James Marsh end John Kingston, while
fishing in the Shrewsbury River Sunday.
had a rather unpleasant experience. They
had twelve weakish I'm the boat when
Marsh stood up to land something big tina
he had hooked. In the excitement he over
turned the boat and they lost the fish and
two rods.
Herman Kress has bought a motorboat.
He has watched the working of a motor
all summer. and Saturday he invited some
friends to go fishing with him. The start
was made and the boat went along smooth
" enough until about four miles from
Keyport; then II stopped. The anchor was
thrown out. and some of the party hshed
while Herman tinkered with the machine.
They rowed back to Keyport. but had
twenty-eight weakfsh with them.
Edward Beach and John Hayes have
ished at Sewaren every fair Sunday since
the weakfshing season commenced. II mas
often been wondered why they lose 50
many fish. They would hook them all
iiEnl, DuL when the nSn would ne near the
boat II would be given a jerk and either
landed in the boat or was lost. Their rea-
son for the Jerk was to prevent the fish
from swallowing any Of the geld that fonts
on top Of the water.
Several requests for information ms "a
the location of the cinder beds mt Sewaren
have been received and from the following
description Il is hoped that correspondents
can locate them. Row up the sound from
Sewaren or Boynton Beach, keeping close
70 the Jersey shore. When the sound
makes q bend below, the Port Reading
coal docks, a small railroad bridge will be
seen in the meadows. Get this bridge on
a line with a white house on the Staten
Island shore that can he seen surrounded
by trees. Then row off shore until the
largest smoke stacks at the smelling works
below Sewaren is on a line with the coal
docks at Port Reading. There is thirty
rect of water there and big Weakfsh can be
caught at those beds for another month.
II ever there were four disguised fisher
men, Ben Lacy, Gus Filler, Andrew Diest-
Ter and Otto Hornish are those four. IT
seems that Hornlsh has a pass emitting
him to go down to- Sandy Hook and fish
and he very kindly invited Lacy, Filler,
and Distler to go with him last Saturday
night. They took the last train from High
land Reach down to the Hook, arriving
there about midnight, aud at once prepared
to fish. After catching four weakhsh il
commenced to rain IN torrents and the
barracks. They were met by the guard,
who forced them to stand at attention I'm
the rain until the officer Of the guard was
summoned. When he arrived he asked
Filler who he was and Lacy nudged him
and told him to say that he was n Republic
can leader. That answer did not seem to
brighten the officer and In answer to his
question Lacy said that he was a Newark
saioon-keeper compelled TO seek recreation
on Sunday as the Bishops law closed him
MP. Hornish then produced his pass and
the officer told them to start on a walk
for the Highlands at once, which they did.
1t was only a seVen-mile walk, but IT took
them until daylight to make the trip.
Hereafter a boat will be good enough for
them, they say.
