It re fused to eat a thing after the steamer had started on her way and hit the pungent sea breexes. CHINESE SAILORS HAPPF. Discover Harbor Alive With Fish and Now Live High. Chinese crews of foreign steamers in Portland harbor are happy these days. They have discovered the river remark ably well stocked with carp and other fish relished by orientals although not often seen on the white man's bill of fare, and now they improve their time by fishing when not otherwise engaged. Hundreds of carp are hauled out dally over the sides or. tne Dig freight steam ers that line the grain wharves and lumber mill. . ' More fish are caught than can be gotten away with while In the harbor and so the -Chinese have hit upon the happy plan of curing them for future use. Cloven like mackerel or cod. the carp are strung On lines and hung out to dry in the clear, crisp atmosphere with which Portland la being favored at this lata date of summer snd then they - are carefully packed away In a dry place for future use. Thus, It is said, the Chinese who have to furnish their own food supplies, will save no little on the voyage out of here. The fish-curing habit started with the Chinese on board the British steam er Cambrian King at the Elevator dock last week,' and, somehow, although the orientals are not permitted to go ashore, news of the scheme spread rapidly to other crews In the harbor. Yesterday afternoon the Chinese on the Portland A Aslatio- liner Numantla set to work fishing for carp with the, result, that In a few hours they had enough to last them several days besides a ' large quantity for sun baking.- Fishing will continue uninterrupted as long as the ateamer remains in port and possibly the Chinese will have enough fish to take some home tor friends not as fortunately situated. The crew of the I Cambrian King has stored away enough . dried carp to last a voyage around the . world and they are still adding to their I uppiy. The harbor la said to be literally alive with carp, many weighing , aa much as IS pounds each. Dosena of - men make a living oy xisnmg rrom the docks and selling their catches to I merchants In Chinatown, live fish I bringing -about one cent a pound.- One I , industrious risnerman says he earns on an average of $1.50 a day fishing for) the Chinese market. Ana he enjoys me sporu jinoiner noes suu oetter, but employes the more, expensive method or setting out nets over night. Every now and then one of the net Is torn to pieces oy passing steamer or stolen and then ms prorits for several days are lost. OLD BARGE STILL AGROUND. CONCERT LARGELY ATTENDED.
