The establishments of Messrs. De Quetteville Bros., Boutellier Bros., and Williams, Frewing and Co., fit out in Jersey and Paspebiac for the fishery, bringing nearly all their men from these places, whence they return again at the close of the season; none, therefore, can be considered as permanent residents of the Labrador. A few, however, are left on the Coast for the purpose of looking after the premises.

      The establishment at Venison Is'd, formerly belonging to Messrs. John Slade & Co., and recently to Messrs. Ridley & Sons, was, two years ago, purchased by Messrs. John and George Rorke, of Carbonear. At this place there is also an establishment for preserving salmon.

      The establishment at Cartwright, Sandwich Bay, formerly belonging to Messrs. Hunt and Co., was purchased, one year ago, by the Hudson Bay Company. The residents of Sandwich Bay are engaged almost exclusively in the salmon fishery, and during the winter trapping and hunting. Most of the people use the Company's nets, and fish on the “shares.”

      At Eagle River and Earl Island, both places in this Bay, are establishments for preserving salmon, which annually export about 40,000 tins.

      There are four establishments in Hamilton Inlet for preserving salmon. The Hudson Bay Company have an establishment at Kennemish, at Snook's Cove, and at Rigoulette. Captain W.

As in Sandwich Bay, the people of Hamilton Inlet fish the Company's nets on the “shares,” and are engaged during the winter months trapping and hunting.
