LONDON "TOSHERS."
They Explore the Sewers In Search of
Articles of Value.
Shoremen or shore workers they
sometimes call themselves, but
their most familiar .appellation is
'toshers' and the articles they
pick up "tosh."
They really belong to another
well known class, the mudlarks, but
consider Ifhemselves a grade or two
aboe these latter, for the genuine
tos"her does not confine himself, as,
they do, to traveling through the
Thames mud and picking up odd
pieces of coal or wood, copper, nailsj
bolts, iron and old rope. The tosh
er, when the coast is clear of the
police, makes his way into the sew
ers and will venture sometimes for
miles in quest of valuables that oc
sionally find their way into them
by way of the kitchen sink or the
street grating.
When about to enter the Eewera
these men provide themselves with
a pole seven or eight feet long, on
one end of which there is a "large
iron hoe, a bag carried on the back,
a canvas apron tied around them
and a dark lantern similar to a, po
liceman's. This they strap on their
light Breast, so that while walking
upright through the large sewers
the light ia thrown straight in front.
When they come to the branch sew
ers and have to Btoop the light ia
thrown directly at their feet. As
they make their way they use their
hoe in the mud at their feet and in
the crevices of the brickwork, and
occasional shillings and silver
spoons find a temporary resting
place in the bag at their back or in
their capacious coat pockets.
The toshers generally go in gangs
of three or four, both for the sake
of company and to be able to de
fend themselves from the rats with
which the sewers swarm. When
they come near a street grating
they close their lanterns and watch
an opportunity to slip past unno
ticed, for otherwise a crowd of peo
ple mifiht soon collect at the grat
ing whose presence would put the
police on the alert. They find great
Quantities of money,-, copper money
especially, in the crevices of the
brickwork a little below the grating
and not infrequently shillings, half
crowns and sixpences, with an oc
casional sovereign or half sovereign.
When "in. luck" they find many
articles of plate, spoons, ladles, sil
ver handled knives and forks, mugs
and drinking cups and now and then
articles of jewelry. They general
ly also manage to fill their bags
with the more .'bulky articles found
in their search, such aa old metal,
bones and 'ropes. These they dis
pose of to the marine store dealers
and rag and bone men and- divide
the proceeds, along with the coins
found, among the different mem
bers of the gang. At one time the
jegular toshers used each to earn
Irom 30 shillings to 2 a-weekbut.
with the construction of new sewers,
grated at the mouth, their industry -i
is not so easily exercised and is
consequently much less. profitable.
