Crabs are here in great abundance,
so plentiful are they several fishermen
have undertaken to ship them to the
city markets by the barrel. The crabs
are large and fat and the demand for
them far exceeds the supply. The
cause of this sudden increase in the
number of crabs Is easily explained.
Last winter being unusually severe the
crabs in the sounds was frozen out.
The crabs now being caught are from
the ocean, coming to the sounds and
mud flats in large numbers to spawn
and bury in the mud. If this winter
does not prove to be too severe we
should have any quantities of crabs
next summer,
So successful have the Sunday ex-
cursions proven, they will be continued
for three weeks longer, says the reports
sent out by the Pennsylvania railroad
company. Last Sundays excursion
brought about 300 people to the island,
an excellent showing for this time of
the year. 1t is expected that several
boats will continue to make trips to the
fishing banks to accommodate the Sun
day excursionists. Although the fish
catches are not very large, the yacht
ing trips are both invigorating and ex-
hilaratipg.
