leader n Thus, while the ice was still on the shores of Labrador, a steamer was sent ahead with numbers of men, each armed with " a trap leader," to get ahead of the sailing schooners which were working their perilous way along inside the floe ice. In one case, after the best berths had thus been taken, the nets to complete the traps did not turn up till after the prescribed four days. . Again, some men were landed with 'leaders' on one station late at night. "No sail in sight. We'll secure our/ berths tomorrow morning." During the night however, a southerly wind brought in two schooners, and during the hours of darkness these secured the prize while the others slept. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit W. J.
