erizzled old salts. who attain a most venerable
age in this healthy climate can tell from tales
told them by parents grandparents of rich
prizes taken by the Gloucester fishermen turned
fighters
The great storms that sweep the New England
coast have ever found favorte vortex in the
vicinity of Gloucester. and many shipwrecks have
taken lives near by The large sunken rock
called "Normans Woe" which is well known TO
every visitor, made famous by Longfellow
with his poem, The Wreck of the Hesperus.
Gloucester has been an Incorporated city since
1873 but in many respects it is hard to think of
il anything but a fishing resort, a little village
by the side.
For one thing the flavor of olden times cings
to il. Among the some 5000 men who do moth
ing but fish there are many who have passed the
1Oyear-old mark, and some who have numbered
as many as so years yet they are still able 10
bear their share of the work in going after the
cod and mackerel. This fishing is both arduous
and dangerous.
1t is done from sloops and schooners, which
out to the fishing grounds daily. On each
schooner is nest, to speak, OF dories a series
OF small boats, differing in size so that one can
be comfortably slowed in another and therefore
not take up much room. When the fishing ground
has been found the sailors spread around in the
dories to get their catch
Often In the fog some of the small boats get in
the path of the swift moving ocean liners for the
favorite fishing banks directly a line with
a muchtraveled route. Often not many details
are obtainable of the tragedy which ensues. Only
few lines in the newspapers tell of a small boat
number of small boats with their crews
lost at sea. A hundred thrilling tales of narrow
escapes can be picked up in the course of a day
spent with these hardy men of the sea but the
experiences seem to daunt them They
ever ready for the days trip and its hopes
for reward of beatload of the shining squirm-
ing. painting fish.

Personal Anecdotes

The night of April 8, 1866, was occu-
pied by the rear guard of the army of
Northern Virginia in fighting the Fed
eral infantry which pressed them very
closely on the road about Farmvjlle.
Henry A Wise, who commanded bri.
gage in the rear, together with Rosser's s
cavalry, had been engaged in close
struggle all night. Toward morning
they disengaged themselves and started
to join the main army, which was
moving toward Appomattox Court
House.
AS Gen. Wise rode along he saw a
puddle of muddy water by the road
side; jumping from his horse, he washed
his face in the water, and having no
towel or even handkerchief, he was
obliged to let his face dry.
His long, dark. thin face covered with
a thin layer of yellow mud, which
streamed down his forehead over his
long nose. and his long, black hair
and dark eyes altogether gave him the
appearance of a wild Indian as he rode
along.
Just as the sun began to rise on that
eventful morning and strike Wise's
face 1t became more yellow and ridic-
ulous than before. 1t was at this very
time that Gen. Lee came down the
road, elegantly uniformed, wearing a
handsome yellow sash around his waist,
a gold mounted sword, his boots spot
less, his spurs and bride shining
brightly and all his staff in a very good
condition around him. He was on the
way to meet Grant at Appomattox
Court House. AS the brilliant caval-
cade rode by Gen. Wise came up to
