| Summary: | lumper n helper or substitute. Used in the days of the Banking Fleet. When a fisherman wised to go home to see his family he would hire someone to work for him washing the fish, which was stored in the hold of the vessel. The person hired was commonly known as a LUMPER. [over] [reverse] Although we excerpted R.G.Noseworthy's thesis, we have no card for 'lumper' or 'lumpering'. Either he did not use the words, or the excerpter overlooked it. -JH DNE-cit JH 6/72 Used I and Sup Used I and Sup 1 Used I Checked by Jordyn Hughes on Fri 26 Jun 2015, Reverse of card at L_14213, stamped but not used, refiled: check excel spreadsheet
