advancing until some show little more than
their small heads. Then lining up in a row
they commence their journey parallel with
the coast, dragging the nets behind them
without regard to the dashing waves, which
to the onlooker threaten both horse and
rider with destruction.
There are strong currents, and the water
is bitterly cold, yet neither horse nor rider
appears to meet with disaster. They never
stop nor change their pace, and the riders
often awash almost up to their breasts
continue IL pull at cigar or pipe.
Now and then the four men en- the ex-
treme outside in deepest water suddenly
change their course and wheel round shore
ward, while others slow up. This allowed
the next four to occupy their place, and
thus turn and turn about was given to each
man so that the seas harvest might be
equally divided.
Gradually 1t became evident the nets were
getting heavier, but it was not Tor an hour
or more that any movement was made to-
ward dry land. But at last these queer
toilers of the sea emerged gigantic and
dripping. Once more the big horses stand
still and men, women and children fall
upon the nets to assert their contents
with flying fingers.
Objectionable jellyhsh and worthless
shells and seaweed are cast aside and the
rest OF the catch, consisting chiefly of
shrimps small soles, cells, place and
founder, are put into baskets.
I noticed the horses were of a unique
breed. Certainly they and their forbears

The horses are marvelously eXpert in
avoiding holes under tho water-indeed,

they have decided theories of their own
about currents. and obstinately refuse 70

part Of the coast for their abode. They
live the lives OF their forefathers over
again, earning their daily bread In exactly
the same way that their ancestors did
generations ago.
Two hours walk beyond Newport came
the hrst glimpse OF fisherman mounted
on horseback clad In oilskins. with his
swart face peerinS out from under his

ostend Is one Of the most expensive and
fashionable resorts in the world, but few
of It's summer visitors realize that within
a few miles of the great Casino and King
Leopolds villa there is desert of rolling
sand peopled only by rabbits and little
colony of Flemish fishing folk who are al
most as much cut of from the world as
though they lived in Lhassa.
A little trolley line connects Ostend with
the tiny harbor OF Newport, and thither
the writer went one spring morning to find
busy fisher folk overhauling boats and
gear.
Some faint echo OF Ostend must have
penetrated here, because one end Of the

may stay for 81 a day, and some tiny
lodging houses with perhaps half dozen
bathing machines. There is even sleepy
little pier, but the whole air of the place is
languid and faded. 1t seems to be sinking
back into oblivion after a spasmodic effort.
A little further along the coast the desert
begins-a vast extent OF naked dunes
stretching in some places far inland and ut
terly worthless for cultivation even by the
poorest of the poor.
It is here among the rabbit haunted
dunes that tho queer fishermen live. They
