THE BLUEFISH BRIGADE.
What Happens When the Blues Make
N Charge Upon Menhaden.

Charge Upon Menhaden.
"When menhaden or herring are
driven upon the beach by bluefish, as
they often are, so that they can be
carried off by the cart load" said a
fisherman, "there is very seldom found
among them one of their pursuers, and
if one is found it is likely to be a fish
that is diseased or that has been hurt
in some way. The bluefish follows to
the very verge of the water, but there
it stops, and it is so powerful and
alert a swimmer that, close as it is, it
still easily keeps clear of the land.
The menhaden or herring are no mean
swimmers. They could come as close
and keep off the shore as easily as the
bluefish do, but not when the bluefish
are after them. Then they are like
men pursued 10 the edge of a preci-
pice 1t is almost certain death to
jump. but they must do that or turn
and take the chances of breaking
through the pursuing line.
when the bluefish-there may be
| 1900 or 1000 of them tOgether-sight
| school of menhaden, they go for it
like a brigade of heavy cavalry, cut
ting and slashing, swapping and biting
right and left. The menhaden are sim
ply overborne by superior weight, and
there is nothing for them to do but
flee. If they are driven toward the
shore, the land is to them what the
precipice would be to the man. They
must take it or they must turn and try
to fight their way through. Many do
turn and try to swim under or over
or around the savage bluefish, and
some escape in this way, and some are
snapped up, and some are MANNED and
then cast ashore, and many of them,
erowding together, are so closely press
ed that they are practically forced
ashore.
Sometimes fish that are not cast up
very far flop down into the water
again A high wave may set some
free A fish thus liberated may fine
it's fins so damaged that it can't swim
and it is cast up again. Weakened by
its rough experience, it may fall a prey
to some of the bluefsh yet lingering
, offshore. 1t may escape. New Yorl
