| LETTERS
That Voice from the Sea.
| S1r,—About three or four weeks, ago an janonymous letter appeared in the Patriot newspaper, headed, ‘‘The Fishery Sur- render.” In the Montreal Witness of the
22ad inst., the same letter makes its ap-'
|pearance, this time duly signed, Alexander | Robertson, Red Point, P. E. L, and ad- dressed to the editor of the Witness. The letter itself is published word for word as it ‘appeared in the Patriot, but the heading is changed to ‘‘A Voice from the Sea.” ‘as the Red Puint correspondent of the Witness has seen fit to palm off on that /paper as original an old letter from the | Patriot, I am not going to complain; but I | most strongly protest against his voice being jtaken as a ‘‘voice from the sea.” Old | Neptune himself would not recognize it as such. And what injury, I would like to ask, did the America®s ever inflict upon jhim? He is, lam told, neither a fisher- |man nora seaman. What, then, does he / know about ‘‘hook and line’ fishing—ex- ‘cept, perhaps, as he may practice it with a | bent pin, and flannel bait, in some swamp |or neighboring mill pond. He is pleased to iwrite in contemptuous terms of us |‘*yankees,” as he styles us. I may tell him that his Island neighbors lose nothing by coming amongst us, and his reference to jthe many brave Islauders who have been ‘entombed on the bank of the George’s is | quite out of place. Many of your Islanders ‘become wealthy in our country, and when any or them come to the United States we are always ready to give play. as thousands of them will realily testify. From all I can learn, I believe it is the desire of, your peo- 'ple to deal with us and to treat us as ‘friends and not as foreigners or enemies. I, for one, am not opposed to Reciprocity with Canada on fair terms. But how are we to have Reciprocity, in regard to the fisheries, at least, if, as the Witness, corres- pondent advises, seining shall be done away with. Let me say that Americans will never go back to the old hook and line style. It would be but little use to them if they should ; for mackerel have long ago forgotten how to be caught by that ancient mode of fishing. I am glad to see that many of your own fishermen have already recognized this fact, and have provided themselves with seines. There are plenty of mackerel in the sea for us all—both Islanders and Americans. Then let us try to agree while catching them. If we begin to fight over it, and to call each other hard names, we may expect, as the result, nothing but ill feeling and hard luck. Whatever may be the upshot of the present fishing arrangements, there is one thing certain, and that is that Reciprocity will never be brought about by hostile feelings between the twocountries. If it ever does come, it will come as the result of careful and conciliatory measures, and in no other Way. Yours truly, An AMERICAN FISHEKMAN. July 28th, 1885.

Something for the Children.
Sm,— Would you kindly publish the fol- lowing in the columns of the Examiner ? | would like to make it known, as itis a simple and sure remedy :—
Take a cupful of oats, brown them as dark as coffee, pour water on, let them boil a few minutes. Take the water, add a little milk and sugar, and it makes an ex- cellent cure for summer complaints for children. It has been known to cure
cholera infantum when all else failed. o-
From the Fishing Gazette. Oyster Fishing in Richmond Bay:
BY S. M. BENT.
Richmond Bay, on the north side of P. E. 1., is one of the most picturesque sheets of water in the Maritime Provinces. It is about ten miles in extreme length, by six in breadth. It is sheltered from the wild storms of the Gulf by the great sand hills forming Lennox, Bird, George and Fish Islands, between which latter and the main- land is the main entrance, a passage about three-fourths of a mile wide, through which the tide rushes with irresistable force. Several small wooded Island,—whose sandy banks are the favorite resort of thousands of brant, ducks and gulls, as well as an occasional seal—dot the surface of the bay, while the country around, comprising such fine settlements as Malpeque (a well-known watering place), Indian River, St. Eleanor’s, Lots 14 and 16, Port Hill and Tyne Valley, present to the view many of the best farm- ing sections of the province. The well tilled farms sloping down to the water’s edge, the straight line fences, the white farm-houses and out buildings, the distant church spires, all alternating and commingled with reaches of primeval forest or groves of ex- quisite shade trees, form a scene that well repays a day spent in idly floating over the surface of this blue, calm bay. When one gees upon this beautiful panorama of land and water, bathed in the mellow glow of a soit September sun, and watches the hun- drads of littls fishing boats girdling acrgss tho golden tinted, rippling waves, their white sails just swelling with the gentle z>phyr, and the gulls—not whiter than the flcating clouds above—pleying on the long, glistening sand beach, he asks himself it | this is a scene from Arcadia, or if its | brightness will be swept from sight by the) first storm cloud that arises. i
At the bottom of this beautiful bay, end
at the depth of from ten to eighteen feet, |
some of the most celebrated oyster fisheries |

SinegLz Coprzs Two CxEnTs,
VOL. 17.---NO, 58. ‘fishers have scarcely dreamed. The boats used in oyster fishing are about sixteen feet keel, carry from one to three small sails, ‘and are manned by two or more men. The ‘fishermen use rakes or ‘‘tongs,’ with /wooden handles long enough to reach to the bottom. These rakes are ‘somewhat similar to garden rakes, with ircn teeth three or four inches Jong, ‘and two inches apart. Two rakes are ,fastened together in the same manner as a | blacksmith’s tongs, four feet from the head, 80 that, when open, they spreed apart nearly three feet, and*then closing like clamps, tear the oysters in clumps or |bunches from the bottom, when they are lifted into the boat. Sometimes only one ‘or two oysters, sometimse as many as half a peck are brought up at a dip. From two to four barrels, according to the ground fished over, is each man’s daily average. The oysters are brought ashore and ‘‘bed- ed” in shallow water until they are taken to market, when they are packed in barrels and hauled by team to Summerside, where they are sold to the shippers, often bringing only eighty cents per barrel, and ocaasionally rising to $2.25 or $2.50. There are not more than three firms in Summerside that make a specialty of shipping oysters, and though they no doubt give the best prices the mar- kets will afford, yet there are times when the fishermen are inclined to think the tra- ders look out for ‘“‘number one” only. Nearly all the oysters taken ia Richmond Bay, about fourteen thousand barrels yearly, are shipped to Montreal, Quebec, and St. John, N. B.
How do the fishermen find the beds at such adepth? They carry a long pole in each boat, with which they “‘sound,” and as the bottom of the bay is either sand or soft mud, when they strike a hard surface they have, in nine cases out of ten, found a ‘* bed,” and as the beds cover an immense area, they have very little searching to find good fishing ground. Then, again, all the larger beds can easily be located by promi- nent landmarks, such as a church, a grove of trees, a farm, and similar objects brought within a certain range.
The winter and long close season in the middleiof the summer leave only about two months and a half of the year for oyster fishing. During the winter holes are cut in the ice and a limited quantity taken to supply local markets, and during the close season, despite the watchfalness of the war- dens, a good many barrels are filled with this dainty moilusk.
It is a matter of much regret that no care —beyond a feeble enforcement ef the law against a few who persist in viclating the close season—is taken to provide for the propagation of such a delicions shell-fish. But it is a game of grab with both shippers and fishermen. No attention is bestowed upon the beds. they are ruthlessly fished out, so that the oysters shipped now are rot nearly so large or so profitable as those exported during the earlier years of the trade, when it was no trouble for each man to average three barrels a day, and dispose of them for $3 per barrel. Unless this wholesale destruction is checked, and the close season enforced, the Richmond Bay fisheries, producing as they do the most exquisitely flavored oysters of Canada, will ere long be a thing of the past, and the beautiful blue waters will no longer be a source of income to hundreds of fishermen, who are now practically killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

A Revolution in Sentiment.
A writer of Conservative sympathies po- litically gives in the Toronto Week a glow- ing account of the revolution prodrced in the Northwest by the arrival of the Can- adian troops. Previous to this event, ac- cording to this writer, the pecple about Calgarry were not Canadians at all. Curses were the only thing they had for that vaguely imagined monster, the Canadian Government. They were not Canadians but ‘‘Albertians.” How that word is to be pronounced we do not know. We do hope that it will not be perpetuated. We are glad to learn that now they are enthusiastic Canadians. The effect has been quite as noteworthy all over the Dominion as in Alberta. The first genuine expression of Canadian netional feeling since confederation has been this uprieing of the citizens of every province to put down an outlandish insurrection and the mutual amenities drawn forth by the re- turn of the battalions. It is only a pity that British Columbia, which would have afforded a most effective contingent, was not permitted to join in the national deed. If we are not mistaken, the tremendous out- gush of feeling over the returning troops is not limited to the joy of seeing ‘‘the boys” back from their adventurous excursion. Some of them go out on hunting or fishing expeditions almost as adventurous, and are allowed to drive home in a cab without encountering, even at their own thresholds, more than ordinary emotion. But there was in this event the first sensible glow of national patriotism, the first hug of fellow citizenship, the first sense of national man- hood and self-dependence. In this view we think it behoves every Canadian to accentu- ate the occasion to the utmost.
