For three centuries, almost, this perilous trade has been carried on, and they are fully as daring and even more enterprising now than in the colonial days. Thus Whittier describes them: "Wild are the waves which lash the reefs along St. George's Bank, Cold on the shore of Labrador the fog lies white and dank; Through storm and wave and blinding mist, stout are the hearts which man The fishing-smacks of Marblehead, the sea-boats of Cape Ann. "The cold North light and wintry sun glare on their icy forms Bent grimly o'er their straining lines, or wrestling with the storms; Free as the winds they drive before, rough as the waves they roam, They laugh to scorn the slaver's threat against their rocky home."
