Yearly Income Realized Through
Finding of Rich ouahang Bed
by Lost Sailors.

Because two fishermen seeking qua
haugs lost their bearings in a fog the
towns Of Orleans Wellfleet and Esthem
are made richer each year to the extent
of more than $4,000, says an Orleans
Mass report
For years the fishermen sought qua
haugs only when there was nothing elese
to do Two brothers pushed of the Or
leans shore bent on getting as many qua
haugs as possible, seeing in this the only
way to avoid DISAPPOINTMENT to the loved
ones at home
The men became lost in the fog and in
despair threw over the anchor They
knew by the depth that they were far
from where they usually fished.
In desperation one threw over his
rake, and when It came up II contained
more than the men had ever taken in by
one raking Time and time again this
was repeated until before night the boat
was filled. As the fog cleared they made
for home, having first taken their bear

The bed runs parallel with the shore
line Of Orleans, Eastman and Wellfieet,
and is a mile and a half of shore. IL is
two miles long By a mile wide. On an
average the men take three or four bar
rels a day. This could be exceeded, but
restrictions have been imposed by the
towns officials.
The bottom is covered with a substance
not unlike req coral, and under this the
quahaugs lie To take them the coral
substance must be broken. which is the
hard work about the business.
All Of the catch Of the summer is not
marketed at once. but a good portion is
bedded on flats near the shore. and kept
until winter, when better prices can be
obtained.
