did much fishing with John Henry of

which were washed out were of chestnut
There is scarcely any doubt but that the
pier would have stood the violence Of the

properly bolted this would have strength

extent.
However under the leadership of our
president, Hugo Wagner, who has Just
been elected for 1919 and 1920, the mem

be built to stand the pressure Of the old
Atlantic.
There have been taken from this pier
many fish that never would have been
caught from the beach
The lady anglers and youths have been
out in force to enjoy the sport. 1t is fun
to see a dozen men and boys casting over
