Cape May and Tuckerton were started and maintained by whaling; and as late as 1830, it is said, there were still signs of the industry on Long Beach. Except for the whaling, the beaches were uninhabited wild stretches of sand, swarming with birds and wild fowl, without a lighthouse or lifesaving station.
As they should be rated as third-class freight on railroads, it is more economical for the amateur to purchase a first-class boat at Barnegat, Manahawken, or West Creek, in Ocean County, New Jersey, along the Tuckerton Railroad, than to have a workman elsewhere, and one unacquainted with this peculiar model, experiment upon its construction at the purchaser's cost, and perhaps loss.
They forgot to give you some important mail stuff when you rode out to the stage a while ago. The stage has come on into Tuckerton now, and the driver sent me on to see if I could catch you. He wants you to ride back into town, if you will, and get the stuff he forgot to give you." "Why didn't he let you bring it?" asked Jack, not much relishing the ride back.
Because there was so much bitterness and rivalry between the officials of the two concerns, the Government stepped in and informed the Overseas News Agency that it could send only "political news," while the Trans-ocean was authorised to send "economic and social news" via Sayville and Tuckerton. This news, however, was not solely for the United States.
"Can any one get one?" inquired Walter. "Certainly, if he has the price," smiled the older brother. "I guess you do not need one, though. A local call book would answer most purposes. It would hardly be necessary for you to call any foreign offices, and I even doubt if you would need to summon Sayville, Tuckerton, New Brunswick, Marion, or Annapolis."
But it just occurred to me that I am hungry, and there's an eating place in Tuckerton, isn't there?" "Yes," answered Harry. "But it isn't a very good one." "Oh, well, when a man's hungry he can't be too particular. I guess I can stand it." The three rode back together, and in a short time had reached the small town.
Pearl Harbor, for instance, has a 13,000 wave length; Cavite 12,000; Sayville, 11,600; Tuckerton, owned by a French company, about 8,700; New Brunswick, New Jersey, 13,600; Marion, Massachusetts, 14,400; and Annapolis, 17,600. Only a few foreign stations can match these in range. There are many, however, that vary from 7,000 to 4,000 and can transmit messages by relaying them."
'Crabs would be scarce this season; and couldn't we come down? The larks were beginning to rise in the marshes." Jane nodded thoughtfully: "A Tuckerton skiff? Now, I'm surprised at that, father. I should prefer something heavier a yawl, say for coming in on that beach. Well The wind must be dead sou'-west to-day. It would bring the spray right up into your face if you were lying on the sand."
"I mean that I saw in the paper this morning that there was a school of black-fish on the coast, the largest for years. I suppose the Lantrims will be out for them?" "No doubt. The old captain wrote to me that he had bought Sutphen's Tuckerton skiff." "Aha? You did not tell me that. What else did he say?" "Oh, nothing.
Jim Hickey, you lead one bunch over the Tuckerton trail, and I'll head another on the road to Rainbow Ridge. But most likely the fellow will take to the mountains and hide out for a spell." "He won't be very likely to go to Rainbow Ridge," said Jack. "Why not?" "Because he's got a valuable package of letters and mining documents addressed to Mr. Argent of that place. He wouldn't go there."
