How a Norwegian Family Were Reunited
in Portland.

About seven or eight years ago N. G.
Hansen, a Norwegian laborer, came to Port
land from Norway. He was sober and in
dustrious and prospered well enough to be-
come married and live comfortably, if mod
estly. Nearly two years ago his sister came
over from the old home, leaving their aged
mo ther all alone. The sister is a most ca
pable housekeeper and it was not long be-
fore she had secured the position of house
keeper at the Cumberland Club house. She
was soon able to tell her brother that she
could pay her mothers travelling expenses
here if he could pay his own to go across
after her.
Mr.. Hansen left for Norway last March
and returned here with his mother last Mon
day. He found his mother ill in bed but glad
enough at the prospect of even crossing tn
ocean to live with her two children again.
Mr.. Hansen is employed by G. A. Weston
Co. He brought home to Mr.. Weston and
his partner Norwegian pocket knife for
each. The blades of these knives are solidly
locked. You unlock, open and re-lock then
by lifting and turning and closing again a.
little thumb-peice at the end of the knife.
1t is very clever device.
Mr.. Hansen's wife and children were cared
for in his absence by her brother and other
friends. These are the kind of immigrants
that are of value to this country.

MANY FAT MACKEREL.
Fine Fishing for Two Hundred Miles
On the Cape Shore.

Captain Ben Squirting the Luclsiest Maine
Mackerel "Killer'' This Year--Ninety
Sail Enjoyed the Sport.
The schooner Lizzie Maud was lying at:the
end of Union wharf yesterday, and Captain
Ben Squirting was pacing his deck, superin-
tending the fitting out of the schooner for
mackerehng trip off the New England coast.
The Lizzie Maud is the luckiest schooner of
the Maine mackerel feet this year, and
Captain Squirting has reason to be the
proudest captain. His vessel has brought
in mackerel enough to stock about $500,
and this considering that on account of the
hard times mackerel don't bring half what
they did last year. With this years prices
the Lizzie Maud would have stocked $1,000
for the mackerel season.
He has made two trips this season. The
second one, to the Cape Shore, was a model
fishing trip. He left Boothbay, Monday, May
%, and arrived off Liverpool on Wednesday.
That night he caught small school; but
the greatest haul was made the next after
noon, when the Lizzie Maud got her seine
around a school which, when gathered
aboard, filed 325 wash barrels, and when
dressed and sailed, filed 276 wash barrels.
On Friday they went into port to avoid
storm, and on Monday came out and got a
school that made up the rest of the trip.
Captain Squirting says that nearly all the
twenty or more Maine vessels down on the
Cape Shore did we'll, getting probably an
average of two hundred barrels each. The
whole mackerel feet of ninety sail, got
about fifteen thousand barrels. This is very
good luck for the present time. The fish
appeared along rs miles off the Cape Shore
simultaneously, allowing all the vessels a
chance. Hitherto the appearances have been
more fitful. 1t was not necessary to go with
in the three mile limit.
Not only did, the fish appear at the right
places, but they were also the fattest and
best that Captain Squirting ever saw. After
being sailed $50 of them weighed 200 pounds.
And yet they brought only half price COM
pared with last year.
The Cape Shore season is now over. Some
most of them will probably follow the Lizzie
Maud down towards Block Island
Captain Squirting has usually taken a
schooner each winter to the red snapper
fishing in the Gulf of Mexico; but he has
doubts about going next winter. The hard
times have affected the fish business of
Pensacola seriously, and ssthe red snapper
fleets operations will be curtailed.
Other Fishing Notes.
The John Smith brought in $50 pounds of
halibut yesterday.
The Lizzie Hagan brought 1900 pounds
of cod, paddock and hake.
