10
o'clock at night
The fishing is entirely done at night . The trawls are let down about dusk , and the fleet attached to these moving anchors forge slowly ahead and to leeward , until daybreak . Then the trawls are got in , and the fleet sail in a body to the spot where the admiral decides that fishing shall be continued in the evening . At 10 o'clock at night the trawls are hauled in , and the nets emptied . All hands are called up for this operation . When it is concluded , the trawl is again lowered and the fish cleaned and packed ; by the light of a torch formed of rope , dipped in tar . The watch who have hitherto been on deck turn in , and the others remain on deck until morning , when the nets are again hauled in .
