Excerpt from Maryland Historical Magazine, Vol. 2 Mr. Shriver placed the fish in a perforated tin bucket made to pass through the openings, or man-holes, of the water tanks which were constantly supplied with fresh water. Fish of small size, but fresh and active, were placed in the bucket, and aecom panying his precious charges on each of several trips, Mr. Shriver placed them in fine order in the canal basin at Cumberland, from whence they could pass up or down the river. This privilege, it will appear, the fish of at least one species availed themselves of extensively. Mr. Shriver with commendable perseverance transferred five kinds of fine game fish (about twelve of each kind) into the Potomac during the autumn of 1854, making six trips on the railroad.
