Marlin Season at Peak
In Waters Off Havana

HAVANA, Aug. 16.-Sport fisher
men visiting Havana are setting
out loaded for. marlin these August
mornings while the big fighting
fish are at the height of their season
in the blue waters of the Gulf of
Mexico. Blue. striped and black
marlin-to many fishermen the
gamest challenge of all-are at their
peak of Havana well into Septem-
Der, according to Co Smith, one
OF Havana's expert fishermen.
The fast-running and spectacular
striped marlin average about 275
pounds.
Game fishing is a year-round
sport in Cuba. Although broadbill
swordflsh are caught in all seasons,
they are particularly plentiful in
the summer months, as are dolphin.
Broadbills average $50 pounds in
Cuban waters and dolphin about Is.
The end of September and early
October will see the beginning of
the wahoo season. Wahoos weigh
ing more than 100 pounds have been
boated in Cuban waters.
Tarpon rate along with white
marlin as an attraction to visiting
fishermen, and can be caught in
any month. Havana Harbor has
plenty of these big silver fighters,
known locally as "sabalo." and the
big ones are to be found lurking
around the fishing schooners. Other
good tarpon grounds are in the
vicinity of Batabano Bay, short
drive across the island from Havana,

were a flashy sight. When they
made a rescue they passed hats
through the crowd, and then with
the proceeds scurried to Mike Doyle's
saloon on the Boardwalk.
Between beer sessions, these heroes
sometimes would stalk up and down
the beach, ready to rescue maidens
in distress, but more often they spent
their time teaching these same fair
maidens how to float.
Kept Bathers Close In.
It's a known fact that not many
people could swim in those days.
Reports nowadays are that the
volunteer lifeguards couldn't swim
much either, and nobody knew it
better than they. To keep from be-
ing shown up, they made bathers
stay close to shore.
When funds went low they would
fake a rescue and pass the hat
through the gathering crowd.
In 1892 the city established the
worlds first paid crew of lifeguards.
1t still is credited with being the
best in the world, and the one after
which all others we're designed.
Since DR.. Charles L. Bossert, chief
surgeon and superintendent of the
lifeguard force, took charge of the
beach patrol in 1918. the medical
staff has treated 285 ,557 emergency
cases; the lifeguards have rescued
33,012 from deep water and only "a
persons have drowned while guards
