| Summary: | take v There was a certain pattern to be followed in spreading and "taking up" fish at different stages of cure. It was first taken up with a small fish placed over a large one, both back up. Care had to be taken with big "pickle" fish when taking them up for the first time, especially if it were a Saturday. Sunday might be hot and the big ones might sunburn if left unshielded. Next evening we put four fish together, heads and tails. The small "faggots", then larger "faggots" . [i.e., rectangular piles nicely rounded on the top] When the fish dried hard they were put in a big round pile. Only one or two of the adults would be allowed to put fish in the pile, for this was a skilled task. DNE-cit W. Kirwin, 3/73 JH 3/73 Used I and Sup Not used Used I
