TO the picturesque landscape IN the

houses. all built of wood and costing
from $500 to $500 each. They are
pretty in design and are kept as
bright as paint can make them.
One writer in a recent article stated
that the homes were all built OF logs
that the men wore nothing but blue
leans and brogans, and the women
dressed in calico and went in their
hare feet. This assertion was FAR from

~ HE little island of Tangier, Iy-
ing IN Chesapeake bay oppo-
site the mouth of the Poto-
mac river and famed for its
fine oysters, crabs and fish, was re-
Gently made the subject of an article
IN which the island, it's population and
their customs were described with a
greater attention to effect than to
truth. The description was of a
quaint, old fashioned, superstitious
community, far removed from the af-
fairs of the busy world.
But real pictures Of the island of
Tangier do not bear out all the asser-
tions made. At one time these de-
scriptions might have represented con-
ditions there fairly well, just as they
might have represented scores of
other communities in the United
States; but the Tangier of today is
vastly different from the Tangier of
years ag
The island is one of the most beau
tiful bits of land that dot the bay
from Baltimore to the capes of Vir-
ginia. 1t has population Of about
1900 persons, who make their living
largely by catching the famous Tan
gier oysters, crabs, fish and diamond
back terrapin, with which the sur
rounding waters abound. Seven
tenths of the soft crabs shipped from
Crisield, Md, to all parts of the coun-
try are caught IN the waters OF Tan
gier.
Much of the history of the island
is lost previous to the year 1912. But
in the War OF 1912 the British troops,
on their way to Baltimore. halted
there on what were then called the
camp grounds-a tract long since
claimed by the inroads of the bay.
During the stay of the British To-
cal preacher named Joshua Thomas
was invited to preach to the men.
Without fear he roundly upbraided the
British commander, General Ross, for
his intention to destroy Baltimore,
and informed him that he would be
killed. Students of history know that
the prediction came true.

Look for me toward the sunset, burn

Look for me then, and / shall come

Yes, I shall come, beloved, as that

Which flies across the suns last
