When he was older, Maurice helped his father catch mackerel and lobsters, tended the clotted sheep on the uplands. He remembers a brush with a shark, when the slimy brute followed their small boat, his breath smelling like that of the devil himself. He recalls even more vividly the War, not because any of the Blasket people were fools enough to fight...
Bahamas to the blue depths off Cuba's north coast. One of these sighted Fisher man Hemingway's hook-spitted mackerel, struck, and the battle was on. "He jumped," the stout scrivener said, "like in the Apocalypse!" Sixty-five minutes later the gleamy, purple-backed fish was gaffed, pulled over the launch's freeboard. Back at Havana Mr. Hemingway posed happily beside his catch as it was hung on the custom house scales. The fish weighed 468 lb.. was 12 ft. 8 in. long. Not only was it the biggest marlin ever caught off the Cuban...

Like all food companies, Gorton-Pew faces lower selling prices. Tinker mackerel, haddock, cod and other piscine products sell at about half what they did two years ago. But like other food companies Gorton-Pew's faith is buttressed by the knowledge that people must eat. And in many a U. S. home the codfish ball is still a Friday night and Sunday morning institution. The better to send forth cod to hungry consumers, last week Gorton-Pew opened a new plant which can turn out 48,000 10-oz. cans of ready-to-fry codfish cakes...
