“On a boat cruising down east, sardines are scooped out of the holding seine at Eastport at dawn. 'Sardines' may be any of several species of fish; in Maine they are usually small herring. Fish are penned in nets until the boats are ready to load. The fish are taken a short distance to canneries which work round the clock, according to the time of the catch.” MayTakenReadyDistanceSpeciesRoundsFishesEastBoatClockDawnLoadMaineHerringSardines Author:Luis Marden
“A ranch hand, equivalent of the old gaucho, rides after an ostrich, swinging three-thonged and weighted baleadoras. Note how only the toe of the boot is in the stirrup iron. In old times, the gaucho often rode with only the great toe of the bare foot in a metal ring.” HandsThreeFeetNotesRingsIronMetalsBootsToesOld TimeBare FeetOstrichesStirrups Author:Luis Marden
