Local Crabbers
Lose Traps To
Moving Ice
D
The local crab industry suffer
ed a setback due to the recent
southeasterly gales.
Rev. Lewis Hudgins of the
Nazarene Church, who is trying
to help the natives establish local
industries, has been experiment
ing with crab traps and shrimp
pots. Several local people have
followed suit and it is estimated
that about 16 traps were in op
eration on a profitable basis at
the time of the storm.
Movement of the ice pack has
changed the position of the traps
and owners started yesterday to
look for them.
Rev. Hudgins stated that the
traps moved westward an esti
mated two miles. It was found
that the traps are now in the
loose ice where it is unsafe to
travel and from all indications
they will not be recovered unless
the conditions change.
Rev. Hudgins and James Savok
had seven traps, John Norbert
had one, Eli Mulch had one, and
Ralph Olanna had one. There may
have been others but they have
not been reported.
The Hudgins traps had netted
from 3 to 51 crabs per weeks,
averaging about 10 crabs per
trap per week. They released each
' time they cleaned the traps, from
10 to 20 too-small crabs.
Another industry which Rev.
Hudgins has been working on has
I been that of raising rabbits. It
| has been found that the meat o*f
locally-raised rabbits is excellent
arid the fur of high quality.
