The fish are back in the Severn.
Time was when this beautiful salt
water stream was famed for its large
rockfish, and, parts of it. for pike.
But decade or more ago these fish
all but disappeared, and the river
yielded mostly small perch to the
few who tried their luck.
In the vicinity of Sherwood Forest,
mediums sized rock, large yellow and
white perch, hardhead and spot are
furnishing excellent sport, and more
and more anglers are taking advarl-
tage of 1t as the reports of bounti-
full catches spread.
Capt. Joe Jones, In charge OF

Retired Architect and His Wife,
Lubbers All Their Lives, Find
New Thrills Living on Ketch

And that is how Sidoine came
into being. Ordering a sister ship
to the Hurricane to be built by the
same Mississippi boat yard. Skipper
McBroom and his wife left their
comfortable home In Des Moines
and went to sea.
The last winter they lived the life
of explorers and beachcombers
among the Florida Keys. With no
studied attempt at economy, the
couple found they could live COM
fortably for an average of $40 each
a month. McBroom explained it
this way:
THE marine life is amazing in
the Keys. There are fish and
Holsters available simply for the
throwing in of line or net"
Until his retirement several years
ago, McBroom was partner in
prominent architects firm in Des
Moines. A graduate of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, he has
designed many buildings. A glance
at the interior of Sidoine will prove
his ability in designing cabin lay
outs. 1t comes close to the ideal
cruising yacht below decks.
Weathers Two Big Blows.
Nor is the ketch poorly designed
for going to sea- For one thing, her
sister ship weathered many a gale
when Ray Kaufman sailed the
Hurricane around the world several
years ago. Sidoine has been through
two big blows, one in the Gulf Of
Mexico and another in the Atlantic
a hundred miles off Savannah.
Mrs. McBroom. daughter of the
late Governor of Iowa, Warren
Garst, finds living afloat as much
fun as her husband does. Like her
husband, she entered Yachting an
all-out landlubber, but in six
months has become a veteran sailor.
The couple will spend the rest of
the summer crising Chesapeake Bay.
And when the geese head south.
they'll do the same.

Adequate Equipment
Lacking 10 Handle
Ugly Condition
Heavy Fines Suggested
For Persons Tossing
Refuse Into River

By MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.
Harassed by the twin threat of
the spreading water chestnut and
river pollution, local yachtsmen and
their boats face another menace
floating driftwood and trash which
has grown to alarming proportions
along the upper Potomac River.
Boatmen have received assurances
something" was being done about
pollution and the annoying marine
growth, but no steps have been
taken TO sweep the channel clear of
dangerous flotsam.
Washington's water front is in a
peculiar position when compared
with other ports. No adequate pa
troll of the river with special craft
sweeping it clear ever has been pro-
vided the Capital. More important
ports are offered Coast Guard or
other facilities for maintaining safe
navigation.
Harbor Police Handicapped.
But not the District. At best we
have the harbor police, who patrol
the river within the confines of the
District, but who lack adequate
equipment and personnel to do a
thorough job of keeping the river
clear.
A member of the Washington
Yacht Club who has been cruising
the Potomac for a number of years
has come forward with suggestions
Tor remedying the menace. He pro-
poses a fund be established through
local club assessments or contribu-
tions and that riverma and his
boat be hired to maintain a periodic
sweep Of the channel.
Local Sea Scouts could do a good
turn weekly, be believes, if they were
assigned to a boat volunteered for
such a purpose.
While much of the driftwood is
the product of washouts on the
upper river, there are offenders
right here in Washington. An in
crease of partially submerged logs
and planking has been noticed
since the start of construction work
on local yacht basins.
Yachtsman Suggests Fines.
Workmen find it much simpler
to let sawed off pile or plank
float away with the tide rather
than fish it ashore out of harms
way.
K. H. Dillon. the Washington Y.
c. member, suggests heavy fines for
persons found guilty of "contribut-
ing" to the driftwood menace.
L voice the sentiment for action
OF all boat owners and operators In
this vicinity, and have much evil
dence of damage and loss of boats
due to this increasing menace. 4"
he writes.
Il know that these owners are
interested and anxious to CO.
operate with the harbor police in
patrolling our river and making
reports of all persons seen throw
ing trash and other debris into the
river"
Certainly no expense is being
spared to give Washington the finest
in boating facilities, but much of 1t
will be nullified unless steps are
taken to protect the increasing num-
Der OF craft that might be attracted
to Washington.
Evening star., 1941-08-01

When a mid-Westerner who has
spent only three hours on a boat
in his life suddenly decides to go
to sea there is certain to be adven-
ture for all hands.
That is what happened to Leland
A. McBroom, retired Des Moines
architect now visiting at Capital
Yacht Club aboard his sea-going
ketch Sidoine. Until little over
year ago Skipper McBroom would
have called the person crazy who
prophesied he'd be cruising his own
little ship to Cuba and the Florida
Keys and the intracoastal water
way.
One Cruise Sold Him.
But McBroom had only to sail
the globe-circling ketch Hurricane.

Moines, for three hours of the Gulf
Coast in June of last year to con-
vince himself that living af1oat was

Marked by Many
Great Catches
Special Dispatch to The Star.

AUGUSTA, Me, Aug. AL
though Names first annual tuna
tournament now is history, it will
be talked about in angling circles
for q long time and should rate q
few places in the record books.
Mark Island Gully certainly wit
messed angling history in the max
ing.
Fifty fish totaling 26,066 pounds
were taken by 19 boats. The largest
was 700-pounder and the smallest
tipped the scales at 3O5. Eleven
weighed more than 600 pounds.
1t is safe to say that more than
200 of the bluef1ns were lost by
overanxious anglers or because of
inexperience with such big fellows.
Henry Mike Strater of Ogun-
quit, Me-, was the outstanding per-
former. He took nine fish for q
total weight of 1856 pounds.
Mrs. Ben Crowningshield of Man.

fish weighing 2,018 pounds. Her
