verified 22-car ferry, the Lindsay

man who is one of the two remain
ing six men under Capt. John AL
len Midget who won medals from
the King of England for their res
cue of the Mirlo crew, victims of a
German U-Boat in World War II.
Leroy Midget of Wanchese is the

Standing with Mr.. Midget, is
Ellery Clark Midget, a grandson
of Capt. John Allen, who has been
attached to this station. Monday
was the day this station and Little
Kinnekeet went out of service.
The other stations which have
been decommissioned through the
years since World War l are Pea
Island, New Inlet, Gull Shoal, Big
Kinnekeet, Creeds Hill and Dur
ants. The Coast Guard service no
longer considers life-boat stations,
as they are now called, of the value
in which they were held in the old
days of sailing ships. So, through
recent years, it has done away
with most of them.
Fred Gray, Jr., recently in COM
mand of Chicamicomico, has been
transferred to Caffeys Inlet, and
the other members of his crew as
signed as follows: Selby Gaskins,
Curtis E. Scarborough, Bill O'Neal
and Robert Robinson to Oregon

Hatteras. Victor Williams who was
in command of Little Kinnekeet

NORFOLK DENTIST LANDS
442 POUND MARLIN

HatteraS. DR.. j. c. Overbey,
the Norfolk dentist who landed
the world record blue marlin for
1858, boated another big fish OF
the same spcies off Hatteras
Saturday, June IL, while trolling
with skipped bait from aboard
his private cruiser Snapper II.
Last year, on September 10,
fishing from aboard the same
boat and in approximately the
locality near the western edge
of the Gulf Stream DR.. Overbey
landed a 570R pound blue mar
lin, largest entered in National
competition in the world last
year.
His latest blue marlin meas
ured 10 feet and 10 inches from
tip to tip, its girth measurement
was 81 inches and the tailspread
was 40 inches. He was suing g
whole mackerel for bait wher
the big fish struck.
In length, his blue marlin Of
last Saturday was two feet short
er than the 1858 fish, but his
latest catch, a definite record fol
the American coast so far this
season was not as streamlined.
Capt. Wheeler Balance o.
Hatteras was skipper of tbs
Snapper II when the catch was
made. He was also skipper wher
the big world record (for 1858,
fish was taken last year.

A NEW CHANNEL
FOR COAST GUARD
A T HATTERAS
Six Foot Depth Into Former
GooseViIIe Gun Club; Old
Stations Closed

Hatteras, June 17.-Dredging
began this week on six-foot
channel leading from the dock of
what was until two months ago
the last of the once numerous
gun clubs along the Outer Banks,
now the property of the National
Park Service and exchanged to the
U. S. Coast Guard for it proper
ties at Chicamicomico and Little
Kinnakeet Lifeboat stations. The
club house will become a Coast
Guard station and the two stations
abandoned this week will become
Park property.
Before the end of summer the
converted club house will replace
the lifeboat station on the Ocra-
coke side of Hatteras Inlet though
no definite date has been fixed
for the abandonment of the Hat
teras Inlet station. 1t is being re-
tanned through the summer sea-
son on standby status and the
need of it when the inlet is crowd
ed every day by sports fishermen
many of them with their own boats
and pilots not too familiar with
local waters.
Elimination of the station on
the south side of the Inlet has
been necessitated by the unstable
conditions of the beach at that
point. The boat dock at the station
has been sanded up for many
months and even shallow water is
about mile away and the watch
tower which tumbled down before
the gnaw of the tide has been re-
placed. In order to reach the sta
ton from deep water a mile in a
skiff and another mile in a jeep
is necessary.
Plans for the replacement of the
station are not new. Several years
back lands were surveyed and OPP
tons taken for a modern station
in Hatteras village but the coming
of the park to the area and the
opening of until now closed lands
made the move to the club house
practicable and cheaper. A chan
mel will be dredged that will
eventually accommodate larger
boats and the site is well away
from present trends of erosion.
Little work, relatively, will need
to be done to the main building to
make it lifeboat station.
Noon Monday saw the final
elimination of the stations at Ro-
danthe and Avon, and the Chica
micomico station was placed again
in charge of BMC Levene w.
Midget, third and last regularly
assigned officer in charge there
since it was built in 1882. The first
was Bannister L. Midget, the Sec
ond John Allen Midget, Capt.
Levene Midget retired early this
year and the temporary officer in
charge has been BM1c Fred Gray,
Jr., who has returned to his regu-
lar duty at Caffey's Inlet. Midget
was retained in temporary
capacity as caretaker until the
Park Service formulates plans for
its utilization.
Personnel of the two abandoned
stations were sent temporarily to
Cape Hatteras and Oregon Inlet
stations where full crews will now
be maintained.

SOUTH BOSTON ANGLERS
CATCH BIG AMBERJACK

Eleven am berjack, some
weighing up to 35 pounds each
were landed by four South Bos-
ton, Va, anglers fishing in the
Gulf Stream here on the week
end. They were fishing with
Capt. Clarence Holmes aboard
the cruiser Secotan and in addi-
ton to amberjack they brought
in one king mackerel, two bonita
and two false albacore.
