Not that he particularly likes

! Jimmy doesn't know why. Here's
his story:

On Monday he was at it again.
He Travelled from Baltimore to
New York-by passenger train.

PIER FISHING PROVES
POPULAR ON DARE COAST

Kitty Hawk.-When the new
fishing pier was built over the
oceans surf here at the southern
limits of Southern Shores, some
of the operators of similar piers
farther south in the Mays Head
region predicted that there was
not enough pier fishing business to
make three of them popular. AL
ready the operators statement
has been proven incorrect.
Hundreds of anglers daily are
making excellent catches of spot,
croaker, trout and puppy drum
from the Kitty Hawk pier and it
is the same story in the Mays
Head region, Is miles southwark
where anglers are making similar
catches daily from the two piers
of that section. Ocean pier fishing
probably attracts more anglers
during autumn months, than any
other method of fishing-especially
along the Dare Beaches where
three such operations are doing a
better than-usual business.

THEY CAME LONG WAY
TO FISH DARE WATERS

Mays Head.-Ray H. Droege of
Chicago, headed party of ang-
lers who tried just about every
thing Dare waters has to offer at
this season of the year, during
three days of fishing. His party
of anglers came from widely sep
arated areas of the west and mid
die west. Everywhere they fished,
they had fair to excellent luck.
b On their first day of fishing,
they tried the Gulf Stream off
Oregon Inlet, trolling from Capt.
Sam Tillett's cruiser the Sharon
Rebecca. Thirty-eight dolphin, the
largest going 25 pounds, and Is
albacore were boated. Next day
they tried the large mouth bass in
the fresh waters of the Mays Head
and Kitty Hawk region. They did
not land their limits, but they reel
ed in several bass and were as
founded to find such good fresh
water fishing so near salt water.
On the third day they fished the
surf with fair results, despite the
fact that Equinoxialy weather con-
ditions had set in temporarily and
surf fishing was not at it's best.
The Droege party included Jay
Hoffman, Wilmeth, ILL.,, E. N. John
son and S. 1. Russell of Chicago,
Ed Russell, Laurel, Miss, and
Watson Perry of Phoenix, Ari-

LANDS BIG CHANNEL BASS
ON IS POUND TEST LINE

Hatteras.-M. o. Davis of VIM
ston-Salem, landed a 43-pound
channel bass from the surf at
Hatteras Inlet, which was not con-
sidered unusual from the size of
the big fish, as larger ones have
been taken in the same area al
ready this year, one 621s pound
er which will be a challenger for
the national record of 1854.
Fact that Davis was rugged for
small fish, and that his line test
was only Is pounds, made the catch
unusual. Willie Newsome, operator
Of a bait and tackle shop here
where most of the big and small
fish taken from the surf are even
tually weighed reported that Dayfs,
whose home address is $40 Strick-
land Avenue, in the Western Car
DINA cigarette manufacturing city,
was using a small Penn 100 reel
and a 20 hook when the g. pound
er was landed. In addition to the
big fish, the Winston Salem angler
had also landed three smaller
channel bass, one bluefsh and two
founders on one flow of the tide.
Newsome reported that the en-
tire surf of Hatteras Island from
Oregon to Hatteras Inlet was now
literally alive" with channel bass,
blues, founder and trout. When he
gave his report about Davis, the
43-pounder was the largest channel
bass taken during the current run
of the copper beauties. Channel
bass fishing from now until the
middle of November, win be i'm
proving each week, especially in
the SURF" Newsome predicted.

GLIM P S ES
T III E p A S T
By CAROLYN LLOYD

The obituary notice stated that
he died at the age of SO. That
means that big Ike" was SO the
night that he almost tossed me
over his head in a "skuare set"
down on Ocracoke Island. That
would have been no mean feat
for a man half the ale, but Big
Ike was giant among men.
cccccccc Gee eeeeee e-b
Big Ike O'Neal is gone, and
with him went some of the spe-
cial flavor of the island, as any
Ocracoke addict will agree. To
those of us who used to visit
there every summer the charm
of the island was compounded of
the sea and the sand and the
strong personalities that dwelt
thereon. 1t will never be quite
the same now that Cap'n Bill
Gaskill, Simey ONeal, Big Ike
and many others are no longer
there.
Cap'n Bill was the proprietor
of the Pamlico Inn, located on
the sound side of the island, and
he was always on hand to greet
the boat from Swan Quarter and
kiss all the pretty girls who dis
embarked. Maybe Cap'n Bills
eyesight was poor, but an ugly
girl never got off that boat.
Simey was a man of many tai
ents, not the least of them the
ability to remove warts, or so he
claimed. l never found out for
sure, for he decided to remove
wart from my finger just as I
was getting ready to board the.
boat for the trip home. First he
gathered a bit of seaweedf and
plastered it on the wart with wet
sand; then he went down on all
tours and began making noises
like a goat. At that crucial mo-
ment the last call came from the
boat, and l had to leave in the
middle of the spell. The wart
was later removed by more
scientific methods, and now I'll
never know what Simey's antics
would have accomplished.
There are many who will
share with me the memories of
the Ocracoke of by-gone day:
the Foot Stompers Club, an
exclusive organization which re-
quired only that member be
able to step on burning cigar
cite duck with bare foot with
out flinching; humping across
the sands in the only truck on
the island; the best square dane
ing anywhere, barefooted or not
as the fancy struck you; the I'M
earthly beauty of the ocean and
beach in the moonlight; that
wonderful carefree feeling that
came when you got off the boat
and the reluctant leave taking
when the vacation was over;
swollen feet that didn't take
kindly to shoes when back or
the mainland; and the wonder
full, friendly islanders.
Time was, when a summer
that didn't include a week at
Ocracoke was a summer lost.
Each summer comes the urge to
see the island again, but with it
comes a strange reluctance. Old
scenes revisited sometimes bring
establishment. Could it be that
some of the charm depended on
the high spirits of youth and the
right crowd of playmates?
Would the ghosts of yesteryear
hover about and obscure the
beauty of today? Surely the
ocean and the sand are the same,
but is it worth the risk to find
out that they were just the set
ing for the illusions that only
