ICE STOPS OYSTER SUPPLY
Maurice River Cove Frozen For
First Time in Many Years.

The biggest freeze-up in the
annals of the oyster industry
has sealed up Maurice River
cove, made Idle a fleet of 300
schooners and 1900 men and
shut off the supply just at the
season when oysters are most
relished and the demand is
greatest,
Ice-locked in the mouth of the
Maurice River, the big fleet of
schooners lie four or five abreast
tied up to the long wharves,
which stretch for nearly half a
mile. Not a boat has got out to
the oyster beds for nearly four
weeks.
Old oyster boat captians. re-
call that in 1878 the oyster fleet
was tied up here for seven weeks
by ice. Only in the severest
weather does Maurice River
cove freeze over, as the water
is quite brackish because of the
salt tides which sweep in. This
year, however, the cove and the
mouth of the. river have beer
frozen from eight to twelve
inches.
Just what an appetite the pub
lie has for oysters is illustrated
by the fact that shippers her,
have offers Of $18 a thousand
This is considered a fabulou
price by the oystermen, who sci
their catch at wholesale at a
bout nall thau price IN 0rdlnar,
seasons.
Instead of an average of tw
train loads of oysters being shir
ped out of here on every wee
+ day, as in ordinary seasons, nc
I an oyster has been shipped fc
the last fortnight, and compare
/, lively few during the entil
! month Of January. Oyster S;
