he arrived at 1920 last night. and the
annual race Of the oyster boats to the
Ca2:tal was a oone-man walkaway
affair.
However. other boats Of the oyster
fleet are expected in during the next
twelve hours-Captain Herbert in the
Coulbourne. and Captain Ellis In the
Halle X, among them.
This Is Capt. Jim Bailey's first trip as
skipper Of the Lottie l.. Thomas, the
bugeye having been formerly in com
mand Of Capt Matt Bailey. we'll known
as an old-timer along Water street.
Captain Matt. however, as explained by
Captain Jim, has gone into politics and
was too busy electioneering to bring his
craft UP on this trip.

Captain Bailey's cargo. when unload
