element and tumnlt Is between i and 9
O'Clock On a Friday morning; and II Friday
morning during Lent Is better than any other
Friday morning. Though most other parts
OF the city are silent in slumher, here all is
life and hustle. Here is a picture of the slip
at 4 o'clock last Friday morning: The
atmosphere cool and clear and the sky starry.
Moored In q bunch at the end OF the piers are
q half. score of belated fishing smAcks wait
ing for daylight aud the tide. The vessels
bring In their fish on Wednesdays and Thurs
days and drop them alive into the fish cars
which ioat in the slip. They like TO
get out to sen again OIL Thursday night, in
order To return in good season for the fol-
lowing weeks market. There are some odd
looking craft la the group, of all sizes and
builds. The dirty and dumpy sloOp. almost
- broad us she is long. and equally round at
bow aud stern, Is hawsered close to the trim
little smack with holystoned decks, as tIim
o. . new spring bonnet. Three open "punts'
bob up and down on tI@ water, the wrig-
Cling mass OF cells on their bottoms looking
slimy and hideous in The faint glare from
the electric lights on the bridge. Brooklyn
looms up, a big black shadow in the dis
tance. Early hs 1t is, u hundred venders'
wagons are drawn up in line beneath the
lamp posts in South, Fulton, and Beekman
Streets 1t Is yet too early for buying, 50
ths drivers huddle in the saloons and coffee
shops
Meanwhile a curious scene is going Oh in
the slip. The surface OF the water is covered
with fish cars. floating boxes, about twelve
feet square, with lattice-work bottoms and
sides. Each car is filled with live fish. Sure
footed men, with rubber boots, lanterns, and
nets, dart hither and thither, dragging the
hnny denizsns of the deep into the open air
