Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1906-08-15

AS if anticipating the August rush 10
this place, the past week there has
been school of twenty porpoises ca
vorting up and down the coast at times
scarcely over 300 feet from the beach.
These playful fellows make the eyes OF
visitors grow big with excitement as
they hurl their thousand pounds OF
weight up in the air, describing grace
full arc and then plunge back into the
deep. They travel along in Indian
fashion for time, then they will bunch
up with heads together and make the
foam fly. Several times each day
these great fish travel along the coast
from the Delaware capes to Hereford
Inlet and seem mildly curious as to the
boats and people. They are harmless
and beautiful and interesting attrac-
ton to the place.
