THESE MEN CONFESSED,
Two Oyster Pirates Captured Up the
River

For some time it Sas been known to
the State authorities Sat there have
been violations of the law Regulating the
taking of oysters in the close season.
One of the points particularly frequent
ed by the TiolatOrs of the law is Nam
semond Ridge. between Nansemond
river and Chuckatuck. across the James
almost directly opposite this city.
Captain w. E. Hudgins, of the oyster
gunboat Chesapeake, has been after
these depreda tors on several occasions
but they have Heretofore escaped. as
the water there is shoal that it is
difficult to get the Chesapeake up to
where they work
Several times he has with his men
pursued them in small boats, but they
have managed to escape. as their sail
boats We're faster than the Chesapeakc's
rowboats.
Wednesday, however, Capt. Hudgins
got within mile and a half of them
with his gunboat. and then lowered his
yawi boat and pursued the men. who
proved to be Daniel Kemp and Edward
Kemp, both white, of Nansemond coun-
ty.
The wind died out SO the men could
not sail away. and they took to their
oars. Seeing that capture was inevita-
Bile, they anchored and started to fish
in the meantime throwing their oysters
overheard. Then they paid out their
line and dropped about % or 30 feet
from their anchor
Captain Hudgins boarded their boat
and accused them of violating the oys-
ter law This the men strenuously de-
MED, and said they were only fishing.
They had two pairs OF oyster tongs in
their boat. and Captain Hudgins' men
took these and searched for the oysters.
they finally found the pile, two or three
bushels, near the anchor
Captain Hudgins placed the men I'M
der arrest. They confessed and plead :
60 20 De released on the ground OF pow
erty AS Captain iIudgins had no dis
cFetion IN the matter he turned them
over to Oyster Inspector Cannon al
Norfolk who fined them $40 each.
They were released to 90 home and get
the money, their boats and appurte
nances being held in the interim
few. days ago Captain Hudgins
found two canoes working on the Ridge
at o'clock in the morning. He tried
to overtake them in Il canoe. which he
had secured for the purpose The wind
was fresh ut the time and the depre-
gators took in the situation and crowd
ed on all sail and steered for Old Point
comfort Captain lIudgins kept w a
not fire on them during the chase, hut
as their canoe was u large one, carving
the most sail, he ran them out Of
Hampton Roads and they escaped up
the bay.
captain Hudgins is making a strong
effort to break up the summer violation
OF me oyster law and this capture OF
Yesterday Will probably have a deter
ring influence for some time.
