TAKING NEARLY EIGHT
TONS FISH; ONE SET
Crew at Oregon Inlet Catch Five Hun
dred Fish Weighing $4,000
Pounds

Last week marked the biggest ap-
pearance of Red bass at Oregon Inlet
in a number of years. The crew of A.
W. Midget Packing Co. taking 800 fish
at a set. The average weight of these
fish was 80 pounds apiece. Within a
few hours after being caught they had
been steamed and skinned at the Midg-
EFT plant on Roanoke Island and were
sealed and cooked in cans.
The Red bass is commonly known as
the drumfSh and is found usually along
the North Carolina coast from early
Spring until late in. the Fall. They are
beautifully cOlored in red and brown
and the meat is probably the most tasty
of any large fish on the coast. In old
en- times, native fishermen kept a bar
rel salted away in their smokehOuseS
Later it was found more convenient to
buy Boston Goldfish flakes and tins OF
Alaskan salmon. The Red bass is &
greater delicacy than either.
As the value of these fish for foOt
has never been demonstrated very eff
fectively to the public, they bring low
prices and are comparatively little
sought for. The $1,000 pound catcl

COAST GUARD TO HAVE
BETTER BOAT SERVICE
Chadwick Replaces the Carolina as
Supply Boat for 9TH Distric

The purchase of the supply boat
Chadwick by the L. S. Coast Guard for
service between the stations of the
Seventh District will mean the best
service yet for the Coast Guard of this
section. The Chadwick is Go feet long.
II feet wide, has a five-foot depth of
hold and draws less than four feet of
water. This boat has accommodations
for a crew of seven and will carry 60
tons of cargo. She is propelled by q
GO h. p. oil engine.
The Chadwick was built about two
years ago by T. B. Hayman, a local
boatbuilder. At that time building con-
ditions were at the highest peak and
she cost the builder about S11 200. She
was built for Supt. Chadwick, then in
charge of the local Coast Guard Office.
who promised to charter the boat al
$3.50 a month, from the builder, for
service in this district. The boat was
built under the supervision of Capt
Chadwick especially to fit the require
ments of this district, but when it was
completed the war was over and the
Coast Guard failed to use it. Mr.. Hay
man sold the boat this week for ap'
proximately $4,000.
The Chadwick will replace the ole
supply boat Carolina which the service
has outgrown, but of which no dispo
sition has yet been made. The new
boat will be commissioned in few
