SOUTHPORT, Sept. 5.-Fisher-
man, literally salt-cured from
years of association with the sea,
tonight gathered on the docks and
street n of this little COM
munity at the mouth of the Cape
Fear and told how, earlier in the
week, a pretty brown-eyed, 49,
year old brunette came to town
and showed old-timers a new angle
to offshore sport fishing.
Sometime around $50 a. m. one
day of the past week, Miss Wini-
fred Mae Roberts, of Wrightsville
Beach, the comely brunette refer
red to in the latest fishing con-
versation here, drove into South
port, the tonneau Of her al loaded
with rods, reels, a .30-06 rifle, and
other sporting a praphernalia, and
quietly chartered a boat to take
her offshore.
Asked as TO ner plans, Miss Rob-
erts calmly announced that s h e
was going shark fishing, at the
same time ordering several buck
cts of menhaden to be put aboard
her chartered craft for use as bait.
and paying little, if any, attention
to the amused smiles that her re-
marks brought to the faces of her
male listeners.
Once out to sea the fair angler
lost no time in showing compan-
ions that she meant business. A
size 1870 hook, swiveled to a seven
foot wire leader, was baited with
whole menhaden; promptly tossed
overheard, and trolled some 40
yards behind the slowly moving
boat.
Three miles offshore the first
rush of a shark was felt through
the rod tip. AS yards of line melt
ed from the reel spool into the sea,
crew members looked on in un-
concealed amusement, momentar-
lily expecting the girl to pull one
or more Of the many 'boners"
characteristic of big-game fishing
novices, and thereby lose her
catch.
However, after some Is minutes
of battle, it became evident to on
lockers that the Wrightsville Beach
lass knew something about tn e
handling Of big fish, for the shark
was obviously deeply hooked and
being brought to gaff despite saw
age displays Of power and frequent
dashes towards various points OF
the compass. But when Miss Rob.
erts called upon one Of the party
to take her rod after an additional
short period Of battle, skepics ex.
changed Il told you so" glances
and concluded that the girl was NO
match for her hooked quarry. The
next few moments, however, were
given W. to open-mouthed awe,
for Miss Roberts, free Of the re.
sponsibilities of rod and reel, went
into action with her 80 calibre

rifle, quickly dispatching the fight
ing shark which a tight line had
brought thrashing to the surface
Of the sea. After that it was simply
a matter of gazing and boating
the prize.
In some instances the sharks
fought their way to freedom before
being brought within rifle range,
and in others several misses were
chalked up against the girls
craftsmanship, but when the boat
locked four sizeable sharks had
been boated by the rather unusual
methods described.
Never saw anything like it in
my life," the skipper of the char
tered craft told the writer. why,
when a sudden, summer squat hit
us, and the boat started tossing
some, I expected the girl to get
seasick and quit, but, no, she don
ned oilskins and went right ahead
with her uneven climbed up in
the riggin'".
Strangely, the sharks took the
trolled bait more readily during
the brief, rough spell encountered
than during the earlier hours OF
the five hour trip, when the sea
was calm and it's surface unbroken
by white-caps.
The unusual experience came
about as a result of a report from
W. B. Keziah, secretary of the To-
cal chamber of commerce, that
several big sharks had been sight
ed off Southport recently. 4
