FISHING FOR LOST ANCHORS.

One of the queer occupations of man
kind is that of the dragging for lost an
chors. 1t Is carried on in bays and rivers,
and even in the open sea along the coast
Several s!oops and schooners are engaged
almost exclusively in this pursuit. The
hunters are as familiar with the ground
where anchors are to be found as fishermen
are with the favorite haunts Of the living
Inhabitants of the sea. The manner Of
fishing for lost anchors is most simple.
A chain Is let down in loop long enough
to drag along the bottom, and the vessel
goes on her way with all hands on board
alert for bite, and bite usually ends IN
a catch. The recovered anchors are gen.
orally sold again at price of about two
pence pound, which is halfpenny under
the market price for new anchors. A big
anchor will weigh 5000 pounds, so that the
fishermen make ESQ out Of It, More often,
however, tine anchors fished up weigh from
1000 to 1000 pounds. and there Is pretty
profit in the business even then.
