Further particulars received from the
south show that the destruction to the
oyster industry was even greater than
first reported. In the vicinity of Eas
ton, Nd, many had their boats destroy
ed by the ice, and in several eastern
shore hospitals are poor fellows who
have frozen ears, toes or fingers The
crews of two vessels frozen up in East
ern Bay had a terrible experience They
started for Baltimore in the teeth of the
blizzard, but lost their way in the snow
and ran on shoaL The Excelsior
sprung aleak and it was necessary to
throw overheard nearly the entire load
of oysters. With the thermometer at
10 degrees below zero both crews start
ed for shore on the ice After several
hours of wandering they reached land,
nearly frozen. One of the crew, Michael
Marzki, has had his feet amputated and
will probably die.
Several oystermen have chartered
schooners and will go to Virginia soon
after March to load them With oys-
ters for planting. Among the vessels |
chartered are the Helen P. and i. B.
Jones, These plants thrived very well
in New Haven harbor last year, and it !
is expected that the plant this spring !
will be larger than last year. CaptainI
Charles H. Seeley, who has brought |
oysters north for many years, expects |
to load two cargoes of plants for Fair |
Haven
A colonial supper will be given III the |
