been in our ears for some time,
but when Capt. Noah Hazard, Of
Galesville, Md, telephoned
Sunday evening that the big
catches were coming in, why we
told him we would be down the
next day. Contracting Milton
Gordon we were off to our sail
ing port. The flag Of hope was
run up and Captain Hazard
showed off to Eastern Bay. A
stiff wind was heading from the
south and as we reached the
opposite shore great billowS,
with foamy caps, greeted us as
we rounded Bloody Point Light.
We trolled blindly for three
hours with but one strike. Cap
tain Noah suggested hardhead-

where we picked up q dozen or

the flag of hope was at half
staff, for the wind was ripping
the water wide open. AS the
sun went down we showed OH
honeward across the bay with
this thought in mind, we
should have been here yester'
day"
