shipping. This mortality is excessive.
As a rule, the death rate is less
than % per cent. But even that repre-
scents more than $4,000 loss IN each sea-
son, This falls directly on the fisherman,
for the shipper takes it into account when
making u bid for the fisherman's catch.
Comparatively few Of the crabs die on the
way to the market. Every effort has
been made to lessen the mortality among
they crabs, but without success The
price renewed by the dealer for the crabs
ranges from 35 cents to 60 cents dozen.
The gourment who pays 60 cents for the
brace of crabs on the restaurant table can
easily hTure out the gradual accretion in
value and see where the profits Of crab
handling go.
THE HARD CRAB,
The hard crab, from which is obtained
the crab-meat for salads and deviled
crabs, is also caught at Crisfeld, but al
though these crabs can be had in any
quantity, the trade in them is so small.
comparatively, that it hardly represents
3 per cent. in value of the trade in the
soft crabs, the hard crabs are taken with
SETTINGS or "trot-liues" baited with
tripe. The ends of the lines are buoyed
or staked One man in boat goes
from one end of The line of stakes
to the other, pulling up each line
HA0 NtAA uklA nObtlhA NHO tEhUS WHICH
cling to the tripe This is the general
method of capturing hard crabs, but a
great many are taken with dip nets, and
many came up in the dredgos of the soft
crab fishermen. The hard crab fisheries
are very near the little town of Crisfeld,
and, in fact, the greater part of the
catch is made in the Little Annemessex
river, very near the to Tn. The crabs are
in such abundance that though less than
twenty men are engaged in fishing for
them, the take is nearly three-quarter of
a million of crabs. While the soft
crabs bring from ! y cents to cents each,
the hard crabs bring only 80 cents to go
cents hundred, a great many of the
fishermen ship the crabs themselves, in
stead of dealing with the middleman.
The shipping price of hard crabs is IS
cents per hundred. There is not the
same risk in handling the hard crabs, for
the mortally amounts TO almost nothing.
The same care is not necessary in hand
ling them as in handling the soft crabs.
They are dumped into boxes and barrels,
covered with wooden strips or sack cloth,
and shipped usually without either ice or
seaweed.
Another crab industry at Crisfield is
the preparation of crab-meat for shipment
in bulk The crabs are boiled for few
minutes, and when they are cool their
shells are cracked and the meat is ex-
tracted with a small knife. 1t takes
from fifty to seventy-five crabs to furnish
a gallon of crab-meat. About 800 gallons
of this meat are shipped every year, and
the price it brings is about Sl.2O per gal
lon.

IN RAPIDS on A LOG.
a Man Risks His Life in He'll Gate
and Wins $500.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
New York, May 30.-James Knox, a
young Canadian log driver, employed by
the dock department, rode through the
dangerous He'll Gate in East river to-day
on a wager. The log was a pine square,
% feet long and ~ by II inches. People,
who looked at it, decided that no man
could stand upright on that log for more
than two seconds. The start was made
from foot Of Ninety-second street at 3 80
O'Clock, about two hours before high
water, when the tide was strong Knox
wore ordinary laced shoes. He carried
a pine pole fifteen feet long. He held the
pole by the small end and dipped the
heavy end in the water. He stood per-
fectly still and then he began to make the
log revolve. The direction of the wind
and tide were such that he could not
make Roadway against them. 1t was,
therefore, necessary to tow him out in the
stream.
When he was cast loose for the second
time he began to work along smoothly.
Then he approached the boiling waters
known as the Hogs Back. He changed
his direction by making the log revolve
and moved from one end of the timber TO
the other in order that the tide would
catch it and throw it around. When he
had worked it into position Knox stood
upright, with his pole touching the water,
and was swept along with startling rapid
ity.
He guided the timber farther from
shore and then ran along with the cur
rent around the southern extremity of
Wards island, and into the broad chan
mel. From there he managed to guide the
timber, with the assistance of the cur
rent, to the steamboat landing on the
island Knox stood on the timber an hour
and a quarter in making the trip of mile
and half. When he started back on the
return tide several steamboats, passed
near him, and once or twice the big stick
seemed to stand almost on an end, but he
came safely through. 1t is said $500 was
wagered on the result.
