FISH PACK new INLET
OF S|NEPUXENT BAY
New Channel Cut by Storm Worth
Millions to Worcester County,
Maryland.

Baltimore, April l2-Members of the
State Conservation Commission have been
watching development in a new seafish in
dustry in Sinepuxent Bay since the storm
broke an inlet through the strip of land
Just below Ocean City recently.
Reports say that deep-sea fish, hitherto
unheard of in the bay, are being caught
in large quantities. The fisheries industry
it is reported. has been completely revol,i-
tionized. Instead of being Obliged to go
out three or four miles, fishermen throw
their seines across any part OF the channel
of the bay and. the inlet and haul in deep
sea fish by the wholesale.
''If the inlet remains, said J. Edward
White, member of the Conservation
Commission and a resident of Worcester
county. sit will be worth millions of dol
lars to Worcester county. II was an act
OF nature. but it was the biggest job ever
put across in one night II did exactly

years ago at an enormous expense, and

the inlet will be permanent, for there is a
long bar that extends far out into the
ocean that will protect it.
Mr.. White says that he expects resi-
dents OF Ocean City and that section 10

which heretofore has never been known
above Box Iron, far south of Ocean City.
The inlet has widened to 200 yards in
some places and it is reported TO be 20
feet deep. Boats that formerly had to
be reached in high surf now glide into the
bay with little difficulty.

the fire department on a run Monday
marning about half past eleven. The
blaze was located in the walls of the
house on the south side above the sec

been bad fire. The fire had its orr
gin around an iron collar that acted
as protection for pipe leading
from the room below to a drum in
the bedroom and thence to the chin
ney. The fire ignited the studding and
crept along the joists to the walls
where it found draft and went up
