ANGLING FOR SEA GULLS.
Great Birds from the North Caught with n
Hook by Capt. ShicE.

SEA ISLE CITY. \. j.. Feb. 25.-After the
blizzard had heaped snow and ice ten and
twelve feet high on the meadows and beaches
of Cape May county. thousands of big white
and gray winter Rulls made their appearance
along the shore. They had evidently been
blown hither by the winds that tore along the
coast ,or four days. They came. no doubt.
from the northern New England coast. many
hundreds Of miles away. Their appearance
has recalled to many of the residents the fact
that only once before in the last quarter Of u
century have these handsome sea birds been
SO plentiful. That was during the winter Of
1892. when immense ilocks OF gulls came from
the northland and for two months used the
marshes Of Cape May as a feeding ground.
The gray gull. called the Iceland gull, is the
most graceful and strongest in Eight Of the
gull family. The birds are very shy. aud SO
hard of approach that the gunner who shoots
one is considered lucky. They are much
sought after. as they make handsome orna-
ments once they receive the attention Of an ex-
pert taXidermist. The last time they appeared

the birds took flight and went far out TO sea,
where they spent the night, Batting his hooks
with pieces of clans. the Captain reached the
spot frelpented by the birds an hour before

At daylight tho next morning. when he
walked out upon the vcranda. he saw hundreds
OF gqlls lying wildly about. Eight Of the birds
had been caught and the others didn't know
what to make Of it. The captive gulls showed
fight. and with their powerful hcaks and long.
