The mighty tides that rush In and out of the Bay of Fundy, between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, carry oft the broken rocks in th« Icrm a.' sand and have built, in the course of centuries, "The Banks", the fishing banks, millions of acres In ex- tent, which lie In ten fathoms to two hundred fpthoms. some one to two hundred miles ( ut In the Atlantic off Halifax. The only bit of all these "banks" that appears above water Is Sable Island. All the rest are sub- merged, and on them summer and winter our neighbors ply their dan- gerous calling, fishing for the cod and haddock, halibut aud cusk that feed a pa/tly-broken Sable Island Pony.''
