Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-08-16

one of the eighteen guests at the Cor
meny, 12I west Magnolia avenue, sue
ceeded by the aid of his wife in catch
ing a weak fish weighing four and a
half pounds along the Anglesea wharf
on Wednesday last. The fish was two
feet long, and Mrs. Powers helped to
pull 1t up out of its native element.
When you land a fish like that, you've
got something worth while. The Cor
meny patrons are wise. They battle
at night from nine to eleven. No sum
burnt arms and shoulders for them.
Two of this number are Mr.. and Mrs.
Kennedy, of Philadelphia, here on a
two weeks wedding trip. On the same
day that Mr.. Powers caught the weak
fish Mr.. Kennedy hauled up at the
Anglesea wharf q three pound founder.
Score two points for Powers and
Kennedy.
