All over and around Quoddy bav
and the inlets and rivers tributary are
hundreds of weirs where are captured
the Young herring which the Elstport
factories cure and pack into boxes for
~sardines. These weirs are really traps
of q rude sort where these midgets are
imprisoned ut high tide aud released
(iHto boats) at low tide. Seen from a
steamboat these appear mere bits OF
the bay-a few acres in a place fenced
in with bean poles that rise consi Ter
ably ont of water when the tide j, ont.
The fence is built around three sides
OF this enclosure. the upright stake

Then. at the right time, boats 90 IN

will sometimes sell for $50 or $50.
The eight-hour law is not enforced
in Eastport because Il sardine factory

day or night and must keep going "a

the tender catch should spoil. They
are ap to work more by night than by
day. because the piscatorial small fry
can be hest taken at the daylight hirt
tide. Whan the catch is washed aud
dressed. baked. oiled and boxed. then
the hands go to bed and catch their
forty winks. more or less. before they
are summoned again to the loud smell

When the boat comes back from its
little cruise the skipper signals to the
lookout a! the factory the measure oil

from all parts of the town. To this
end bells are rung. and each factory

This dwarf herring is first cousin To
the elupe which forms the sariine OF

the c~Ottonseed oil in which ii is EN-
balmed is not quite so savory rs is the

is as numerous and he is easier caught.

Eastport skipper uses no bait and no
