REMINGTON ARMS COMPANV, 
ILION, N. Y. 
and Rev. Mr. Bosman came down to ask Rusk 
to set the Bishop across to Lakes 'Cove, four 
or five miles up the Honga. It was a lively 
journey—the boat plunged and pitched, and 
Rusk told stories, sang, impersonated a par¬ 
son’s sermon by saying the alphabet with 
varying emphasis. He was at his best, and 
excruciatingly funny. 
“My. mv, my!” exclaimed Brother Bosman, 
shouting with joy. A brave, good man is Bos¬ 
man. He rides his circuit of islands—Barron, 
and the three Hooper's Islands—sometimes in 
; ferocious gales, careless of sleet and snow, 
and always cheerful. His task takes him afloat 
in all kinds of weather, and long since he won 
the admiration of the seafaring men among 
r horn he works. 
“He don’t scare,” the islanders said. 
Hooper’s Island depends chiefly on oysters, 
! fish and crabs for its living. Crabbing is the 
poor man’s business. Here at Hooper’s Island 
we saw the wastefulness of the people at its 
worst. The fishermen were dumping 8,000 or 
10,000 dead herring into the sea from their nets 
every day. They couldn’t get ten cents a hun¬ 
dred for them, and commission merchants at 
Bajtimore refused to do more than pay the 
! freight on the cases. 
As remarkable a spectacle as 'the .islands af¬ 
ford is the Walloons, or Northern divers, or 
loons, which are caught in the'pounds. Sim- 
! mons found fifteen of the loons in his net 
pounds one morning, and brought eight to the 
dock. They filled the air with lamentations, 
md a more doleful sound one never heard. It 
was the loon laughter with the laugh left out. 
They fought among themselves, and struck 
ihrough the crates at any one who approached, 
i As a speculation, one of the captains sent 
hem to Baltimore to a commission merchant, 
iut they were returned next day but one, and 
n the meantime six had died, and one was 
blind, doubtless because of blows from the 
sills of its fellows. 
The loons were on their way north. They 
pere always alone, keeping far from their kind, 
no far as I saw, with one exception. This was 
.vhen three of the birds were within a few rods 
)f each other. As we coasted down the Honga 
oward Hooper’s Straits,' we saw loons, each 
pird having a square mile to himself, appar¬ 
ently. Now and then one called, but not 
often, nor with the cheerful “yowling” one 
sears on a mountain lake. Unlike the gulls, 
vhich we saw in great flocks, the loons made 
heir flight northward alone—and ye't they 
were not out of sight of their kind. They were 
.ill going north at the same time, but far 
enough apart so as not to be crowded. 
We left Hooper’s Island on April 16, and 
ruised away southward. We stopped at 
dooper’s Straits lighthouse, and passed on 
'own to Deal’s Island. At the dock we found 
he fishermen in a state of mind. Some thief 
vas stealing shad from the pounds. An ex¬ 
pedition was going to start out that night, and 
■ had come just in time to go with the pirate
