Yesterday morning bright and early. SIX
well known mill men from Valley street
left the square for Oakland Beach for a
days ishing, and they went prepared for
the day, but they proved TO be better mill
men than fishermen. One of the party,
who is overseer OF the finishing depart
ment and was, undoubtly. the best looking
one OF the bunch was on this occasion
chief cook and bottle washer. A chief en-
gineer better known as the yellow man
from Baltimore" was chosen az second
hand. while a real mill second hand with
a real face was just an ordinary man. In
his class were two calIendering men and
a pipe coverer and how the mill ever ran
one day without this combination has not
been figured out
But one OF the party was versed In fish
ing, and this, OF course, was the chap
that had been selected chief and he
knew quite enough for the whole party.
had they all obeyed his commands.
They didn't, however and this got them
into a whole lot OF trouble for the row.
boat that they had got away from the
shore and I'm Il was the yellow man from
Baltimore" the callendering men and the
pipe coverer
For time II looked as II the quartet
would be carried out into the bay and.
perhaps this would have been the case.
had not the chief shouted TO them, and
told them TO throw the anchor overheard,
which was done. This left half OF the
party on the shore but all Of the bait.
and this included all kinds Of bait. as was
supposed at the time, was In the boat.
council OF war was held and IL was de-
ctded 10 order the men In the boat 10 do
the best that they could In rowing the
craft ashore. SO the yellow man began
TO tug away at the anchor and, IL the
''chief' tells the truth. he spent just one
hoalr and % minutes at this and might
have been at II yet, had not n man, who
knew the lay OF the land, told the men on
shore that the anchor had became tangled
up I'm cable.
Then some one got another boat and
rowed out and took charge OF the impris-
oned boat but not without the assistance
OF the man. who knew the lay OF the land
and who left the party AZ soon as he got
them out of their difficulty.
Then they began TO FISH. and the |
"chief' thought that IL was abont time |
for the party TO take Just a little ''beit" |
themselves, and one can Judge their sur |
prise when they learned. that the bait |
that they referred TO had been left buried |
in the sand on the shore. II was voted TO |
''puil for the shore" and get this bait"
The vote was carried into execution and |
then. and not until then. did the fishing |
begin in earnest. They fshed for two |
hours and at the end OF that time, the |
"chief' caught measiey little eel and |
the pipe coverer caught a good sized nat |
fish But as no one saw him catch n, they |
all swore that he smuggled IL into the
boat, and that he had stolen Il at that.
-
30 they reached the shore, and with the
eel and fiat Ash and with other articles OF
food that they had In their possession
made a chowder or at least something
that they called a chowder Each OF the
six before leaving the shore pledged their
word and honor. that no one but them-
selves would ever know what happened to
them that day. but one OF them. had
promised his best friend mess of nsh, he
told the story and he says that every
word was true and that he had not told
more than one half Of the hard luck that
overlook them, yesterday. This man says
that when he wants fiat fish again that
he win get them at the nearest Ash mar
ket.
