The Washington times., 1903-07-05

In the early part Of the season the
crabs used in this city are obtained from
the Atlantic seaboard below Norfolk,
some of them being obtained as far
south as on the coast of North Carolina
AS the season advances and the waters
of the Chesapeake Bay become warmer
the crabs are secured from nearer
points. such as Annapolis, Crisheld,
Md. and Norfolk.
The transportation methods enter
largely into the selection of a suitable
shipper of crabs for the local markets.
This variety of sea food suffers greatly
from handling and careIessness in pack
ing and shipping. and those shippers who
use the greatest care in the shipment
Of crabs, and whose crates arrive in
the city in the best condition are sure
of steady customers, and are usually
we'll supplied with orders from the lest
dealers. From about the 10th of June
until the last of July-the period of the
greatest activity in the crab trade-the
shipper has all the business that he
can well attend to If he has good busi
ness tact and strives to keep his dealer
supplied with the best in the market.
Sold by the Count.
From the time that the crab is taken
from the water until the delivery TO
the consumer the catch is subjected to
count. On the Grabbing grounds the
crab fisherman sells his catch at 3 cents
per crab. The shipper invoices the
crabs by the dozen to the dealer. By
whom they are again disposed of by
count in quantities to suit the pur-
chaser. 1t is therefore necessary that
the crabs should arrive in the hands Of
the local dealer in good condition, in
order that as small loss as possible

1t is rainy or fair, he must be content
TO live upon the boat for six days of the
week. TO subsist upon the plainest and
coarsest food, cooked in a tiny cabin
by chef who is usually a younger son,
and whose knowledge OF cooking is as
immature as the years which have fitted
him for this work. He must be content
to remain away from his family from
early Monday morning until the follow
ing Saturday afternoon when the early
closing hour seems in vogue. and day
after day sail over the same course. see
the same boats, the same crews, the
same daily routine OF catching and SELL
ing crabs.
And yet after all this the crabbers
seem to be a contented race. and attend
to their business with a steadfastuess
which would surely secure a small meas

suits.

The Point Of View.
GEORGE HOWARD GIBSON.

To be looked up to, honored and respected,
And draw an income from the class subjected;
To grasp measure of superior power
Through wealth, or law, what mental DOVER
And feel in worth above ones serving neighbors
As much profit by their labors;
To live from want with cultured classes,
And give employment to the landless masses:
So 10 be served and saved makes class and station
Seem natural, and good for all creation.
To be looked down on-reckoning worth by wages;
To work and want through all ife's hopeless ages;
Long hours long years to toll among wealth Makers
And still remain dependent its takers;
To sweat for others who yet do not love us,
Creating incomes for the ranks above us;
To live a treadmill life with narrow pleasures,
Unthried by art, and wanting all Its treasures:
SO with the rich to rank in correlation,
Seems fair and fine for all creation

are very similar in appearance. To the
watchers they are easily recognized and

all the boats are securely anchored. and

gier to be without the pale of the church
is TO be outside OF the pale of good So

habitants belong TO the Methodist
Church. The example Of the belief in

Return of the Fishing Fleet.

the efforts OF a master painter. This
is the great day of the week for those
who are worldly-minded. In the after

occurs between the receipt Of the com
modify and it's sale to the consumer.
The crabs are packed in shipping
crates containing two trays. in which
they are arranged with great care and
carefully covered with seaweed or sea-
grass. It is 1ecessary that these crates
be kept cool during transportation, and
with the best of care crabs can be kept
! alive only for short period. ranging
from three to seven days. The best
temperature seems to be about 80 de-
grees. Ice water, or an attempt TO cool
by packing witk such quantities of ice
that the drippings from the ice reach
the crabs. kills the crabs quickly, and
this loss falls upon the dealer.
One Of the largest shipping points for
soft shell crabs is Crisfeld. Nd. on the
Chesapeake Bay. This section has been
rcted for several years not only for
the quality of the crabs shipped. but.
also for the care taken in packing and
shipment, and although the distance is
somewhat greater than from other
points, the quality OF the goods when
received is OF such a superior class that
the town of Crisneld has built up ?
thriving industry in the shipment of all
classes Of sea food.
Tangier Bay Grabbing Grounds.
The waters of the Chesapeake Bay. in
that locality known as Tangier Sound
are the favorite Grabbing grounds of
the South. and to such an extent has
this peculiar industry grown. that sew
eral firms are located at CrisAeld. who
have not only built up a large business
in handling sea food taken from the
waters of the Chesapeake. but some
have opened canning and shipping fac
tories at points along the coast OF
North Carolina, where the work OF col
lecting and shipping sea food is carried
on at seasons when the cold weather has
placed the more northern waters out OF
the area Of production
During the season. looking out from
Crisfeld toward Tangier Island. Just as
tie day is breaking. the sound seems
dotted with the sails OF a large feet of
tiny boats slowly sailing up and down
over the grabbing grounds. In this work
there is no labor union TO fix the hours
Of work. and al usual in such cases the
harder the work the larger the amount
o. the earnings for the week. the longer
thc work IS continued the greater the
prcnt. and tho early to bed and early
to rise maxim is not only believed in
but practiced on Tangier Sound during
the grabbing season.

The crab fisherman is fortunate II
