regretting that the time is drawing
near for the opening of school which
necessitates the moving home OF the
summer residents. The grown-ups as
we'll as the children leave the sand

September is usually a good month
at the shore and it would not be

There are fish stories and fish
stories and one usually has to take
them with a grain of salt but when
friends that you know, are telling
YOU the story, it ceases to be the us
ual kind of fish story and you listen
with interest. On Wednesday OF last
week Albert Archer and his grand
son, Charles Hackenburg left early
in the morning for the hshlng
grounds or shad stakes north of 'he
beach. They were Joined later py
Robert Reed, son of G. T. Reed. The
fish were not biting very good but
patience is always rewarded aho
soon Charles had what he supposed
was a big fish of some description
on his line. 1t was. A shark ABOUT
five feet long and weighing, at a
guess, about hundred pounds, lad
the hook in his mouth. Charles,
who is studying all species of ami
NAL life, hoped to land this one ana
benefit from the close inspection, but
it was not to be. After playing with
it with the idea of tiring it out, they
let the shark "have his head" and
he towed the Archer boat and the
Reed boat for miles down the pay TO
the coral beds and at last got away.
The fight was on for four hours ana
fifty minutes. That's good one
but it's true.
