SPONGE CREWS
EXPECTING TO
III RESUME WORK
ADVERSE WEATHER APPEARS
IS TO BE ABATING: OPERA
TIVES TO START GATHER
ING PRODUCTS

Within the past few days the
winds over the Keys and Key
West have, shown signs of abate-
ment and held forth the promise
of calm seas which will afford
sponge fishermen the opportunity
of returning to their vessels and
continuing their activities.
For about three weeks the
winds have been holding steadily
and of such force as to make it
practically impossible for the
sponging forces to make any
Roadway toward satisfactory
catch. One of the crew members
said that during the time they
have been out on this cruise, the
captain and crew had~gathered
about 20 punches.
AS a result of the winds and
other uncertain weather ele-
ments, most of the crews have
berthed their vessels at Hog Key
and No Name Key, and come to
the city to await more favorable
weather to go out and continue
their cruises.
Among the last captains, with
members of the crews, to leave
were Captain Cleveland Hall and
Captain Nelson Spencer, who
left Tuesday because of certain
"signs" indicating that the winds
would abate and the weather be
suitable for catching the sponges.
