"It is not easy to give a reason for the continued desolation of Louisburg. A harbour opening directly upon the sea, whence egress is unobstructed and expeditious, and return equally convenient at all seasons; excellent fishing grounds at the very entrance; space on shore for all the operations of curing the fish; every advantage for trade and the fisheries is offered in vain.
There was also served oxygarum made in the fisheries of New Carthage a paste of tunny milt, loaded with salt and vinegar, which excited the palate, stimulating one to drink wine.
