PERILS AND HARDSHIPS OF THE COD-FISHER’S LIFE. ’ Lots of Hard Work in Cold and Fog— On the Grand Banks in Winter— Peculiar Qualities of the Gloucester Skipper. ASSENGERS on an ocean steamship are sometimes startled as the great floating pal- ace which carries them westward shoots her black prow into a clump of little schooners anchored, it seems, nearly in the mid- dle of the ocean, says the Leadville Herald-Democrat. Then they realize that they. are crossing the fishing banks, which are located south of Newfoundland, and hundreds of miles from the New England shore. Life on the banks is bad enough in summer, There are hardships and dangers then in plenty, but along about this season of the year, when the banks are swept by cold storms, the dangers as well as the hardships are just about doubled. Still the fishermen stick to the banks, for that is where they find the cod, and to many of them the cod is the only talisman -that will trans- form toil into dollars. So, no matter whether the wind blows high or low, whether the fog wraps them in its haz- ardous folds or the sun shines, whether it rains or snows, the “bankers” go out in their dories to set their trawls and never think of laying their course for Gloucester town until their schooner will hold no more fish or their provis- ions run out.. Although most “bank- ers” are called Gloucester men, as a matter of fact a great many of them regard that place merely as a foreign port in which they find themselves once or twice a year. It used to be that Gloucester boats were manned by Glou- cester men, all Yankees of the pecu- liar species known to Cape Ann. But that was when there was more money: in fishing than there is today. Now the Gloucester boats carry crews to which all nations have contributed, with perhaps a few exceptions. Por- tuguese, Scandanavians, French, Nova Scotians and Spanish ship in the Yankee boats and take their pay in good American dollars. But the boats themselves are of Gloucester build and their captains are Glezcester born and bred. “When a fishing boat sails for the banks she carries provisions for six months or more, and in her hold are great bins of salt sufficient to keep all the cod which can be piled into her. She is not a commodious craft at best, but the greater part of the space below decks must be reserved for the catch, and so the crew’s quarters are always cramped. The dozen or fifteen men are crowded into a little cabin in which there is just room enough for a row of narrow bunks on each side of a table in the center. In the forward end is the cook’s galley, where that dignitary exercises a wonderful economy of space jin disposing of his pots and pans. Even on deck, there it little room, for what space is not occupied by the water butts and other casks is taken up by the dories, which fit into each other like so many spoons. But fish- erman have neither time nor inclina- ticn for promenading. Once the banks are reached the captain picks out his berth, furls his sails, drops his anchor and sets a little triangular piece of can- vas known as a riding sail. Just how he knows where to find the fish he will not explain. Perhaps he couldn’t if he tried, but knew he does or else he would never be captain of a Gloucester fisherman. The average navigator would worry himself sick in trying to find out where he was after floating around on the banks for a few weeks, changing berths in the fog or in the dark.. The Gloucester skipper may not trouble to “take the sun” once a month, but still he has a fair idea of the exact spot of the banks on which his anchor rests, There is a tradition that some of the veterans among them can de- termine their location by simply smell- ing of the lead as it comes from the bottom. This beats even the old yarn which is told in rhyme of Obadiah Folger, the Nantucket whaler, whose mate tried to puzzle him by dipping the tallowed end of the sounding lead into a box of earth brought from home. The grizzled captain was not to be fooled that way, however, for he sang out in great alarm: Nantucket’s sunk, I know, I know. Marin Starbuck’s squash bed’s just be- low. Heave ho the lead! Heave ho! At any. rate, they are the most skill- ful of navigators and, what is more to the purpose, they know the banks bet- ter than the streets of their native town and are more familiar with the habits of the cod than of their next- decor neighbor. Once the anchor is down the dories are sent out to set the trawls. The dories are slight, frail- looking little boats, sharp at each end, with straight sides and flat bottoms, but they will ride like ducks over seas that make big steamships stagger. Even the French fishing brigs send to Gloucester after their dories. Two men are sent out in a boat. One man rows while the other pays out the trawl, a long rope, buoyed at each end, to which the lines and hooks are attached. Each boat carries several of these trawls and as soon as the last one is set and however,*his hands are generally cut and swollen, for a small cod line with a fish on’ the end of it weighing from ten to seventy-five pounds is not an easy thing to handle. The second man stands in the stern and as the trawl is pulled in he takes off the fish, kills it with a blow of his club and coils the trawl in a tub at his feet. Perhaps you can imagine what an unpleasant job this is in the summer, but unless you have had a similar experience you cannot conceive the hardship of it in winter. There is peril, too. No one but a “banker” could stand in a pitch- ing, tossing dory and do any sort of work. Besides this, you must remem- ber that he is out there on the ocean, perhaps two or three miles away from his schooner with nothing to guide him. back but his instinct. When the fog shuts down suddenly he is in great danger of missing the little craft al- together, even though the fog bell is rung steadily on such occasions, Then, when he has six or eight trawls out and sees a storm coming up, he must get them in again if possible before he seeks safety. When he does return, with a dory loaded to the gun- wales with fish, he is given only a brief space of time to swallow his supper be- fore he has to go on deck and help “dress down” the day’s catch. In this work each man has a particular part which he performs, The fish first go to a man who cuts off the heads with one swing of the cleaver and jerks out the entrails with another move- ment. The next man splits the cod lengthwise and takes out the backbone. Then the fish are washed and passed down into the hold; where the packers and salters are at work by lantern- light: An expert salter is almost in as much demand as a good skipper. The fish are piled in layers as com- pactly as possible and are sprinkled with salt, so that they will keep until they can be unloaded on the Glouces- ter wharf, whence they go to the pick- ling vats and tken to the drying yards, “AGIN” THE RAILROAD. Why the New Project Did Not Pros per. A new railroad had been projected across Apache county and Col. Sand- ers was sent over to Dry Falls to talk the matter up at a public meeting and get the county to vote a big subscrip- tion, says the New York Journal. He told his audience what benefits would be derived from railroad communica- tion with the outer world and, after an enthusiastic address, lasting halt an hour, he said he would like to hear from the audience. Thereupon Bill Shorter arose and asked: “Kurnel Sanders, would that ’ere railroad ’o yours cheapen the price of whisky in this town?” “It would,” replied the colonel. “Yes, sir, I can promise you that it would cheapen the price of whisky by one-half.” “Then put me down as bein’ agin it,’ continued Bill, as he reached around to feel if his gun was there, “I’m keepin’ a saloon, I am, and if 30- cent drinks ar’ goin’ down to 15, then I don’t want no railroad.” Then Tom Davis arose and inquired if the boys would have the privilege of shooting at the engineers, the same as they did at the stage drivers. The colonel wanted to dodge the question but had to answer that the shooting privileges would probably be some- what curtailed. “Then I’m agin yer railroad!” ex- claimed Tom. “And whatever I’m agin ginerally dies in about ten days.” Then Joe Thayer arose to suppose a case. Suppose he was walking on the railroad track and a train came along. Would he be expected to give that train the right of way? The colo- nel hemmed and hawed and said that railroad trains always had the right of way in every country, but Joe waved his arms about and shouted: “Then I'm also agin yer railroad and we’ve had gab ‘nuff! The only durned thing I ever turned out fur was an avalanche that slid a hull mountain seven miles down into the valley, and I’ve always been dawg- gened sorry I did that!” The colonel tried to go on but the meeting broke up and the railroad was never built. An Old Typo. Sixty-five years ago Hiram Lukens entered the Intelligencer office at Doylestown, Pa., to learn printing, and he is there yet, setting type as fast as anybody around the place.
