Mr. Editor-May ask small space in
your columns to inform your readers how our
oyster interests are guarded Last Friday
aud Saturday about twenty-five boats spent
the entire day dredging in the Wicomico riv-
ar, while the Katie Lines was lying in sight
with neither captain or mate aboard. On
Tuesday morning they again commenced
their dcpredatons on the oyster beds ana con-
tinued until about II clock, when the Katie
sailed down the river in a gentle breeze with
all her sails recfed The drcdgers seemed to
take very LITTLE notice Of her for lhe7 never
stopped work until ale was in A few hundred
yards Of them then they sailed off short
distance and worked in sight of her gallant
seamen the remainder Of the dsy. She made
no effort 10 pursue them, but sailed in NeaIe's
Greek aud anchored The second Officer rode
down in the afternoon in his buggy and when
called upon to arrest those yiolators Of the
aw he replied that he wonld not risk his life
for $40. Now may we ask in the name of
justice what the oyster nayy Is for? Is it to
be manned by men who are afraid 10 tackel
any yioator Of the law when they have the
State Of Maryland at their back? A great
trouble with the oyster navy is
when captain is appointed he is not
allowed to select a crew that will stand nv
him in enforcing the law, but from the mate
down TO the lowest seamen appointments are
made by the ring bosses If this state of az
fairs continues it would be better to burn ne
boats and rid the State of the expense than
keep them to provide soft places for bungrs
