From ' When Two or Three,' page 78
By 'Taffrail'
'Taffrail' comes to the microphone to tell how the' fish one sees in the shops and on the table is caught, and where it comes from. As a trawler skippor to whom he talked remarked: 'People ashore who complain about the price of fish little know how it's been caught at the risk of chaps' lives and limbs.' In this and the three talks that follow, one of the most popular writers of sea stories will do his best to remove their ignorance.
