All of the boss carpenters who live
in the place have transportation boats

ties and quite often during the week
they are called upon to take parties
out and especially parties that have
patronized them during the entire sea-
son that they cannot well turn down
or refuse to take them out when, call
ed upon to do so.
This has been a great season here
for all kinds of work and at good
paying work and those who nave not
made good it must have been 1ault

The fishing continues good and the
latest reports are that it is improving

The heavy down pour of rain on
Sunday morning last was a great dis
appointment to the nimrods as many
came on Saturday and in the night
and even on Sunday morning, while
the rain was the heaviest, but they

tiently for the downpour to subside,
which it did about midday, when the
motor boats were called into opera
tion and loaded for the fishing
grounds.
Their success in their afternoon trip
in bringing in the speckled beauties
was very satisfactory, both as TO
numbers and the quality of the tlsh
as the large majority of their catches
were weakies and of extraordinary
size and in addition several good sized
sea bass were caught.
Many of the fans remained over un-
til Monday when they put in the Gay
out in the bay and were well rewarded
in their efforts.
A noticeable feature in the large as
semblage of fans on the last weekend
was the Largest number of automo-
biles from the State of New Jersey.
They were more in evidence at that
time than on any former weekend
during Cne SedSOu.
