Harold Hjortnas Writes
From Danish Home
Harold Hjortnas, former lo
cal restaurant owner, writes to
local friends from hi? family
home in Lokken, Denmark,
that he is now engaged in the
fishing business on the North
Sea and doing well. His ves
sel, a 50-fobt, 55 h. p. motor
ship is named “Alaska,” and
appears in an accompanying
snapshot to be a decidedly trim
and sturdy vessel.
Fishing is done by means of
large seines of the “purse”
type, which are hauled in by
the ship’s winch. Hjortnas
states that the whole process of
casting the net and hauling it
■in with its load of fish takes
normally from three to four
hours. He and his partner
have caught as high as two
tons Off fish in one cast, the let
ter states. Most iof them are
too small for commercial pur
poses and are thrown back.
Big flounders, or “red-spots,”
as they are called over there,
owing to having red spots bn
their backs, bring. Mr. Hjort
nas states, from “50 to 75 cents
good American money per
pound,’ indicating that fish
are much higher priced there
than in Alaska.

Washington ports showed an
