HOMECOMING ENJOYED
AT EAST LAKE CHURCH
Many Former Residents Join Serv-
ice Sunday and Take Dinner
on the Grounds

A community homecoming was
enjoyed by more than 200 people
Sunday at East Lakes Methodist
Church, the crowd being swelled
by many former residents from
Manteo, Norfolk, Elizabeth City
and other towns. A service was
conducted in the church by Rev.
A. L. G. Stephenson, the pastor.
Following the church service,
dinner was spread on the grounds.
There was more than enough food.
Even the visitors brought baskets.
Many of the visitors had not seen
their old home surroundings in
many years.
There were more Creefs and
Twifords on East Lake Sunday
than have been there in many a
day. 1t was day of great fellow
ship, the revival of old friendships
and old memories, and the visitors
departed with pleasant memories.
A few met with disappointment,
coming and going when they found
the ferry could not accommodate
them all at one trip, and some
were late and had less time to en-
joy their visits.

BIG SAILFISH GOBBLES
UP TUNA OFF HATTERAS
By AYcocK BROWN

What will probably go down
as the most unusual catch of
1925 piscatorial history was
made off Hatteras on Monday by
Edward D. Bennett, Norfolk, Va,
angler, while fishing in the Gulf
Stream from aboard Capt. Ernal
Fosters cruiser Albatross II.
A small tuna hooked with a
feather lure was being reeled in
for landing when not one, but
several sailfish surfaced and
started for the tuna. One of the
sail struck the tuna and in its
attempts to swallow the smaller
fish was also hooked. Twenty
five minutes later after battling
the sailfish with 40 Penn Sen
ator reel on a 9-ounce tip glass
rod, the seven foot, four inch sail
weighing 48 pounds was boated.
It was the 44th sailfish to be
landed with rod and reel by ang-
lers fishing out of Hatteras and
Oregon Inlets on the Dare Coast
since May 80 when the first of
this species of spearfish was land
ed.
"The sail took out most of the
line before it was finally check
ed, and then the exciting battle
of bringing the fish to the stern
of the boat began. 1t was one of
the most exciting battles between
man and fish that l have ever
seen, because the sail was not
only making sensational leap,
but several others were surfacing
at the same time" said Captain
Foster.
The tuna which the sailfish took
was small weighing two or three
pounds but during the day of
fishing the Bennett party which
included M. P. Schudt, Lewis
town, Penna., M. A. Mann, ST.,
Jetersville, Va, and Tom Starke,
Jr., Amelia, Virginia landed a
total of eight school tuna, the
largest scaling at about eight
pounds. They also landed four
dolphin and one false albacore.
Capt. Foster reported sea con-
ditions perfect for Gulf Stream
fishing on Monday. He said that
Sam Jones, Jr., accounted for six
dolphin. 10 school tuna and three
false albacore. Bill Foster was
the skipper.

MANTEO SAILORS AID IN
RESCUE OF PORTUGUESE
Norman Ward and Brantley Brown
Write Home About Saving of
Shipwrecked Crew at Sea
By AYCOCK BROWN

Details of the rescue of II Por-
tuguese fishermen from the perils
of the sea 100 miles east of Sac
Miguel island in the Azores,
reached Manteo this week from
two members of. the crew of the
SIS Compass which hauled the sur
vivors, adrift for six days, to safe
ty and later delivered them to
Lisbon, Portugal.
Seafarers Norman Ward and
Brantley Brown, Manteo residents,
and Compass crewmen, gave a
graphic description of the rescue,
in letters airmailed on September
80, the day following the rescue.
Their ship the Compass had sail
ed from Norfolk with a cargo of
coal on September 18th, bound
for SaVGna, Italy.
The IL rescued men had been
part of a crew of 80 aboard the
fishing vessel John Costa of Lis
bon which had mysteriously ex-
ploded and sunk some 300 miles
off the Azores on September %
while enroute home with a full
cargo after fishing for five months
on the Grand Banks off Nova Sco-
tia.
"a group of US in the Compass
crew were off watch and sitting
around talking about $3.50 on the
afternoon of the rescue, when we
heard some yelling. At first we
thought someone had fallen over
the side CT our ship but soon we
learned that survivors had been
sighted in three small dories, one
on the port side of cur ship and
the other two on the starboard,'
wrote Brown.
"We circled and got all three
dories on our leeward and hauled
them aboard. There had been 80
men in the crew of the John Cos
ia. According to the survivors we
picked up all members of the crew
had jumped overheard as their
vessel exploded and started to
burn before sinking. By some mir
acle, according to the stories they
told us, all 81 dories aboard had
been blown free and it was believ-
ed that each member of the crew
had gotten aboard them safely.
During the six days of drifting
without food OF water, except for
the rain water they managed to
catch during squalls, the fisher
men-manned dories had become
separated" he continued.
"Our ship, the Compass, search
ed the area for more survivors
and sent an sos to rescue agencies
on the European mainland and to
other ships at sea. We have not
learned whether the other surviv-
ors, 68 fishermen aboard Is dories
have been rescued, but search
planes went out to look for them.
We delivered our survivors to Lis
bon on the following day, before
our ship passed Gilbralter and
continued on our voyage" said
Brown.
"They were surely the happiest
persons / have ever seen when
rescued and they all Rugged and
kissed our crew members like half
crazed people, and it was all new
experience for me-" wrote Brown
who entered the Merchant Marine
last year. The SIS Compass agents
in Norfolk is Sprague and Com
pany.

HUNTERS FROM MANY STATES
POUR INTO COASTLAND FOR
GREATEST HUNTING SEASON
Opening Days Downtown Brings Disap-
pOintment; Calls for Drowning of Sorrows,
Sadly Depicting Trips Supply of Cheer; Big
Season Anticipated.

Many a deer threw his bush
tail into the wind, what there
was of it, and departed leaving
a merry ha-ha behind for the
hordes of sportsmen who poured
into the Coastland all day Mon
day and Tuesday to be a part of
what everybody is looking for
ward to as the biggest season
ever known in the counties of
Beaufort, Hyde, Dare and Tyrrell.
They all wanted to be on hand
on the opening day of the deer
season Wednesday and they got
here on time. Some came from
as far away as Tennessee, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, and they filled up
the hotels and cabins of Hyde,
Dare and Tyrrell, and in the Bel
haven area. Some came with
trucks, loaded with tents and
cooking utensils, others brought
trailers laden with hounds and
motor boats, and considered
themselves duly prepared for any
emergency.
Every available guide was an
ticipating a good day, with lots
of tips, for Tuesdays weather
was so clear and balmy, it looked
fine for the morrow. The sunset
was rosy and golden. Even deer
was seen now and then chasing
down the pike and the hunters
could hardly wait to unlimber the
guns before the deer leaped off
into the leafy roadsides of U. S.
"a and 264.
Came Wednesday morning and
a dismal down-pour of rain. It
was enough to make stout hearts
weep. 1t didn't let up all day, like
it needed to encourage the deer
hunter. Weeds and bushes were
too wet anyway. There was moth
ing to do but to stay home and
seek what consolation might be
found in nipping along on the
supply of refreshment brought to
serve at night, and to outlast the
trip.
Some of the hunters, with
nothing to do but nip along all
day and far into the dismal night
of Wednesday, didn't feel like
getting out all Thursday morn
ing. But not all of them. Most
of them kept in form. Some play
ed cards and told tales, and
others visited around the villages
and got acquainted with the
folks. In one instance, a man
made arrangements to buy a
piece of land and build a hunting
lodge that he mightn't have got
ten around to had he been hunt
ing.
Old hunters believe this is GO
ing to be the biggest season ever
known in the Walter Raleigh
Coastland. In many sections for
est fires have been nil, so that
game has flourished, and this sea-
son it has lots of cover. For an
other thing, the publicity that has
ben done on behalf of this area
is creating lot of interest in its
sport. The fact that paved roads
lead everywhere through it is
getting more widely known. AS
matter of fact, there are yet
many sportsmen who still think
