GRAVEDIGGER HAS
A WEIRD VISITOR

It’s a rather uncanny job to be
an official grave digger. It’s a
great deal worse, however, when
a stubborn rock blocks the way so
that the digging must be con-

 

 

 

eapture hundreds of tons, down
to the little boy who eatches a
week's supply in a basket.

The harbor simply swarms
with herring. A few men and boys
were seated on the wharf with a
long line in their hand on which
was attached a lead sinker at the
end, while all along the line were
strung a series of sharp hooks.
There was no bait on these hooks,
for all you have to do is to throw
the line as far as you can into
the harbor and while you are
pulling it back to the shore you
eatch perhaps a fish on every
hook for they are so thick in the
jwater that they cannot possibly
escape.

Some others went a little closer
and got down on the floats or on
small boats and helped them-
selves with a hand scoop net. A
half an hour would be almost suf-
ficient to fill the boat. If you
haven't got a scoop net or a line
with a hook, however, you need
not despair for all you have to
do is to get hold of an old basket
or a_ bucket punched with
holes and lower it into the wa-
ter and when you take it up you
will find it full of fish. A more
primitive method still will do.
You can take the oar of your boat
and watch the fish swimming at
the surface of the water and pick
them out with the oar,

Perhaps the most picturesque
sight of all, however, is to watch
the big boats fish with their
purse-seine nets. They can tell
where the fish are thickest by the
flitting of the gulls, which
swoop down in thousands and
pick their fish out of the surface
ofthe water. The boats run
around this sehool with their
nets dragging behind and when
they have completely encircled the
fish they begin to pull on their
“purse strings’ until the fish are
imprisoned in @ bag. Hundreds
of tons are often caught in this
way at one time and carried in
scow loads to the big cold storage
plant, where they are frozen into
small blocks of about twenty-five
pounds each and preserved like
that until required for bait. Last
year this company put away about
a thousand tons of fish and this
year will probably increase that
amount, The average price of
bait is 825 per ton, so that this
itself is a paying business, to say
nothing of the halibut, salmon
and cod that is handled.

Nobddy need be hungry

tinued into the middle of the
night. Imagine ypurself three
or four feet down in the earth,
digging away for all you are
worth in the wee ema’ hours of
morning, while nothing but the
stars of heaven twinkling over
your head are there to tell your
story. That's what you think
with your nose to the ground and
your back ‘to the stars, but sud-
denly you lift your head and there
stands a man at the end of the
grave looking down at you with
his eyes wide open. If you have
ever heard any of these ghost
stories that they tell away back
east you immediately make up
your mind that there stands the
spirit of the vietim for whom you
are digging that hole. just hav-
ing a preliminary look around to
see that his last resting place is
broad and deep. Perhaps your
blood will freeze in your veins
and perhaps you will fall right
flat in the pit you have made for
the other fellow's bones—and you
are not to be blamed if you do—
but if your ears are still able to
receive a message and convey it
to the seat of your intelligence—
if you have any by this time—it
would be a mighty pleasing piece
of information to be told that
your visitor wasn’t dead at all,
but a ‘poor lonely fisherman who
was wandering along that path
on the way to his boat. This is
all true and it happened right
here in Prinee Rupert.
