SHORTAGE OF FISH
Napier Trawlers Unable To Go to Sea Particularly heavy seas have kept the Napier fishing fleet in port for tlie past three days, and tlie shortage of fish culminated this morning with tlie arrival of frozen supplies from Wellington. It was not anticipated by tlie fishermen that they wili be able to make to sea before Friday, and in the meantime tlie suppliers in the Hawke's Bay district must rely upon supplies from the south. "This is the worst weather this year," said oue of the fishermen when questioned this morning. "It has been three days since the trawlers have been able to go out, and over the last two days there has not been a boat out at all. "There will 11 ot be much trawling before Wednesday. and I don't think there will be many fish caught before Sunday. We've just landed six cases of frozen fish from Wellington." The seas oft' Napier showed no sign of abating this morning. Obscured up to 50 yards from the shore by mist and rain, the sea visible showed a mass of surging waves, breaking heavily on the beach and bringing with them immense quantities of driftwood. The position is now that for fish supplies for the district up to Monday at least the sellers will have to rely upon those freighted from Wellington.
