Three men in boat" recently hat
p sorry time of it in the Pacific ocean
They were J. w. Williams, James F
> Porter, formerly of the Redman Port
er Hardware Company, of Oskaloosa
and J. d. Owens, of Des Moines. The
men went out for some deep sea fish
, ing near San Diego, and when they
returned were unable to make land
, ing on account of the big waves run
ming at the time. Attempts of the
men to land were noted by the wives
and when they had to put out to sea
again for safety the women became
frantic and appealed to the life savers
for assistance. A police patrol boat
put out for them. The men had
trouble in launching their row boat
az the start and when they returned
in the afternoon the surf was running
high and they had to row Is or 20
miles down the bay around Point Luna
before they could make a landing
Concerning his fishing Mr.. Williams
says in a letter to his brother w. w.
Williams, of Oskaloosa, Il was the
lucky fisherman caught four large sea
bass and other smaller fish. The party
used long lines with heavy lead sink
ers, three hooks to the line and let
down Is to 100 feet or more. Some OF
the fish hooked were of the true deeI
sea variety and when brought to the
surface and relieved of the water pres
sure their eyes would pop out and the
cntrails burst through the flesh when
tn efish was taken from the water
One of the firsh was the prettiest
thing | ever saw. 1t weighed five OF
six ponds and was a beautiful pink
in color" The San Diego newspapers
had a front page story of the advent
ure and the attempt to land followed
by the predicament of the roweTs.
