TENNESSEAN GETS
TORTUCAS KIN G

After a trip to Tortugas on the
Talofa this week, j. C. Foreman
of Hartman, Tennessee was inn
pressed with the fact that he
didn't stay long enough"
Fishing was great for Foreman.
AS the Talofa was nearing the
Tortugas dock he smacked into a
big fish with a 9 ounce tip rod.
Fighting him all the way into the
dock, Foreman brought up a four
foot kingfish, weighing SO pounds.
Another friend, ]. D. Christmas
in trolling after the group were
there brought in 20 pound bar
racuda. Twelve varieties were
landed by the fishermen in Log
gerhead waters, including cero
mackerel and Spanish mackerel.
The Spanish mackerel was fried
last night in restaurant here
and much enjoyed.
Foreman was particularly i'm
pressed with the circular stair
way in the old Fort and with the
ancient water system. This wa
ter system filters through sand
and down pipes into wells for
permanent supply. Thus the wa
ter was kept pure. DR.. Mudd's
cell was an interesting spot to
visit.

JAMES CHILDREN
NOW IMPROVING

Mrs. Thomas James is In re-
ceipt of letter from her daugh-
tiers, Misses Josephine and Gwen
doiyn, who are students at Flor
ida State College for Women at,
Tallahassee, advising that they
are both confined to their rooms
with intestinal flu.
Miss Josephine wrote the letter
explaining that her sister was too
i'll to write but they were both
on the recovery list and the let
ter was written so as Mrs. James
would have no cause for worry.
A number of state papers have
carried the story and in some pa
pers the illness was described as
epidemic" and one of the pc
riodicals announced that it was
ptomaine poisoning. The letter
from Miss James contradicts that
statement.

WINTER VISITOR
MUCH ENTHUSED
]. J. COLLISTER CLAIMS HE
LIKES KEY WEST BEST
OF ALL

J. j. ColliSter, retired former
assistant traffic manager of the
Universal Atlas Cement Co, a
subsidiary of the United States
Steel Corporation, is a visitor in
Key West. Mr.. ColliSter has spent
several winters in Florida, but
says Key West is his choice.
Writing to Dear Friends in
the Frozen North" Mr. Colllster
shows that the fact of meeting SO
many good friends upon his ar
rival last month kept me from
leaving the island the day of my
arrival, which was fortunate, be
cause Key West has, figuratively,
put the finger on me-.
The letter of Mr.. COlliSter con-
tinues with an intimate descrip-
ton of the city and its many at
fractions including the many
tropical fruits growing in the
city, trees of many descriptions,
and specially mentions those
which are of notable characters
tics, such as the sausage, bou-
gainvilleas, poincianas, and avo-
cado pears.
Here is the fiSherman's heaven,
writes Mr.. Collister and describes
his fight with a sailfish, which he
brought nearly to the boat after
a struggle which lasted more
than half hour, and which broke
the line and cleft me a trembling
wreck" This was but one of
more than six hundred varieties
which are waiting for the
angler"
The letter is one of the most
interesting which has been writ
ten from Key West during the
season, and evidences the truth
of the statement made by thou
sands of visitors, "at first ! did
not care so much for the city, but
after few days it got me, and
now / really do not want to
leave"

but pitch used to seal them. Even
the cabin housing decking has
been filled in this way. Canvas
cannot be used because of the
workboat features of the schoon-
er. Railing is at present being
laid. This requires careful fit
ting to follow the curves of the
boat. Hatches on are the main
cabin, the engine room, the cable
hatch and the fo'castle.
Interesting are the rudder and
mast grooves. The mast is let
down seven feet to the keelson.
There a block of wood receives
it in a tongue and groove affair.
This is to seat it properly and
not allow it to slip. The rudder
post, which will be of wood, is
let down through a polished
round post At the lower end of
the rudder post there will be
protrusien which will not allow
it to come up from the force of
the seas. The rudder itself viii
also be of wood.
The schooner should be COM
pletely outfitted by March.

HEMINGWAY SHIPMATES PLAN CRUISE
Maybe Cuba, South America; Sloop Here Three Years
SOUTH; WHERE! WHEREVER WIND BLOWS

They stayed two weeks, fishing
and harpoonnig sting-rays. The
happening was the most sport
a giant ray puts up good fight.
Now they are back in Key
West, QUILTING for a longer
cruise. Water shortage was the
biggest problem until now. A
fifty-five gallon barrel dashed in
the hold will keep them in water
until they are ready to return.
The destination is undetermined,
depending on the winds. Maybe
Cuba, maybe South. America!
The sloop is named the Aquila
de Orc. She is thirty tour feet
in length over all, with a draft
of four feet. Built for the inter
coastal banana trade in Cuba, her
hull was designed for speed and
durability. The framing is of
hard, native wood, all natural
crooks. Below the water line,
she is planked with mahogany.
When Les Hemingway bought it.,
the boat had just been complet-
ed. He covered the open cargo
hold with a low cabin and built
in hunks and a galley. The sloop
rides low in the water, and is UNI
usually fast for. boat her size.
Although there is a motor mount
ing in the boat, young Heming-
way has preferred to keep the
sloop motorless, depending en-
tirely on the wind for power.

A sloop has been lying in Key
West harbor for the past three
years. She is a strange craft,
and doesn't look like a Key West
boat. In fact, she isn't. The
sloop was built in Puerto Padre,
Cuba-by a Spaniard named
Juan Cortez y Pan. Juan sold
the sloop to Lester Hemingway,
brother of Ernest Hemingway,
who was looking for just such "a
boat. Young Hemingway and his
shipmate, Jake Klimo, sailed her
back to Key West, stripped her
sails, unstepped the mast and,
leaving the boat, headed north.
They planned to return within
the year, but it was almost three
years before either did. Les
Hemingway, his wife and small
son returned last summer, re-
rugged the sloop and cruiSed to
Tortugas. Once more they head
ed north, leaving the sloop at an
Choir in Key West harbor.
Last Christmas, Jake Klimo ar
rived in Key West with a new
shipmate, Fred Mitchell, of New
Providence, Iowa. They hauled
the sloop on a marine ways and
prepared for cruise. The iron
ballast was Clipped and red-lead-
ed, all the running rigging re-
newed, and after two weeks
work, they headed out Northwest
Channel for the Marquesas Keys.
