The Crab War.

The crab war has opened in earnest
and there were exciting scenes in both
Tangier and Pocomoke sounds yester-
day. About one hundred boats from
Smiths Island were grabbing at the
mouth of Tyler's creek that morning,
when Captain Reid came up and open
ed fire on them. He shot at the crab
bers six times with his cannon and kept
up constant fusilade with his small
arms. The crabbers replied with their
rifles and shot about forty rounds back
at him. The cannon balls fell in the
midst of the fleet, not ten feet away
from several of the boats. One of the
balls passed over the leech ola foresail
and the captain narrowly escaped death
by lodging. Captain Reid is said to be
reckless in his shooting and runs the
risk of hitting vessels at anchor, boats
passing along the channel and houses
on Smiths Island.
A dispatch from Crisfeld says: "The
people of Smiths Island have two crab
bling grounds, one at Tylers creek and
the other at Herring's Point. When
Reid drives one party off from Her
rings Point those at Tyler's creek come
out and crab. There are about $50
boats on the island, and the men whose
living must be secured from the water
manage to exc out bare subsist-
ence. There are no oysters on the bars
that the crabbers work, and the state
ment that they make grabbing a pre-
text to steal oysters is false. A mer-
chant on the island boarded Captain
Reds vessel and Reid, it is alleged,
said that the crabbers must stop work
ing in Virginia waters or get killed.
Captain Gaskins gave his attention
to the crabbers in Pocomoke sound.
He came up about 8 o'clock and COM
menced firing at the 800 boats at work
there. The boats retreated across the
line and then stopped, but Captain
Gaskins kept sending cannon balls af-
ter them until they were compelled to
retreat through the marsh. Some of
the balls struck so close to the boats
that water was splashed over the oc-
cupants. Men who could have made
from s. to $40 yesterday were compell-
ed to return to their homes empty
handed. Captain Gaskins is reported
to have said to one who boarded him
that he would drive off the crabbers if
he died and went to a warmer latitude
in the attempt.

THE PoToMAc fishery this year was
a failure, all the seine haulers having

say the cause of this is the stake nets at
the mouth of the river which keep the
fish out, and the same sort of nets in
the waters of the District of Columbia
which prevent the few that do come in
from reaching their spawning ground.
