SHIPPING mackerel NEW ENGLAND FISHERMEN ARE 1 MEETING WITH TREMENDOUS SUCCESS— CAPE MAY RESIDENTS *«r AWAKENING TO THE VALUE OF THEIR PRESENCE FROM BUSINESS STANDPOINT. NEW WHARF AGE FACILITIES NEEDED. The harbor has been looking like a harbor in fact during the last few days, j J Thirty or more sail boats of mackerel j fishermen from New England hare , moored there during the day and fished i during the night several miles off at sea. I following the trail of the mackerel and making big catches. The vessels made a "forest of masts," in the harbor and | look very good. The fish are barreled and shipped from the wharves established for the purpose and the shipments hare run into aome thousands of barrels. The boats are all fitted with gasoline en- ' gines as well as with sail and this enables them to fish with regularity and to land their cargoes at stated times. ' They buy a lot of their supplies here and ou rpeoplc are awakening to the fact that there presence here is a big thing, ^ from a business standpoint, for the city. The wharves are on the north side of the harbor and the business cannot become, in the slightest degree, annoying to the ^ resort. It iB of great importance, there- | fore, that proper facilities be afforded especially in the direction of more comprehensive wharving facilities and some effort sbould be made to place the matter before the Cape May Real Estate Company or Mr. Graves or whoever owns the ' land upon which wharves would be placed. If the land can be purchased there is no doubt that money could be raised by subscription for the purpose and also for ; erecting adequate wharves for the pro- I motion of the business. There are many j other fishermen who will come here whenever proper facilities arc provided. The public interest in this matter is ( Intense. ( HOME FROM HOSPITAL.
