HAVE AN ODD OCCUPATION


Fishing for lost anchors and an
chor chains from the bottoms OF
bays and seas along the coast does
mot seem to be very profitable
pursuit, and yet several sl0ops
and schooners are engaged exclu-
sively in that trade Such "tish-
ing" is most profitable in the
stretch of sea off Delaware break.
water, place widely known
among seafaring men as great
cemetery for anchors. This is duel
to the large number Of vessels
that are compelled to ride off the
breakwater and to their being
caught in a gale while doing so.
The sea floor at this point seems
to have peculiar facility for foul
ing anchors, and vessels are often
compelled to abandon them. But
all along the Atlantic coast there
is fruitful fishing" even the in
terror waters otNthe harbor repay
ing a careful search, and surveys
have been made for some distance
Up the North and East rivers.
Fishing for anchors is a very
simple operation. A chain loop is
let down over the sides Of the
boat until it trails along the bot
tom, and as the boat sails on all
hands stand alert waiting for a
"bite." The tackle is plain, but 1t
has never been improved on. An
chors invariably lie with one
fHke buried in the mud and the
other sticking straight up. If the
chain is dragging toward the i'm
ner curve of the upturned fuke
the "catch" is easy. The anchor is
carefully hoisted by hand, or, if
very heavy, by capstans. In the
ease of an anchor that weighs
1000 or 5000 pounds a driving en-
gine is employed. 1t is very sci
dom that the fishermen lose their
booty. Sometimes two vessels
work together dragging a chain
along the sea bottom between
them.
Generally anchors thus recoy-
cred are sold to be used as anchors
again, for even considerable rust
does not impair their efficiency.
! When they are deeply eaten by
rust they are sold for old iron, but
anchors thus found are generally
+ fit for use. Being made Of
wrought iron, even when sold BY
the pound they bring d good price.
The fishermen have two ways Of
disposing of their wares. They
either sell them to the fish cham
dlers or hawk them about among
the vessels of the harbor. soma<
times they are placed for sale on
the wharfs, with the prices at
tached.
Generally the recovered an
chors bring good prices. New
ones are sold for five cents il.
pound and the ones that have been
hshed up seldom depreciate in
value more than a cent a pound.
The fisherman therefore makes
$40 every thousand pounds re-
covered. If he captures one of the
heaviest anchors 5000 pound
er-he is well paid for his trouble.
But the monsters Of that size are
seldom captured. The average il
between 1,500 and $500 pounds.

m THE UPPER BROADWAY.


York like Upper Broadway still
called by the early settlers the
Boulevard. 1t is free from CON
gestion. All the way up from
Seventy.second street to fhe rise
that leads to Harlem Heights
known to the new generation as
Columbia Heights-there are the
center strips Of green, and when
the weather man has done his
duty one may see a vast expanse
of blue above.
In the beginning it was the In
tention to make this boulevard
the real thing. 1t was expected
that il would be thoroughfare Of
homes, driveway for fashionable
equipages and a promenade. 1t
was to become concOurse.
Then something happened. The
home-seekers went two blocks to
the west. Shops were set up
here and there iu the Boulevard.
Then came cafes, and apartment
hotels crowded in and were built
skyward.
When the subway people decid-
ed that they needed the under part
ct the thoroughfare the name of
the street was changed. The
Boulevard" was dropped. Broad
way was substituted. Custom
called it Upper Broadway.
When the shops and cafes and
apartment hotels began crowding
in, apartment houses followed.
You will see things if You stand
or walk in Upper Broadway in the
evening that you won't see in any
other part of Manhattan. Under
the apartment houses are stores.
They are attractive to peep into.
They have the cleanliness and
freshness of quiet cities like Utica
and Syracuse and Rochester.
In front Of these buildings arc
big shade trees. They are remind.
ers Of what the Boulevard was
to have been. Here, in the sum
mer evenings, you will find chairs
or lawn benches.
The storekeeper has placed
them there for the benefit of his
customers. Some of the latter live
IN the apartments above. Some
live around the corner.
These customers come out III
the evening with their families.
They sit in front Of the open doors
OF the stores. The men smoke
The women form groups and chat.
Sometimes the boss of the store
comes out coatless. He may stand
in his open door and have a talk
with his customers across the
sidewalk.
The stores do not close at six or
seven Or eight. They are open as
long as the customers sit about
the entrance. Not for business
necessarily, but for sociability.
There are no long lines of pedes.
trians, no hurry, no shouting.
That restlessness so conspicuous
all over town elsewhere is not seen.
IN Upper Broadway.
Even the clerks of the little
shops sit outside in the evening
on camp chairs. If customer
comes along there is no rush to
get his money.
But they shouldn't have called
it Upper Broadway say the peo
pie. There is nothing about it
to suggest Broadway"
