The suggestion was made to secure
the services of the diving crew from
the navy yard to assist in locating
and removing as many as possible of
these stakes. A letter immediatell
was sent to Secretary of the Navy
Wilbur asking that the divers be per
mltted to assist and this request was
granted. Lieut.. Kennedy in charge
of divers at the navy yard, was in
formed through Navy channels to
start his men working at the basin
whenever called upon.

ever without the services of Can't
Deeters and his long drag rope use.

he is down i'll Virginia and cannot b
located.

oe placed in the basin will not star
spawning until May. Glen c. Leach.

their appearance. They come in large
schools, but no bait Is required for
them as they do not bite on hook and
ilne but are caught by snagging. Dur.
ing the latter part of May or the early
part of June the rockfish make their
appearance, ranging from the pan.size
