 Reading of that punishment hike, reminds us of Corporal Red Moore, an artilleryman from Kim derhook, Arkansas, in the old war. We had Red tanned, groOmed, and willing to weac shoes in no time at all. He became a first rate soldier. When our section was short harness, or horse or two, Red Moore always provided the missing items without drawing any acquisitions. He was a master at the discovery of unattached prop erty, and he only forgot discipline one pay night in the Rhineland when he worked over a former lad from the Prussian Guard who made some slighting remark about the prOwess of American arms. Red battered that sQuarehead nm. til he had to be patched up at the military inflTmaFy, and that brought the matter to the atten- ton of . general. The General gave us orders to turn cut, fuIl- pack, dismOunted, for . three day hike into the mountains.

village nestled on the plateau and seemed to offer certain recreation al possibilities. After mess, Red moore, a cowpuncher from Nebras- ka, and a drugstore cowboy turned soldier from Detroit, accompanied the writer down the road to this town. We found the wine excel- lent. There was a piano in the cafe, and some American sheet music. The guy from Detroit could play, so we just settled back to enjoy the evening. Red sang a few verses, until we threatened to shoot him, and then he crawled back into his shell and realized that he was to blame for our torture.
 The evening wore on, the wine ran out, the Detroit guy hit four keys trying to locate enc, so we headed back toward camp. At the bridge, a sentry ordered us to halt, but we rushed him and tos- sed him into the river. Red Moore sang 8 few more verses, the cOw- puncher swOre because 3 civilian had run off with his wife, and the Detroit lad told about . b0under he was going to kill as soon as he got back to The States. (The man owed him money, it seems).
 All hands tried to locate their pup tents, but every tent was full. We sat around awhile and then Red spotted a light in some brush over on the far side of the island. He sniffed and started off, we followed him. There, in dim call- dle-light, sat four artillerymen playing stud poker. Red joined them and we wandered back to find soft place on the ground to sleep. Come daylight, Corporal Moore returned. his blouse cram med full and his shirt stuffed like a scarecrow. He sat down and started to sort out German marks. The tally reached l8.OOO before chow call blew and Red wasn't halfway through. We hit the road again and Reds pack was twice as heavy but his heart was light.

of the Outer Shoals, shares our
belief it will become the greatest
big game fishing section along the

ever possible.
Tom Eaton, known to all who ever
have visited the Outer Banks as the
Duke of Hatteras, called George
late Friday night to tell him the
marlin we're so thick they were
soaring the chickens in his back
yard and George is seeking ways
to get his cruiser Happy Days down
for another try.
Capt. Ernol Foster, skipper of the
only offshore boat at Hatteras, has
been hooking the big fish, but failing
to land them because his tackle is
too light. Several private cruisers
are having like luck. So we hope
George does make it, for he'll bring
them in if any one can.
North Carolinians, because the
443- pound marlin caught off Miami
Beach last week is being claimed
as a new Atlantic coastal record,
are asking how come when Mar
shall Dana caught one weighing
$685. pounds at Hatteras in July,
1899, a year after Hugo Ruther-
ford caught the present record
holder of 439 pounds.
Claiming a record necesSitates

| fidavits in to the International

ford's marlin is the present record

Bass anglers have fished nearly
every day since mid-July, and from
every indication now there is at
least another full week ahead. Such
a long stretch of fine weather and
clear waters is something few can
remember We would say, stick to
the river fishing so long as it is
possible, for the equinoctial north
easter that hits along about mid
September usually muddies the
river so that fishing is impossible
for many days, even though the
sediment lays more quickly than
in midsummer because the water
is cooler.
From these more than 40 bass
fishing days we gather that old
timers have enjoyed really fine fish,
ing: that newcomers to this area
have found it better than they en-
joyed back home and that the river
runt plugs are the most promising
lure. even though hardly any two
anglers will agree as to the best
color
George Llewellyn swears by the
green body with lighter belly mark
ings. George Fuber wants his runts
in the red and yellow colors, while
Red Finch believes they are more
productive of strikes from catfish.
Others select every color from white
to black and catch equally as many
bass. We find anglers using any
and al plugs, even the jointed sea-
spooks. and catching fish, so it
hardly could be the baits-its just
good year for bass with all the
breaks going to the angler.
Flyrod Offers More Sport.
In fishing fresh waters there are
two types of tackle, the f1yrod and
the baitcasting rod. The use of the
latter has certain limitations, while
the former can be employed equally
we'll for trout, bass and even pike
in this area throughout the winter
1t makes a game fish of the smallest
species, yet it will bring to net 8
and 10 Founders.
Fishing for trout with a fyrod
brings up the age-old question OF
dry or wet files. Many a good wet
fly fisherman has not taken up the
dry fly because of the supposed
mysteries surrounding the art. Fol
the same reason few baitcasting en-
thusiasts have taken up the f1yrod
Those who use both seem to prefer
the f1yrod. We believe it offers
more sport.
We agree that the dry fly requires
more care, but the belief that ths
angler also must have a fishing
sense" is not sustained. Any ont
who can fish bait-casting tackle
can learn the flyrod well enough
