| Summary: | trap 1 n Now certain positions are thought better than others for setting traps, with the result that there is every spring a race from Newfoundland to get them, . . . The law does not allow traps to be set till a certain day, and the leading net must be put out to secure the berth - and unless within four days the whole trap is set, the claim becomes void. 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.
