THE lIOUSE-BOAT COLONY.
Their Floating Homes and Mode of
Living.

Their Floating Homes and Mode o
Living.
A house with one room, and that room
only eight feet wide by sixteen fee
long.
That sounds small and cramped, but
more solid comfort can BE- had within
the limits of those measurements than
one would think.
In fact many people whose lives arc
spent within brick walls of the average
dimensions live for preference within
these narrow limits each vacation.
The local name for these diminutive
dwellings is fish cabins or shanties.
Like many other things which minis
ter to pleasure, the idea was taken from
an affair which was built solely for use.
In this locality they were first built
solely for the use of fishermen, who tow
them to some convenient point and haul
ing them up among the reeds, make
them their headquarters while working
their nets.
The cabin used is usually as small
convenience will allow. 1t is built on a
flat bottom scow, with but single room,
the scow projecting about four feet at
either end. A door is made at one end,
and two square holes on each side with
a wooden shutter served as windows. In
some instances glass is used in the win
dows. These cabins are generally rough
looking affairs built only for use and
shelter.
From the rough but comfortable
shanty of the fisherman up to the snug
and we'll built cabin Of the pleasure seek
er is a transition. The summer home of
the pleasure seeker is Il little palace by
comparison. Neatly constructed, ,tastefully
painted, and with an interior arrange
mcnt that would make fisherman stare,
they are no more like their original than
Il truck boat is like Il yacht.
Yet the idea is the same and the dimen-
sions are but slightly altered.
There is Il colony Of these cabins at
Pcnnsgrovc which lines the beach south
of the grove for nearly mile and the
majority OF the summer tenants are
Wimingtonians.
At Pennsvllc there is another smaller
colony and all along the Jersey shore,
in every sheltered cove there are sure to
be one or two OF these comfortable little
nondcscripts.
There is Il colony OF the old time
fishing shantics in this city. On the
flat north of Eleventh street bridge are !
ovcr Il score Of lislcrmen's cabins which !
winter here. Usually the boats on which
their living depends are hauled out and !
turned bottom up at the rear OF the
cabin and the place has the appearance
Of Il busy boat yard.
Life in one Of these cabins has Il
fascination which is not easily Withstand
by one who has tasted its joys. 1t is in
small way the OF old English hou>cb"at
ing. In the winter the pleasure seekers
lbanlpn their dimnuitivc homes, but
many OF the fishermen live the srasc II
Trough in their SEIanticS.
