Strange Imprisonment.

The strange imprisonment OF poor
Donaldson under the State Of Flordas
capsized boat has had several paral-
lels in the history of modern ship
wrecks, the most remarkable of which
was an occurrence Which took place
off the Sicily islands some years ago.
A small coesting vessel was capslzed
bv a squat in the open sea, all the
crew perishing except the mate and
four men, who happened to be below
at the time The latter, cooped up in
utter darkness, without food or water,
tloated about in the inverted vessel
for two days and two nights. expect
ing death every moment Had not
two of the men, who still retained
some presence Of mind, succeeded in
beating in a partition, and thus en-
largmg their space, they must have
all been suGed The mate, in his des-
peration. tried to cut through the
ships plankmg with his knife, but
the blade broke before he could sue
ceed-a fortunate accident, as it aft
erward proved, the part through
which he was cutting being at the
time below the water level. AT length
the wreck went ashore on the beach
of St. Mary island, and was instant
" surrounded by a gang of fishermen.
Their shouts to each other were an
swered by a hoarse, unearthly cry
from within the stranded vessel, at
which the nearest man ran back al
frieted: but his bolder comrades,
guessing at once how matters stood,
FASTENED at once to break open the
hull. A hole was soon cut and the
imprisoned men, by this time in the
last stages OF exhaustion, were drawn
forth and Hospitality cared for

FIsHLINEs SIX MILES LONG.
Each With Twenty Thousand Hooks
Baifed to Lure the Sturgeon.

'"They fish with lines six miles 9
long IN Winnebago lake, Wisconsin.
and use twenty thousand hooks on
every line" SAID New York fisher
man who has been there, ''and if they
don't haul up two thousand fish every
time they call it Indifferent luck.
And every fish will weigh from
twenty to seventy pounds That's
the way they fish for surgeons out
there.
zone of these lines will reach half
way across the lake. 1t is rope an
inch in diameter. 1t is carried out in
the lake, large buoys being attached
to it at intervals 10 keep ton the sur
face. The twenty thousand hooks,
baited with pieces Of meat or fish, are
lowered to the bottom Of the lake by
'snoods' Of ne proper length, attached
to the line. 1t takes twenty boats.
with two men in each, to look after
this big fish line. Each boat has one
thousand hooks in its charge The
hooks are placed eighteen inches
apart, and to bait all the hooks once
requires not less than one thousand
pounds of meat. 1t takes the forty
men and twenty boats ten hours to
set the lines for the first time. 4 fter
that the fishermen are constantly en-
ployed IN going to and fro over the
line. hauling in the sturgeon that
have been caught on the hooks and
rebating where it is necessary.
ITO haul in a seventy pound stur-
geop from the bottom of the lake is an
exciting piece IF work, but requires
more strength than skill, as the fish
always has the hook several inches
down his throat, having sucked bait
and all down without any regard to
consequences. There is no danger OF
loslsg the fish unless the snood or the
hook breakes. When the fish is
hauled to the surface a gaff, like
meat hook, is thrust into the side Of
its head, and the sturgeon is drawn
into the boat and knocked in the
head with mallet The hook is cut
out of its throat, rebaited, and thrown
back into the lake.
Tine average catch of sturgeon is
one to every ten hooks. When
4 boat is loaded with all it will carry of
sturgeon, the fishermen row back to
shore, where others take the fish and
dispose of them The fishermen know
the particular sections of the line on
which they work by the ar
rangement of the buoys. These are
placed ten feet apart, and every 120th
one is red The space between the
red buoys contain one thousand
hooks. The sections are numbered,
and each boat has it's number cores
ponding with the section it fishes.
While the average catch is one stur-
geon TO ten hooks, it is no uncommon
thing for the fishermen to end but
one or two on an entire section of one
thousand hooks.
"The Lake Wiunebago sturgeon is
/ highly priced among the lumbermen
and Others in the region It's flesh is
finer and of better flavor than the
saltwater surgeons. The fish sells
for 6 cents pound at retail Large
quantities are sailed and smoked for
use in the lumbercamps "
