OFFSHORE BLUEFlSHlNG IS
REMINISCENT OF MlD-30'S

Wanchese.-Old guides Of this
Roanoke Island community are say
ing that never (since the middle
1930's) has the bluefish taken by
anglers been equaled in quantity,
if not in size.
Two local guides, Capt. Willie
Etheridge and Capt. Jesse Eth
eridge, have reported taking a to-
tai of more than 10000 bluefish
with rod and reel this season. That
is, the anglers fishing from their
boats made the takes. It has not
been unusual for fishing parties
to catch several hundred blues in
one day of trolling at Oregon In
let.
Most sensational bluefsh catch
es of 1856, however, have been the
giant "Hatteras blues" landed by
parties usually fishing for dolphin
near the edge of the Gulf Stream
offshore. Dozens of big blues
weighing from eight to IL pounds
have been taken, but the big fish

CHANNEL BASS RETURN
FROM SOUND WATERS

Hatteras.-Channel bass which
normally show up in great num-
bers at Hatteras and Oregon In
let's and along the surf during
mid-Spring, to remain a few weeks
before migrating into the sounds
headed oceanward again this year
several weeks earlier than usual.
Anglers fishing the surf here at
Hatteras Inlet, or casting from
boats in the inlet, have landed
dozens of the big copper-colored
warriors during the past week.
Raymond Basnett of Buxton and
Courtney Starmount of Virginia
Beach landed several, and other
anglers have had similar luck
here. All Of the channel bass taken
weighed more than 40 pounds each
and some scaled at so pounds, ac-
cording to Willie Newsome, local
Sportsman's Headquarters opera
tor.
While most of the anglers fish
ing from boats in the Oregon In
let sector have concentrated on
bluefishing this summer, several
large channel bass have been land
ed during the past week. Peak for
channel bass surf casting for
channel bass in Cape Hatteras
area usually comes during Autumn
months.

SCREWBALLS LOOSE
ON BEACH PROVE
TO BE DANGEROUS

A woman was shot through her
cheek Saturday night on the beach
at Kill Devil Hills by, a pistol in
the hands of her boy friend, both
of whom ought to have more sense
at their age, and both of whom
ought to be hitched up notch or
two. Mrs. Ida Ballosi, Al, of 2122
Virginia Avenue, Norfolk, was out
with George Stephenson, 43, of
Asa Munden Avenue, Norfolk.
Although a person with good
sense wouldn't be demonstrating"
pistol on a public highway at
night, and would know it is unlaw-
full, Stephenson claimed that is
what he was doing, and proved
himself mighty poor teacher, or
a liar one. Chances are it was the
result of a couple of drunks, and
are trying to offer an excuse for
bit of folly. He claimed he had
bought the pistol at Carolina
Beach where they had previously
been.
The gun went off, the bullet en-
tering the left cheek and coming
out behind the left ear. She was
taken to Elizabeth City hospital
for treatment.

FEW REGISTER TO
VOTE ON SCHOOL.
ISSUE AUGUST III
Saturday will Be Last Day; Only
26s Registered Nov on
Roanoke Island

The apparent lack of interest on
the part of the voters in the fact
that Saturday of this week is the
last day in which anyone may reg
lister is a poor showing for the
school election set for August 11th.
Those who have not registered
for this election by the evening of
Saturday, July 28th, cannot ex-
press themselves at the polls. Nei-
ther should they assume the right
to complain about the outcome.
Voters at Nags Head, Manteo,
Wanchese, Mashoes, Manns Har-
Dor, East Lake and Stumpy Point
are to decide the outcome of this
election.
Up to Thursday only 205 people
of some 700 entitled to do so, had
registered at the Manteo box. Only
63 at the Wanchese box, half of
which names were obtained Thurs
day by house to house canvass
by the registrar. Total registered
in these precincts 26S.
Compare the difference in the
primary when voters turned out
to nominate man for the Board
of Education. On that May 26 day,
461 people voted at the Manteo
box and 1877 at the Wanchese box
in the race for the Board of Edu-
cation.
Now here is a question surely
more important-improved school
facilities for the children of these
seven precincts, for whom it is
proposed to issue $25O,OOO in bonds
to erect an adequate high school.
Saturday, this week is the last
day to see the local registrar and
get the name on the books so one
may vote.

In 1887, a group of 121 men,

threat of attack by the Indians.
But Virginia Dare was born there,
the first child born of English par

John White, the governor, went
back to England for much-needed
supplies. When he returned three
years later, there wasn't sign of
Virginia Dare or any other colon

shrouded in mystery.

SEAPLANE MISHAP EARLY
LAST SUNDAY MORNING

Good fortune smiled on two pi-
lots last Sunday morning, as they
suffered a mishap as they at
tempted to take off from the Man.
teo Airport just before eight
o'clock. What could have been a
tragedy resulted in a good wet
ting for pilot N. Simms and his
passenger, Mr.. Mariner, both of
Annapolis, Md, and at least a
500 loss of the plane, which was
a small Luscomb seaplane. AS the
men attempted to take off into a
brisk wind and in fairly rough
water, one of the fittings let go,
and the plane sank in about seven
to eight feet of water.
First assistance came from Miss
Estelle Meekins, who had heard
the commotion from her home on
Croatan Sound shore, and who
rowed out in skiff. She met the
men wading ashore and took them
aboard. A few minutes later, w. M.
Henderson, manager of the Manteo
Airport, arrived on the scene in a
tug and took the men back to the
airport. In a very short while the
plane was lifted from the water by
members of the T. A. Loving Co.
construction crew, who went to the
scene with barge and derrick to
lend assistance.
MIR. Sirnnis and Mr.. Mariner, CO.
owners Of the seaplane, had spent
Saturday night at the Manteo Air
port while enroute from Annapolis
to Wilmington. N. G.
