During the fishing and yacht
ing season which followed, Craig
tried to sell a little service to
the boatmen in the way of shell
ter and fresh water but it was a
sorry effort and one wealthy
yachtsman out of pity gave his
crew $500 and told them to 60
ashore and spend it in Poor
Old Craig's slot machines"
Since then he has been Poor
Old Craig"
Now Craig is rising above his
misfortune, is prepared to pro-
vide sleeping accommodations
for % in the winter season.
"His houses" says the story in
Pure Oil News, "are modest but
comfortable, and. with ,, meals,
one may stay a week or two at
$40 TO SIS day, but reserva-
tlons are necessary. A rowbOat
may be had for SIS day, a small
power boat for SIS and char
ter boat with guide for a matter
Of $40 or $50 day"
These prices seem expensive,
comments Pure Oil News, until
one makes comparison with the
costs in the Florida East Coast
cities and until one realizes that
here, at Craig, is some of the
finest deep-sea fishing in Flori-
da. And the nearest sources of
supply are long way off.
Echo From the North
Somehow" concludes the ar
ticle, lit is difficult to feel too
sorry for Poor Old Craig sitting
down there in the warm sun
shine of the Florida Keys during
january when we are hurrying
from suburban train to office
trying to avoid chills as the zero
winds blow and fuel-oil supply
gets smaller and smaller. There
he sits, works or fishes in the
warm sunshine and he can slip
over the side of the boat for a
minute if the sun gets too hot.
Poor Old Craig! Phooey!
And the echo is, Phooey!
