suddenly hurricane. of some four or
five hours duration, swept down the
Potomac and carried boats, seines. nets,
traps, etc, from their places, and on
down the river Some wrecked outfits

the gale are very great, and falls heavily
upon the fishermen. whose river outfits
comprise their earthly possessions and
