motley crew OF half naked, jabbering
gesticulating Chinese. As they neared
the landing there arose q sudden com
motion followed by the quick drop Of
running sails and the partial drawing
In of the great sweeps. One of them
II anything more villainous looking
than the rest, stopped over something
in the bottom OF the boat, making a
quick pass with a long knife His
queue spun out in the breeze like a
ships pennant. One by one the crews
brought their queer craft to the land
ing, each loaded with mass of ami
mate sea life that glistened and moved
like one great body, and it was only
by peering over the boats edge that
we discovered its real nature-thou-
sands and thousands of live shrinps
varied by other small fish and an oc-
cssional founder.
Instantly ashore everything was ae-
tivity. Almond eyed children and
mongrel ours announced in shriil stae-
cato calls and barks the arrival of the
feet, while yellow skinned coolies
bearing great wicker hampers siIs
pended from poles borne across their
shoulders, staggered under the terrific
weight Of the cargoes they were un-
loading, marking their footsteps with
the peculiar shutting walk of the Chi
nese, a step that seemingly never
changes.
At the rear of the shacks coolies
were busily engaged in rakine TO-
gether enormous piles of dried. strirnns
upon great areas Of drying platforms
built of lumber on the hillside and
made smooth as a ballrom floor. They
employed long wooden rakes. and

taken TO the sacking rooms and there
compressed into bales Weighing about
300 pounds Before the law prohibit

force thousands of tons were shipped
to China each year. A large business
was also carried on in the exportati

the richest natural fertilizers known,
and which command a price ranging

Twenty years ago the China fisheries
were places of endless interest liter
sally Swarming with hordes OF Chinese,
and there is many a man IN San Rafael
today who at ono time or another has
had a hair raising experience IN con-
nection with a visit to one of the four
fishing villages. 1t would be hard to
state just how long the camps have
existed, but 1t Is certain that as far
back as 1865. when Point San Pedro
was practically owned by Joseph Bull
lis. a pioneer Of Marin county. the fish
cries were then at their zenith.
So 1t was that sought out Mrs Bull.
lis, whose husband. dead these many
years, was son of Joseph Bulls. the
original owner of the land where the
camps are situated. Mrs Bulls lives
in San Rafael. and though she is an
old, old lady, she was able to tell me
much about the camps II remember

i was only little girl, and that was
long time ago, to sec the Chinese
Phere must have been 700 or 500 of
