A few years ago an extremely
;rteresting Indian feast mound
mss found neal Carolina Beach.
II created a sensation and it's ex-
nloration by archaeologists result
ID in several interesting finds.
NM comes the report of two like
finds on Bald Head island and a
number Of others along the coast
If Brunswick. DR.. Robert Wau-
cboue. archaeologist of the Uni
yprstv Of North Carolina and Har-
~ Davis, director of the State Mu-
slena at Raleigh, have recently
zone over these mounds and are
now making plans to explore them
when the first touch of winter
comes to lessen the fly nuisance.
Such mounds are valuable in that
thew reveal much regarding the
hunting and fishing methods of the
Indians.
All along the lower North Caro-
lima coast fishermen are now max
ing preparations for the September
runs Of mullets and spots. Big roe
mullets will shortly be in order.
Visitors to the coast and who are
not in on things should not take
: alarm at seeing men walking up
and down the beaches, gazing in
tently out to sea. They are only
on the lookout for schools of null
lets or spots, and if the spectator
will only wait until these schools
are located he will be treated to
an interesting sight.
While they may keep fish from
lifting for a very short time, hur-
ricanes that pass up the coast to
the east of us are short lived in
their effect upon sport fishing here.
On the other hand, when a hurri-
cane strikes below this part of the
coast the fishing may be rotten
for a week or longer thereafter.
The explanation is the northward
flowing gulf stream. Moss and sea-
weed, torn up from the bottom of
the ocean are carried along by the
stream for several hundred miles,
creating a muddy condition that
apparently discourages game fish
from biting.
Yacht Stop
Lieut.. Col. George Gillette has
written officials of the American
Power Boat association offering all
cooperation from his office for a
contemplated power boat cruise
Gown the waterway from Larch-
mont to Miami, in October. Off
Gals Of Yachting Magazine are en-
aeaVoring to arrange for an over
ufne stop at Southport for dedica'
uon ceremonies for the new yacht
uaslh, and possibly a gulf stream
lsnlng tournament. The cruise
Will be a supervised one and it is
expected that more than a hun.
urea power boats will participate
in it.
