from the Western side of Wilmington,
who are accustomed to go out along the
Brandywinc and fish all day and bring
nome to their waiting wives about two
perch, inches long, made up their their
minds to pay visit to this historical place
called Barncgat city and stay u while
with the well known Captain at the lighl
hou-g who has welcome for everyone in
search of pleasure. |
They also took their wives to take care
of them, but the ladies became more on.
thusiastic than the gentlemen over fish.
ing, One lady who had not her husband
with her caught about 30 blue fish, very
largo, and when one monster, weighing 8
pounds, got on her line she was heard to
make the remark. "\Wcll my feet have
not been wet for long time, but must
be washed now" So off came shoes and
stockings aud in tho water she and Others
went to their waist.
The fish were so large that it was i'm
possible for them to land them, and OF
course they were too brave to call on the
men. So they put their poles over their
shoulders and ran QUO on the shore, but,
women like their bravery left them and
they had to call on mankind to take them
off the hook. I
In all the party caught 81 bluehsh in
one hours time; but their fun Is about
ended, as their time is up to return home.
Some of the party left for home u few
days ago, and no doubt Wilmington Is
full of fish yarns by this time, but we are
happy to state that they are true yarns.
ONE OF THE HAPPY CROWD. I
