The Ii lack Fleh Banks.
We have Just had a charming trip.
Mr. Editor, to the Black Fish Banks,
which lie out to the ocean ten miles
from shore, and a few miles south of
the great Port Hoyal Inlet. Last faM,
two or three of us from Sumter, in?
cluding Purdy and Burns together
with several Beaufort friends, at?
tempted the same trip on a sailing
craft; but contrary winds and a
tempestuous sea drove us back before
we reached the happy fishing ground.
The chief incident of that trip was
the sea-slcknes:* of the Sumter con?
tingent. It was a sight not to be de?
sired, to 'ook upon the grave and rev?
erend fishermen throwing up every?
thing, including good name and rep
fgpatlon, together with socks and
patches fajm their pants. Governor
Vance said, w hen he crossed the
ocean once, he threw up his seat In
congress. All this and more hap?
pened on that November cruise. A
clerical friend of mine lay apparently
dead on the deck, with sea water and
bilge water streaming about him, to
all of which ha gave no heed, and
seemed not to care. Sea-sickness re?
gards neither caste nor character. It
makes the tall, the proud, the rev?
erend head as low as the deck will
admit. It compels one to disregard
and violate all proprieties and hold In
contempt every rule of etiquette. The
sense of awful Internal misgiving
generates a llvaly dlsgu?t for every?
thing beneath the rolling skies, In?
cluding home, friends, kindred and
food, and the only surviving source
of satisfaction Is to He with closed
eyes and shut mouth, cherishing the
feeble hope that the world will come
to an end within the next half hour.
And yet within an hour after the ship
stops and the foot strikes the shore, a
man laughs at his own sickness and
makes sport of the fact that he has
been lying In bilge water on the
deck.
On the last trip, being distrustful
of a sailing vessel, and resaesneering
that we failed to reach the banks on ;
a former occasion, we hired a steam '
tug. ajid set out at S.SO a. m~ By 7.40
we were on the bosom of the deep
outside the bar and two of eur party
were enjoying very poor heafstt, with
heads hung far out over the gunwale ?
of the vessel, and a storm of apheav- ,
Ing disturbance raging wltftan* We ;
had a breakfast aboard of bacon and j
eggs, homtny and coffee, prepared- by !
the steward of the tug. Severn out of
nine of us partook freely, and were
endowed with sufficient gift of reten?
tion to keep* what we had eeaasn By
8. SO. three hours after starting, we '
cams to the hanks, and then the sport '
began. A half bushel of shrimps, ,
caught the evening before, and pre?
served In Ice. were divided Bearing us
In woodsn hatter dishes, suenr as are ,
used by the merchants who sell but?
ter. The water Is about forty feet .
deep, and almost a half pound*of lead
Is necessary to sink the line rapidly.
Above the lead, fastened to short
cords, two hooks are attached, so that ,
the pull of the fishes agahsst the
hand and not' against the had. The
black fish seemed to be all at home I
when we sailed. Scarcely did the lead
ever touch bottom before one felt the fl
pu 1 of the fish, and as often as oth- I
erwlse, tbe fisherman found, on pull-1
lug In his line, thst each hook had a 1
fish. Time after iXmXX however, the
fhth adroitly stole away with the bait
wfthout being snared by the I hook,
and then came the long; lift upwards
In order to renew the bait. Pulling
the line up through the fingers, which
were kept wet and soft by the salt
water, made '.he hand sore, arid in
addition to this was an occasional
sting from the fin of the Ash, so that
after three hours of combined work
and sport we were willing to discon?
tinue the operation. In order to pre?
serve our catch, we had carried Ice.
Of the fish large enough for table
use. we packed away 346 In a barrel
with crushed Ida, In addition to these
we had 40 or more fried or cooked
into a great pot of chowder. The
four boat hands had a separate pile
of over 20 fish, so that our total catch
was about 600?most of them being
black Ash, though there were a few
skipjacks, pcrgils and sheephead. At
2.30, dinner was announced, and while
we were eating, thegshlp began her
return trip to Beaufort. The sea was
on g??d beh;tvlor all day. Nothing
but the ordinary swell?the everlast?
ing ?Unk and fall of the water-*?the
breathing of tke deep?gave motion
10 the boat. A wind from the south?
east fanned our faces and kept us cool,
and the two who got sick did ?*o all
because thev were not ser?,-worthy.
One of them admitted that even In
his bath-tub he had to keep quiet lest
this mal de mar come upon him. Be?
cause of this, he admitted, he did not
bathe as frequently as he should. I
have some doubts as to his truthful?
ness about the sickness, though what
he soys about Infrequent bathing may
be true. It Is true with some persons.
We have unother trip In view? Ihtl
time with a seine, and If It turns'out
to be a suce?.?:. I'll report It for the
Uta* Why Home one with a little
money does not establish a fishery
and a market In Ueaufort, I do no'
know. I am sure there is no coast
line in our state where opportunities
are more abundant than here.

Tribute to Dr. Gill Wylle.
The friends of Dr. W. Gill Wylle of
New York Will be Interested in the
following which appear.-* in the August
issue of The Broadway Magazine un?
der the heading, "The Originator of
Hospital Sanitation:"
"Thirty years ago when physicians
first talked of material law for the
government of public hospitals, the
usual coterie of scoffers that every In?
novation brings forth found a conspic?
uous victim in a young doctor who
was advocating startingly systematic
and arbitrary regulation of hospitals.
The young physician who fought for
his ideas on sanitation at the time
was Dr. Wa'ter GUI Wylie, of New
York specialist on abdominal surgery.
His fight has been successful, too.
Today If you have occasion to visit
the hospitals of our larger cities, you
cannot help but feel that you are in
the grip of a system, as arbitrary as
It Is comprehensive, which is no re
spector of persons. It is the syjrtem
of sanitation. The phenomenal de?
crease In hospital deaths Is the result
of its rigid enforcement. Dr. Wylle Is
an expert in the science of sanitary
engineering, and evidences of his pe?
culiar talent can be seen in almost
every big hospital of the country. He
has devised hospital systems, and his
essays on the subject of hospital or?
ganization have been read by hospital
superintendents all' over the world.
As an important part of his system
of sanitation, Dr. Wylle has built up
a chain of training schools for nurses.
In New York Dr. Wylle took a lead
in part in organizing the Bellevue
Training schools, and v ever since its
establishment in 1173 has been its
I leading spirit. Abdbmlnal surgery
'has been successfulr> practised only
during the last generation, yet Dr.
Wylle has taken cases rejected by
I other surgeons as impossible of cure
and turned out sound men In 06 out
of 100 cases. Of course, such prac?
tice has netted him a handsome for?
tune. He Is said to be worth close to
a nrfflfon dollars, while Hi? income
I
per year Is estimated to uV not less
than 160,000.
"Dr. Wylle Is a Southerner, As a
boy* ho attended a villager school In
Chester county, South CaroHfns, until
his ICtfr year, when he < rrr?red the
arr#r of the Confederacy with the
rank of lieutenant He has1 been es?

An Honest Confrswton.
Some two years' ?vgo, speaking of a
particularly muAfero?s mob demon?

?a Southern community- in spirit and
