or cash that you get in the course of the year?-It is goods for the most part but I get a good part of cash too.
