II. Mckeever and NJ. S. Wright this
week participated in an enjoyable out
ing on Solomons Island, where they
registered at Saunders, and fished with
Capt. Swift.
Branson is especially enthusiastic
over the trip. He has fished at a num-
Der of places this season. he said. and
thinks the water about Solomons is the
most attractive and productive.
Anglers who were at Solomons Is
land for the week end are anxious to
learn the cause of the presence of
thousands of dead fish floating on tho
water. The fish were menhaden or ale-
wives, a fish that is caught in larUe
numbers in order to extract tho oil
from them.
1t is certain they were not poisoned,
said one of the anglers, because other
fish would have been among them Last
year many fish were killed in the lower
Potomac when the water became un-
hot.
