AFTER OYSTER PIRATES.
The Tancier Islanders Ask Better Pretec'
tion for the sound-Bifter Feeling
Against Marylanders.

rASLEY, VA. March l3.-Speeial.-
The State oyster steamer Chesapeake,
Capt Hudgins, arrived In Tangier sound
about sunrise yesterday morning, accom-
panied by the police schooner Tangier,
Capt. Reed A large number Of Mary
land boats were engaged in taking oys-
ters on the Old Woman's Marsh. When
the pirates saw the steamer approaching
they fed across the line into Maryland
waters. and thus avoided arrest. The
Chesapeake lay in the sound all day
Yesterday. and the greater part Of to-
day, and thus prevented further depreda-
tons.
AT meeting held on Tanger Island
last night resolutions were adopted set
ting forth the necessity Of Immediate ac-
ton i'm securing better protection for the
sound and the appointment Of new com
mander for the local police boat. Dele
gates were appointed to lay these resO-
lutions before the Board of the thesa-
peake and it's Tributaries.
The feeling between the Tangier Island
ers and the people of Crlsiield and
Smiths Island, Maryland, is said to be so
bitter that all communications between
these places is practically suspended.
