He farmed and he surveyed land
and he administered physic and de-
livered babies.
Sons were born, two of them to
his third wife and the first of
them he named Frederick Phineas
for no one in particular Before
the boy was five years old he
had taught him to swim in the
canal that traversed the farm and
by the time he was six the boy
had mastered the rudiments of
managing boat with sail on it.
The elder Latham knew something
about farming, too, but not more
than enough to piece out the not
too adequate medical and engi-
neering income. He loved the sea.
He loved water and wind and sun
and these things he instilled into
the not very husky boy.
And then, before the boy was
II years old, the seaman died. He
bequeathed to the boy the farm
and his love of the sea. Making
a living on a farm, in 1889 was
a pretty grim business for a boy
of II. He was a grimly serious
sort of boy, conscious of his re-
sponsibility to his widowed mother
and his brother and sister. He
farmed, somewhat grimly, for near
quarter of a century before he
took time off to do some object
i've thinking about the business.
He came up with an answer that
has revolutionized farming in
Tidewater, North Carolina, but
that is not part Of this tale. 1t
is getting confused enough as it
is.
At about the time he stopped
to do some objective thinking, pos
sibly while sitting on the front
porch of the house his father had
built, and in which he still lives,
Mr.. Latham became aware of the

STILL TOPS ON
COAST OF DARE

Sailfishing is gaining more
recognition through the press
than any other Sportsfishing in
Dare County at the present time,
it was stated today by a repre-
sentative Of the Dare County
Tourist Bureau.
This is a fact, even though
some excellent catches of blue
fish are being reported each day
and the fresh water fishing is
also considered very good. The
fishing from ocean piers at Mays
Head has been better this season
than IN IT'S history" said Warren
Jennette, veteran fishing pier
operator.
Dolphin, amberjack, school
tuna, bonita. cabio and wahoo
are being caught daily by ang-
lers fishing the western edge of
the Gulf Stream off Hatteras and
Oregon Inlet, but the catches of
sailfish are keeping the news
spotlight.
Last week end Capt Willie
Etheridge, Jr., with a party from
Newport News and Baltimore,
not only caught scores of dolphin
but two sailfish in one day. 1t
was the first time that two sail
fish had ever been taken by a
party aboard one boat operating
anywhere along the North Caro-
lima coast.
Capt. ETnal Foster of Hatteras
reported last week end that Mrs.
Fred Tcout:nan landed a z foot
sail. One Of the two landed aboard
Etheridge's boat was boated by
a Mrs. C:ederman of Newport
News. -.
Fewer white marlin are being
caught, and only one blue marlin
has been landed SO far this sea-
son. In the meantime more than
30 sailfish have been taken by
anglers off the Dare coast, by
far mere than have been taken
from any other sportsfishing To-
cality norta of Florida.

Jess Pritchard intended to get up
early that morning and slip off to
join the posse without waking the
household, but when he brought his
horse back to the cabin door he
found that his wife, Linda, was up
and had the bacon frying.
They pulled up their chairs
quietly, SO as not to waken Mandy.
For while they ate in silence. then
Linda said: "Must you 60 up there,
Jess? If he's cornered, and probably
wounded, can't the posse take him
without your help?'

HE'D JUST taken his rifle from

He took Mandy up in front of

on the saddle-horn and the other on
his cartridge belt and leaned back
against him. He held her with his
left arm and walked the horse to
the mouth of the canyon. The home

opened east. It was just sun-up, and
the slope on the left was still in
the shadow, but the south slope and

in the warm dust of the wagon road
which paral1eled the creek. Linda
