BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLAS IN
BRITISH WATERS, Nov. 30.—(By
mail)—Irish fishermen along the
coasts where the U-boats operate,
have made some remarkable catches
during the past year. The story of
the fishermen who found a $15,000
box of diamonds from the Lusitania
in his nets one day, and whose hon
esty in returning them to their right
ful owners was rewarded by a check
for $1,000. is well known. There is
another fisherman who came home
from a fishing expedition with a fine
new' American automobile lashed to |
the deck of his little trawler. There J
are hundreds of fishermen who have
made modest fortunes out of salvage
of one kind or another. Wheat, flour
and coal salvage are all profitable j
business in the coast towns nowadays.
The story of the man who came
home from the sea with a brand new
automobile is a household favorite in
the Irish ports. Accompanied by his
son he wras mackerel fishing when he
was aroused by the report of an ex
plosion. On the horizon a cargo
steamer from America was settling by
the stern. It had been torpedoed.
The fishermen headed for it and soon
met the captdin and crew in two open
boats. "She's loaded with American
automobiles, you might get one before
she goes under,” said the skipper
jokingly as he and his shipmates pass- J
ed on toward shore.
The torpedoed ship was still well
above water when the fisherman
[ came alongside. He at once sent his
J son on hoard to look around. The
latter found the hold full of automo
biles. “Run one out through this
gangway,” directed the father. With
the aid of some tackle the machine
was dropped into the fishing vessel.
A few moments later as the trawler
steamed away the ship disappeared.
The fisherman with an automobile is
now the envy of his village.
Many torpedoed vessels manage to
reach shore where they are usually
pounded to pieces on the rocks. But
before the cargo is lost forever peo
ple come from miles around to sal
• vage it. Anything that will float is
used and everyone helps himself. Men
women and children attack, cargo and
ship, removing brass fltings and any
thing else of value. Flour and canned
meats, fruits and vegetables form the
larger portion of the salvaged articles.
One village has had the good for
tune to have a couple of foodships
bring up on its very doorstep. Most
of the ships of course go down at sea.
But this does not dishearten the alert
fishermen who have been known to
transfer several hundred sacks of the
best American flour from a vessel
while it is sinking many miles from
j land. If the explosion tears a big
“ i enough hole in the victim much of the
I cargo will become loosened and wash
ashore where it is quickly spied by j
the watchful eyes of the natives.
Salvage companies also are very ac
tive and are making huge profits.
Some have transferred their whole
staffs to this coast. Their agents
can bid on a wheat cargo without
seeing It and can tell just how far
into a sack of flour the water will
have penetrated In a given period.

amounting to $46, going to the to
