banks, about 1900 of these spend the
season in Labrador. It is estimated
that fully 10000 men. women and chill
dren are engaged along the coast or

care of the fish as fast as they are

Sealing Is Dangerous.
The life of the fisherman is q hard
one at best. Only the most rugged can
have the hardwood to endure it. Those
who fish in the small coves frequently
have to carry all their supplies and
fishing apparatus overland on their
backs. then take their catch cut IN the

! though the distance they are required
to go from their schooner is not very
great, being usually about a quarter Of
mile, they frequently get lost in the
fog and drift for days. The tide may
carry them back 10 their haven or it
! may sweep them out on the turbulent
bosom of the Atlantic. Stories of hard
ship endured with great pluck are
numerous. one fellow rowed the boat
alone for three days and nights. after
his companion had become exhausted
and reached land 40 miles from where
he had lost his ship. Another pair of
young men became separated from

Their feet We're so badly frozen that

lives. These men had been adrift for
thirteen days.
Still another tragedy of the banks
was when a fishing vessel coming out
from France cOllided with an iceberg
There were seventy-four men on board
and only three of them escaped. One
boat was picked up containing six
men dead and one alive The rescuers
were sickened by the sight that told
how the one survivor had sustained
himself The poor wretch had partly
eaten one of his comrades. He was in
a pitiful state when rescued and did
not recover for months Another boat
was picked up from this same vessel
containing three men dead and two
alive. The horrors OF such experiences
cannot be properly understood by the
mere recital Of them.
Hard Work and Poor Pay.
The returns for such hazardous
calling are not COMMENSURATE TO the
hardships and the risks. The statement
or the work at ST. Johns shows that in
the savings department there are 1000
accounts under 81 200. and only 120 over
that sum. Comparatively few of the
fishermen have anything for rainy
day. The most of them are behind in
their accounts. They set their sup
plies from che merchant in advance
and he takes their fish on account

HOTEL BRYAN VERDICT
Jury Finds That There Was Negligence.
but Not Enough to Suggest IA Grim
inal Prosecution.

Lansing, Mich, May 24.-The in
quest into the causes of the Hotel Bry-
an fire, in which four boarders lost
their lives, has been finished. The
jury found that the hotel was unsafe
for the purpose for which IL was used.
The manner in which the partitions
were built and the rooms crowded to-
gether, and the small number of win
dows were said to constitute a menace
to life. The manner in which the no.
tel was conducted by Landlord George
Kline, in guarding the lives entrusted
10 his care in the event OF FIRE, WAS
declared to have been very negligent
The jury did not find sufficient evil
dence TO constitute criminal neglect,
but it recommended that the city su-
thorities take steps to remedy condi-
tons believed to exist in other hotels
and rooming houses of the city. Al
though there was evidence that a
small fire in the hotel a few weeks
before, was Of incehdiary origin, the
jury said nothing about incendiarism
