the bill recently passed by Congress,
apprcpriating $4,000 to maintain the
improvement to the harbOr of Will

When the bill was originally passed,
it contained the provision for new

iecI necessary, and is just what Will
mingtOn wants. The men who are in
terested in harbor improvement say

Improvements to the Christana will

tion as you deem necessary to either
secure the insertion of the apprOpria-
tiOn for this survey in the bill or to
secure an assurance that the body of
the bill will warrant this survey being
made.

tance to the manufacturing and COM

AS TO CATCHING COD.

Once begun, codfshing on the banks is incessant, and when the fishing is good the men rarely ever sleep. Awakened at a. m. to fill their bait kids" or tubs, they start at daybreak to lift these travis and remove the overnight catch, rebaiting the hooks again. There are about 5000 hooks to handle, and this often occupies until eventide, when the boats row back. After unloading the deck is piled high with the glittering mass of fish. To eviscerate this and stow it in the hold keeps them until midnight when they snatch an hour or two of sleep. Some can go without sleep for a week, others will rub wet tobacco in their eyes, so that the pain may keep them wakeful a few hours longer. Others, again will work till they drop from sheer exhaustion and sleep as they lie, until aroused by comrades. A Chinese tort ure is to keep men without slep and .banking' does this to an extent to satisfy even the most exacting Celestial The men sleep in their under-clothing; when above decks, they can never leave off their oilskins, for on the Banks is rarely fine; mist and murl prevails, and the rigggings and sails drip water always.
