Many cOttagers are enjoying the
cooling September breezes at Broad

catches Of large trout and hard
heads are being made. Seine fishing
is not so good as a few weeks ago,
the fish seem to have deserted the
shore for deeper water. CLANS are
being taken in large numbers from
the OUTER bar and the menu Of the
cottagers include clam ehOwder, J
tasty trout and crabs. Many declare
that September is the best and most
enjoyable days OF the summer at
Broadkiln Beach. The fine road con- 4
