Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 37: Designed for the Advancement of the Young, December 1, 1902Rom earliest childhood, the peo ple of the islands are taught the best methods of catching and preparing different kinds Of fish.In summer the main kinds Of fish seek the northern waters, but, as winter comes, they move southward from feed ing place to feeding place. Where the ocean is very. Deep, fish find little to egt, for the small marine animals or plants on which they live. Grow on the sea bot tom Or are gradually deposited there, and most fishes find it difficult to dive to great depths in search Of their food. The bottom Of the ocean is very similar to the ground above water, there are val leys and hills. And mountains with high peaks that sometimes push their heads above the surface to form islands. A suitable feeding ground for most kinds Of fish becomes, then, the top Of a sub marine hill or mountain. One of the things that a fisherman must know, is the location Of the shallow waters in the neighborhood Of the island on which he lives. When the fish come southward in the fall and winter, and encounter a shallow place, they remain there to feed until either the season advances too far.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
