WRECKERS FOUND in OLD PAPER

without respect to weather or
fatigue. Most of the vessels
wrecked and brought into this
port. but for the timely assistance
of the wreckers, would prove a
total loss. The wreckers are a
class sui generusn; they consist
mostly of waits on our shores
from the maritime nations Of the
Old World, though most of the
States of our Union have their
representatives. Their language
is equally Heterogeneous, each one
has some pet word of his own en-
grated upon the language in
vogue. Their shares rarely ex-
coed the ordinary wages of sea-
men, but influenced by the great
er freedom from labor, and the
hope of a prize, when once en-
tered upon the business they sell
dom abandon it. Sometimes for
a change they turtle or fish for a
month or two, or squat down upon
some Key with the intention of
raising tropical fruits; but soon
or late they are all at home
again, on the forecastle of a
wrecker. When not employed on
wreck, all the labor required
is to hoist sail at daybreak: then
after lookout of a few miles on
the reef. if no vessel needs their
services. they return to their har-
Dor. and the rest of the day is at
their own disposal. Thew are not
ed generally for the facility with
which they get rid of their mon
ey, and however a fat wreck may
have filled their pockets, week
ashore will clean them out, and
fit them for another cruise. Much
wrong has been done to the repu-
tation of the Florida wreckers. In
the exercise of their hard en-
ployment. they have never turn
ed a deaf ear to the cries of hu-
They promptly leave
their stations to carry ship
wrecked passengers into port,
without remuneration land often
have they risked their own lives
to save strangers from a watery
grave. True, their business
grows out of the misfortunes of
their fellow men; but so does the
healing art, and the physician is
not more welcome to the sick
man. than the wrecker to the
tempest-tossed mariner. who, af-
ter days of conflict with the
elements, rejoices to strand his
vessel on the reef, whence she
shall float no more. The number
of wrecks does not seem to in
crease in proportion to the rapid
growth of commerce. This may
be attributed to the improvement
of nautical instruments generally
used. and superior character and
of those to whom
the command of vessels is now
entrusted.
But the unknown reefs, sunk
en- shoals and fierce currents on
this coast, will. Notwithstanding
the increased experience in nav
igation, and all the aid of mod
ern science. still prove fatal to
many gallant ship. Such is an
outline of this, in many respects,
unique trade. which, however it
may be regarded by others, to the
Keys it is not only the exclusive
source whence it's revenue is de-
rived, but the sole means of it's
existence. BY the nature of this
trade, as we'll as its modus oper-
andi, it will be seen that all
classes of the community must
necessarily be interested therein.
