Texans,Viets war over crabs
Wgr v
J
United Press International
SEADRIFT — Cool breezes blow
from the north now. Weeks have
passed since native fishermen and
Vietnamese refugees were white hot
with rage in the cultural “crab war.”
During the last few weeks, the
Vietnamese men, fewer than be
fore, noisily motor their small boats
from the dock at sunup to run crab
pots, and their wives and daughters
drive to work at a crab-packing plant
in town just as they did before a kill
ing ignited tempers at dusk on Fri
day, Aug. 3.
A witness said crabber Billy Joe
Aplin, 35, cut Sau Van Nguyen
across the chest with a knife as the
two argued loudly on a dock min
utes before Aplin was shot and
killed. Nguyen, 21, was charged in
the slaying.
Starting that night and lasting for
48 hours, firebombings in what
came to be called the “crab war”
burned Vietnamese property and
drove away the approximately 100
refugees from the village they
drifted into beginning in 1976.
Now, about 60 have returned be
cause of promises that future dis
putes will be mediated and because
of the arrests of some persons con
sidered troublemakers. However,
some natives predict a “war out on
the water” if people decide that all
the talk in the world” cannot solve
the culture differences between the
villagers and Vietnamese.
“The native (Texas) fishermen still
get mad and talk about legislation to
limit the influx of Vietnamese, ” said
the Rev. Don Gallagher of the First
Baptist Church. ‘Our grievance
committee is somewhat of a cushion
where people can come to air their
problems.”
Gallagher, four Vietnamese and
four native Seadrifters on the com
mittee have scheduled a seminar
next month at which Vietnamese
will hear from a state fishing offeial
about fishing laws and from the
townspeople about unwritten cus
toms.
According to the native crabbers,
the Vietnamese poached in the
bountiful crabbing spots of San An
tonio Bay, set down crab pots closer
than 100 feet to those of competitors
and stole crabs.
“The Vietnamese did disrupt
things, just like any new competitor
would,” said Mrs. Verlon Davis,
bookkeeper for the Bo Brooks of
Texas Inc. crab-packing plant. That
plant bought crabs from fishermen
on both sides of the dispute until it
closed one week after the
Vietnamese fled.
“It was just a few young troub
lemakers on both sides,” she said.
Three men were arrested during
the week after the shooting and
charged with possession of an ex
plosive device. Since then, Calhoun
County sheriff’s investigator John
Sexton said there has been no vio
lence.
“It’s been pretty quiet,” said Sex
ton.
He acknowledged, however,
there were a few people who still
felt like one 23-year-old commercial
fisherman.
“When nobody’s watching,
there’s going to be a war out on the
water,” the fisherman had said.
Davis, a committee member,
said: “I’m not sure all the talk in the
world will work. It’s going to be
hard.”
Gallager said it was difficult to de
termine whether the Vietnamese
were interested in learning Ameri
can fishing customs.
“The Vietnamese will say some
things that they feel like you want to
hear,” he said. “It’s hard to say what
they really feel. What they say is,
‘Yes, we’d like to do this.”’
Sexton said attorneys for Nguyen,
21, and his brother, Chinh Van
Nguyen, 20, charged as an ac
complice, will try to have their trial
moved from the area.
