ON THE GRAND BANKS.
How and Cod and Ha1ibut Are TakeI
by the Small Vessels.

How and Cod and Ha1ibut Are Taken
by the Small Vessels.
Gustav Kobbe writes an article en-
titled ION the Grand Banks and Else
where" for st. Nicholas. Mr.. Kobbe
says:
The trawlers are generally found on
the Grand Banks, the hand-liners on
the Western Bank and Quiro. These
hand-liners are smaller vessels with
fewer dories, and the men fish with
hand-lines, one man and two lines to
a dory. The hand-liner sits In the
middle Of his dory, with a compart-
ment In its stern, another in Its bow,
for his catch. When you see the bow
sticking far up in the air, you know
the fisherman has his stern-load. Then,
as fish after fish flashes into the other
compartment, the bow settles, and
when the dory is on an even keel the
hand-lIner pulls back to the vessel.
The trawlers bait with fresh her
ring, mackerel, aId squid; the hand
liners with salt clans. The catch Of
both is split and salted, and the vessel
has full "fare," or catch, when she
has wet her salt" that is, used up all
her salt-and Is full Of fish. A traw-
ler's voyage lasts about eight weeks; q
hand-liner's, eleven.
A trawlers crew receives no wages,
but fishes on shares. First, the cap
tain gets percentage; Of the remain
der half goes to the vessel, which
''fnds," that is, supplies. the gear,
stores, salt, and half the bait; and the
other half to the captain and crew In
equal shares, which run from $110 to
$3.50, and even to $3.50.
But among the hand-llners each man
Is paid according to what he catches,
the "fare" from each dory being
weighed as 1t is taken aboard. This
stimulates competition. There Is
judgment in knowing where to fish, or
how long to stay over certain spot;
and even the quickness with which a
line Is hauled in will make q percept-
Bile difference at the end of a days fish
ing. 1t means something to be "high
line," as they call the best fisherman,
ut the end Of voyage, and those who
win this distinction time and again, as
some do, become known as "killers'
and "big fishermen"
The main catch on the Banks Is cod
and halibut. There Is also feet OF
small American vessels which pursues
the merry swordfish. Swordfshing Is
good sport-whaling on small scale.
A man, dart in hand, stands In the
vessels bow, supported by semi-cfr-
cular iron brace. When near enough
to the fish, he let's fly the dart. A
swordish may weigh $50 pounds. One
can tow a dory a mile, and a piece OF
the sword has been found driven
through the bottom Of pilot boat.

be perfected in the very neal
Tho information comes from .
nent member of the Brookland !
company, and the plan is to be carr
out by the combination of three electfl
companies.
The Brooklsnd Electric company,
which was chartered by the last session
Of the Legislature, and the new Lex-f
ington Electric and Power company,
have decided to consolidate and build .
road connecting the two towns which
they represent. The Brookland conn.
pany has the right Of way across the
river to connect their line with Colum-
bia. The plan now Is that, the Lex
ington company, which is composed OF
some OF the strongest men in the comm
ty, and who s-e determined to carry ont
the purposes of their charter, build
their road to Brookland, where it will
connect with the road OF that town.
Then these two companies which have
combined with. the Columbia Electric
Street Railway company, together with
the latter, will build Q bridge across tbs
river and operate an electric line which
will connect the three towns
The whole distance over which the,
line will operate will be fourteen miles,
and in addition to the passenger line
the companies propose to runs line ct
freight cars and expect to do large
business. Already they have . gusran.
tee of Sc. 90 freight per day BY one Of
the Lexington factories.
The new bridge which will be built
will be handsome piece Of engineer
ing. It is necessary to have $40, 600
subscribed to build the bridge, one
fourth of which will be paid in, in order
to get it started. The remaining $40. :
600 will be foated with bonds. In this
way the plan can be carried through
without any trouble. The company
will charge small toll for the uss Of
the ebridge-smallert than is now charged
for crossing the present bridge. and IN
this way the Indebtedness, which Will
have to be incurred, will be Hquidatsd
in five or six years.
The movement ID one in the right
direction, and the parties who are Gt
the head OF it mean business. They I'M
tend to push the plan through without
delay, and es soon as the Lexingtou
Electric and Power Company can have
matters connected with its charter psr.
fected, work will begin.
