CRABS NEAR INDIAN HEAD.

JUL e s BACKENHElMER
states that he recently took q trip
to Mattawoman creek. twenty miles
below Washington, to do some bass
fishing. The water was muddy
and the smelt bait was eaten OF
at the head, He and those with
him sought to find the cause. Ty'
ing several smelt together. Jules
felt a pull. and hurriedly bringing
in the line was surprised to find
two large crabs. Further inVesti-
CATION revealed that crabs were
plentiful in the creek. An old boat
man had seen a few there in the
last forty years. but the whole
neighborhood was stirred over tn.
presence of SO many crabs In fresh
water.
The supposition Is that crabs liva
only in salt water and few Potomac
fishermen remember to have seen
them in quantities in fresh water.
Occasionally a straggler gets away
from salt water, but not often.
