BALTIMOREANS HAVE A
GOOD FISHING TRIP

The sports fishing season is Off
cially opened at Crisfield, according
to Captain G. Clifton Charnock, who
took out a party of Baltimoreans last
week and gifted the lid off" Tangier
Sound with a great deal of success.
The party, which was conveyed to
the fishing grounds by Captains Char
mock in the "Swanee," included Les
Inge, Jet Inge, Buck Grace, Ed Stub
bins, C. M. Waterman and AL Harvey.
There didn't seem to be much vari-
ETY. in the fish caught since the catch
totaled 1876 hardheads, but the fisher
men had an enjoyable day and rivalry
as to who would catch the largest
fish was keen.
The greatest bit of rivalry sprung
up between Les Inge and G. M. Wild
erman, who seemed to excel in bring
ing up the big fish, but finally Mr..
Waterman tok honors for the day
with a three-pound hardhead.
The only one with regrets was Ed
Stubbins who would easily have been
the champion had he been able to land
the two drum fish which swan away
with most of his line during the day.

WIFE AIR MAIL
CARRIERS IN u. S.

The only husband-and-wife team of
air mail carriers in the United States
that's the unusual distinction held
by Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Patterson of
Portland, Oregon. In addition, as far
as can be determined, Mrs. Patter-
son is the only woman air mail car
rier in this country.
The Pattersons have been "carry-
ing the mail" from the airfield to
Portland's Post Office for the past
three years, meeting on an average
of fifteen United Airline and North
west Airline planes per day. Regard
less of weather or traffic conditions,
they are allowed fifty minutes for the
nineteen mile haul from airfield to
post office, and this same period Of
time is binding even when fog
grounds the air mail planes farther
afield at Troutdale.
On call twenty-four hours a day,
their usual working day starts at
five fifty A. M, and ends round a.
bout eleven P. M.-almost eighteen
hours later. On an ordinary work.
ing day they accumulate 285 miles
on their two Studebaker Champions,
which amounts to the astounding to-
tai of better than 100000 miles for
the year. What do the Pattersons
do during vacation? They motor to
points of interest.

The note informed that the balloon
had been released from Arlington, on
May 18th at 1890 A. NJ, and it was
on the same day about A. M. that

STRANGE MALADY CLAIMS
LIFE OF WORCESTER MAN

Frank Campbell, 46 year old Bish-
opville farmer, known in merical his
tory as the man with "heart turn
ing to stone", was found dead Fri
day morning, May 2, in his farm
home in northern Worcester County,
near Bishopville.
Campbell was found in bed by his
wife. Seven years ago Campbell's
heart began literally turning to stone.
In 1887 his condition grew serious.
In June of $780, Campbell under
went major operation at Johns Hop
kins, Baltimore, after physicians had
diagnosed his ailment as calcified
membrane sac which encloses the
heart.
The rare malady which Campbell
suffered had never before been cured
by an operation, according to doctors
at the time. The operation had been
performed only five times previously
and in each instance the patient died,
as an immediate result, according to
physicians.
The farmer returned to his home
, following the operation and was call
ed we'll man. But in recent weeks,
the old ailment returned, causing his
death, according to DR.. John L. Riley,
deputy medical examiner of Worces-
ter county.
Funeral services were held on Mon
day afternoon at 1870 o'clock at Zion
M. E. Church by the Rev. w. c. Num-
ford. Interment was made in Zion
Cemetery. Mr.. Campbell is survived
by his wife, Mrs. Eva Gray Campbell;
one son, Willis Campbell, and one
granddaughter, Miss Joyce Ann Camp
bell.

LIGHT STREET
WHARVES BURN;
BOATS ALSO LOST

Two century-old Light street
wharves, in Baltimore, Md, are in
ruins today, the excursion steamer
Colchester and harbor barge were
destroyed during blaze which swept
the Light Street waterfront early on
Thursday of last week.
When the fire was finally brought
under control by $50 firemen sum-
moned by eight alarms, two other
piers had been badly damaged, as
was the steamer Southport, which
was saved by the united efforts of
land and water fire-fighting forces.
Firemen said more serious damage
was averted by action of fireboat
companies in hauling the two steam
ers from their piers and extinguish-
ing their fires in midstream and by
a slight breeze which blew the fire
back upon itself instead of laterally
along the line of piers.
Southern district police had in hand
a report quoting members of re-
pair crew aboard the Colchester that
the fire started aboard the excursion
vessel after an acetylene torch job in
some bulkheading below decks.
Within a matter of minutes the YES
sci was ablaze from stem to stern,
and the flames had leaped to the
adjacent piers.
At it's height the blaze was fought
by $50 firemen manning % engines, 6
trucks and 2 fireboats.
The Colchester Lines quarters,
technically Piers 16 and II though
known only as Pier Is, were complete
ly destroyed.
The Colchester Line piers have not
been in use during the winter, but,
with the opening of the excursion
season May 80, line officials had plan
ned busy summer. The steamer
Colchester was brought to the Light
street wharf just Wednesday after
noon from the Maryland Drydock
Company's Fairfield plant, where it
had been in drydock undergoing a
seasonal overhauling for the past sew
eral months.
The colchester is one of the most
famous of the bays pleasure boats.
