FISHING NOTES.
Exploit of Two Hardy Fishermen Yester-
day-One Portland Schooner Starts for
the Early South Fishing.

Two Cape Elizabeth fishermen, John
| Webber and his brother performed an
exploit Yesterday which illustrates the
| hardinessi needed for the fish
erman's life. At II o'clock Monday
they started in their dory and pulled out
to the whistling buoy, which is some dis
lance off the Two Lights. Arriving on
the fishing ground they began to set
their travis at daylight. This process
required about half an hour. By this
time the two men began to realize the
kind of a day before them. The north
west wind was blowing bitterly cold,
and raising troublesome sea that wonld
occasionally break into the dory, neces-
stating quite frequent bailing. Most
men would have given up at this point
and sought the harbor. Even the large
schooners found the weather too cold
for fishing and came in; but the Cape
fishermen decided to persevere. Their
travis having been set they went to the
other end and began taking in, cold
and laborious process requiring
about three hours. About 600 pounds of
fish were obtained, and with these and
the travis slowed in the dory, they were
ready to start on the long pull of 10 or Is
miles against the wind to the city. All
the food the men had was a cold, half
frozen lunch, of course. The men az
rived about p. M. taking their fish to
Henry sargents, where they stacked
$1O-hard earned money.
The schooner Ellen Lincoln started
Monday evening for the early south
mackerel fishing. Others will not start
for several days. Between now and the
10th of May, 10 or Is vessels will get
away.

Slight Accident in the Harbor.

Yesterday, as the schooner Dread
naught was getting under way to leave

tripped, she caught the moorings of a
little yacht anchored near by, and drag
ged her along for some distance. The
Dreadnaugnt had to anchor before the
moorlngs could be untangled.
