They get plenty of sea fish, they buy them at the shops." "I never were thinkin' o' that," said Thomas.

"I'm thinkin', now, that's where all the salmon we salts down and sells to the Post goes." The boys were vastly interested, and asked many questions, which Doctor Joe answered with infinite patience, concerning the various kinds of fish people bought in the shops, and how the fish were caught and shipped to the shops to be sold fresh.
"And you'll stay now?
You'll not be leavin' The Labrador again ?" asked Thomas, after supper.
"Aye," said Doctor Joe, "I've elected to be a Labradorman." Then, turning to the boys, he suggested: "Lads, there are a lot of things in that skiff of mine.

"Years ago, Thomas," said Doctor Joe, when the boys were gone, "in my days in New York, I invested a little money in a mining property.
