HibernatfOn of Boil Weeyfls.

1t has been often noticed that in a
wooded country boil weevis appear
first in spring along the borders of
fields next to the woods and gradually
work inward from the edges, so that it
seems probable that in wooded coun-
try most of them hibernate in wood
land. Around outbuildings and barns
also are found favorable places. as
there are always more or less rubbish
and protection in such situations. In
1903 more than five times as many wee
wills were found in a piece of cotton
near the Texas State College barn,
where cotton had been grown the pre-
vious year, than were found in any
other locality in that neighborhood 1t
is also noticeable that weevils are al
ways more numerous near gins than at
distance from them. Unfortunately,
where much rubbish and grass are
present and where the soil remains
loose and is not packed by rains, large
numbers of the weevils winter In the
cotton fields.

Boat Building and Builders,

This article would be incomplete if
1t did not make mention of those who
have built the boats we have referred
to and pictured. Boat building was,
of course, one of the early industries
upon the bay. AS boats were the
means by which the bay people NOV
ed about from place to place, and
often secured their sustenance there
by, one of the first things TO be built
upon their locating upon these shores
was their boat. Early settlers built
their own boats. Later, men who had
a more perfect knowledge of boat
building moved here and they were
employed at this work. Old Joe
Masselena, who was also a fisherman,
used to build boats at his place on
the east side of the bayou opposite
Panama City.
With the st Andrews Bay boom be-
ginning in 1856, there came an immi-
grafton of northern people to the
bay, some of whom were carpenters,
who soon began the business of boat
building. Many good sailing boats
and small boats were made by
"Hawk" Masselena, who probably
inherited the boat building instinct
from his father. He is credited with
the Leonard, j. Rogers, and other
we'll known boats. The Parkers on
East Bay also built quite number
of boats, principally for the purpos
of carrying on their fish business.
In another part of this paper will be
found an account of the boats built
by Captain S. W. Anderson. Capt
F. II. Ware has also done something
Panama City pilot. (Panama City, Washington County, Fla.) 1907-19??, 1908-04-16

have been built, and the success of
those engaged in the fishing business
in launches propelled by gasoline,
and those having an engine to aid
the sails, point to the probability of
there being many more of these
large auxiliary launches constructed
IN the near future. Sail boats have
had their day so far as general use is
concerned, having been supplanted
by the launches, but enough remain
to make beautiful pictures upon our
waters, and give pleasure to those
who prefer to master the wind and
waves in that way. The initial pic
ture at the head of this article is of
the Sappho, one of the old time nattv
boats, now owned by Charles
Knowles. 1t is yet in good sailing
trim. AS long as man enjoys moving
over the water, sailing will occupy
no mean place in his estimation, but
for business purposes the sails have
had to give waV to power.

188O-IS9O.

This was the period of the second
st Andrews Bay boom, the first COM
ing in 1S30-1S40. Through the widely
diffused advertising of the st An
drews Bay Railway and Land Com
pany, the bay country became well
known throughout the United States,
and many came and made this sec
ton their future home.
Many boats of this date are still in
service. Among these are The Leon
ard, j. Rogers, Sappho, and others.
The little steamer ST Andrews was
placed upon the bay at this time and
anticipation Of The speedy connection
of the bay with the railway systems
of the South, resulted in muci build
ing being done here, and many boats
were constructed. Nearly every
family owned Il boat, and ,Hat means
of travelling was tn" one versally
used. The Ncttic, and the other
schooncrs, were plying hctN cen st

l86O-1S7O.

This decade covers the war period
during which the Bay country suffer
ed the loss and damage incident to
being within the field Of conflict be-
tween the two forces. At the entrance
of the bay was stationed, from 1861
to the close Of the wal, Federal war
vessels, which were blockading the
harbor, and making trips to various
points about the different bays, de-
stroying salt works, capturing diff
ferent classes of vessels engaged
in blockade running, burning
the boats of the fishermen and
others that were found at various
points along the shores, and destroy
ing Old st Andrews
The Federal vessels engaged in
this work included the steamers
Boomer and Albatross, brig BohiO,
and barks Restless, Pursuit, ROebuck,
Midnight and Wanderer. Possibly
there were others in this bay, but if
so their names are not given in the
reports.
On April 4th, 1862, armed boats
from the blockaders captured the
sloop Lafayette, that had run the
blockade, entered the bay and loaded
with cotton, and was at the time of
capture lying in Crooked island
sound deserted by the crew. The
most important capture reported in
the bay occurred on the following
day, when the Confederate steamer
Florida loaded with cotton, was
captured in North Bay by the same
crews. Various reports show he de-
struction of small boats, large num-
Der having been burned at one time
at Old Town.
In fact during those dark days there
was not boat outside of those con-
nccted with the forces, on one side
or the other, but was destroyed
They were not of large size, but in
many cases they represented the
little all of the poor fisherman or
farmer who owned them. Old st An
drews had been destroyed, as well as
all buildings of value upon the bay.

man having bought another of the
same make. This first engine was
sold by Mr. Parker to j. T. Gwaltney,
who in turn sold it to the German
American Lumber Company, where
it was worn out. The next explosive
engine was in the Lurline, a boat
bought by the Witherill Brothers, at
MinnetOnka, Mimi, which was placed
upon the East Bay mail line. This
boat was afterwards sold TO parties at
PIT Washington. Larger and better
fishing boats were built in this period
and launch building began upon the
bay. Other parts of this paper tell of

19OO-19OS.

These years bring us down to the
near past, and to the boats of the
present day, all of which are named
elsewhere. Within this time the
transportation business has been
placed on a more satisfactory basis
by the steamer Tarpon making regu-
lar trips here, and this has now been
supplemented by the Manteo making
all bay point stops. The J. P. Will
Jams was one of the prominent figures
upon the bay during these years, it
having been taken to Pensacola last
year. The tug Dewey is also entitled
to place here: Larger launches

route between Mobile, Pensacola and
St Andrews. Possibly one was put
in that service just previous to 1890
The Gladys, the first gasoline power
boat on the bay, was brought here in
1891, and Capt Ware soon brought the
Kingfsher, to care for the North Bay
mail route. The first explosive gas
engine was brought in by W. NJ. Gro
man, in 1902. 1t was a Sintz engine,
being the 9TH built by that firm, which
were one of the first firms to build
explosive gasoline engines in the
United States. This engine was sold

on North Bay in the boat building
line. and L. c. Gay, as has been
stated elsewhere, is a well known
and successful boat builder.
To enumerate all who have built
boats upon this bay would almost be
printing a directory of each family
residing here, as nearly all have at
some time or other built a boat
Those engaged in the fish business
have built their sail boats, and seine
boats, and since the advent of
launches some have built their own
launches, having the motor install
ed therein by our machinists.

first fierceness broke upon the bay
the small boats were hauled out, and
larger sail boats securely anchored in
seemingly safe places. There was a
party of young men from Apalachi-
cola in here on a pilot boat, and hav-
ing had their visit started back.
When they reached the pass the sea
looked so ugly that they concluded to
wait for calmer time. They came
back and anchored in the channel op-
posite where Hawk Masselena now
lives. There was an eighty ton
schooner in the bay at this time.
The wind lulled, the sun came out
and the people had a gay time riding
the big waves in the small boats and
bathing in the surf. The barometer
indicated bad weather and SO it pro-
we'd. The bay was in the center of
the cyclone and soon the wind began
again and blew terribly through the
night. The next morning it was
bright and clear; the pilot boat was
laying on its beams, the mastS pro-
iecting into Mr. Simon Bakers yard.
The large schooner was high and dry
nearly to where Mr. Gwaltney'S house
now stands. Her anchor had caught
on stump and stopped her career.
Neither vessel was hurt and the
sleep of the sailors was not entirely
banished for the night. This storm

These years were marked by a few
additions to the population of this
section, more boats were built, and
the fish business began to demand a
class of boats that have come down
to us of this day.
The biographical sketches of Capt
S. w. Anderson, Capt w. G.. Bar
row, and Captains l.. NJ. and F. H.
Ware, give us a few "reminiscences
of the boats of that date, and the
business they were engaged in. There

growth from child, upon this Bay
was Ed Hand. Coming here with his
parents soon after the boom" he
took to the water like all the other
boys, and by 1895 began his career as
a boat builder by building the sail
boat Buckeye. This was very neat
comfortable cruiser 80 feet in length
by 10 feet beam. His next boat was
the Ella for c. Anderson, 80 feet in
length by II feet beam; then came
boat for Mr. Brock, SO feet long and 10
feet beam. Then came the launch
Fay, built for Capt j. II. Anderson,
which was 80 feet long and : feet
beam with a full cabin. The launch
business then began in full force. He
next built one for Capt Farley Gwalt-
ney, 80 feet long by feet beam; one
for Capt $. W. Anderson named the
Eclipse, equipped with an Eclipse
motor: then came the Grace w. %
feet long and feet beam; the Cloe
Moates 20 feet long, and foot beam;
the Myrtle 20 feet long by feet 10
inches beam; the Tina IS feet long
and 4 feet 10 inches beam; launch
with glass cabin 80 feet long by Z feet
beam for G.. l.. Bracken; then the
Annie W., % feet long by feet beam;
the Gem Is feet long and 4 feet 10
inches beam; j. w. Anderson's Cupid,
30 feet long and feet beam; the
GREYHOUND; then a launch for b. F.
Thompson, % feet long and feet
beam. Following that he rebuilt the
FavOrita, belonging to the Ware Mer-
camille Co.; following that by build
ing another launch for B. F. Thomp-
son, 80 feet long by feet inches
beam. The next was a launch for
Capt F. H. Ware, % feet long and
feet beam; one for G. S. Anderson
Is feet long and 5 feet beam; then the
Nancy Lee for Capt Bert Ware, which
was 53 feet long by II feet 6 inches
beam. He then built the Sharp
shooter for Ed Masker, which is %
feet inches long, by feet 10 inches
beam; equipped with an Eclipse
motor; then the Dixie 80 feet long

From the above list it will be seen
that Ed has been a prolific boat

IS9O-l9OO.

This decade had hardly began when
the boom went the way of all such
propositions, and the bay people
began to look about for steamer lines
TO supplement the schOOners, which
were still their sole dependence. 1t
was during this period that the differ
ent steamers were placed upon the
Panama City pilot. (Panama City, Washington County, Fla.) 1907-19??, 1908-04-16

1t was near the close of this period
before those who had been accuStomd
to living upon the bay during the
summer, and those engaged in the
fishing business here, began to re-
cover from the ravages of war. But
slowly the ever enhancing beauties of
the bay and its wealth in fish drew
them here again, and with their re-
turn began the period of boats and
boating that has continued up to the
present time,

of small boats in use upon these
waters. But the whole country
tributary to the bay had suffered the
damages resulting from actual con-
flict, and recuperation was slow.

Some eighteen months ago the
above firm began the construction of
boats at their plant at West End, st
Andrews. They make all kinds of
boats from skiff to the largest launch

have been doing something along the
line of speed launches, the Ruby 231a
