MARLIN, SAILFISH TAKEN
OFF DARE COAST AREAS

Manteo, Sept. 5.-Four blue
marlin, two from the same boat,
were landed by a,Slers aboard
Oregon Inlet and H&tteras based
boats during the past week end.
Four sailfish were also landed in
one of the better billfishing days
of the 1856 season for these two
species.
Louis and Leonard Williams of
Monongahela, Penn, skipping bait
from the cruiser Chez Chez, skip
pered by Capt. Willie Etheridge
Jr., each landed big blues on Sat
urday. Leonard's fish, nine foot
and eight inches from tip to tip
weighed 274 pounds.
Louis fish measured IL foot
and five inches, but the fish, dur
ing the five hour battle it took
to bring it aboard, was attacked
by shark which badly mutilated
it's right side. Of the flesh still
intact on other side of the giant
carcass, the total weight was 315
pounds. Marlin experts estimated
the big fish would have weighed
over $50 and probably 500 pounds
had it not been attacked by the
sharks. The Williams catches
were made about 80 miles south
easterly of Oregon Inlet.
The third blue marlin taken off
Oregon Inlet on the week end was
landed by F. T. Spruce Jr. of
Lynchburg. His fish was not
measured or weighed before it
was taken from Oregon Inlet Fish
ing Center but observers who
know marlin said it topped 200
pounds.
Youngest Guide
DR.. ]. C. Overbey, undefeated
champion blue marlin fisherman
of Cape Hatteras and Hatteras
waters, landed 34S FOUNDER that
scaled at 10 foot and IL inches.
1t was 81 inches around the girth.
DR.. Overbey made his catch
from his private cruiser the
Snapper ~ and on Saturday,
when the big fish was boated his
skipper was 14-year old Bernard
Foster, son of Capt. Hallas Foster
and member of the famous bill
fishing Foster families of Hat
teras.
1t was the first time that a
cruiser skippered by such young
guide had ever connected with and
successfully brought aboard such
a large marlin. :.
Four Sailfish
Three sailfish were boated by
anglers aboard 0mie Tillett's
cruiser Jerry Jr., on Saturday
when the big blue marlin were be-
ing caught by anglers aboard
other boats. William Eldridge
caught two and Bobby Estes one.
Both anglers were from Falls
Church, Va. A fourth sail was
taken by an unidentified angler
off Oregon Inlet.

BLUEFISHING NEVER
BETTER IN DARE WATERS

Wanchese. - Captain Jesse
Etheridge says bluefishing has
never been better than during the
first week of September this
year.
"The fish amt as large as they
We're back in the 1905, but there
are more of them," said Capt.
Etheridge.
Back in the middle 1905 is
when the big "Hatteras Blues" hit
North Carolina coastal waters. In
those days a five FOUNDER was
considered small bluefish, and
many scaled at 10 to Is pounds.
The fish are ranging from one
to two pounds each.
Best catches of the 1856 blue
fishing season have been made in
Oregon and Hatteras Inlets but on
Labor Day week end with sunny
skies and smooth seas, the blue
fishermen went into the ocean
after blues.
ave made our best catches
down near a wreck off Pea Is
land" he said. (Pea Island is six
or seven miles south of Oregon
Inlet.)
Capt. Etheridge's party of four,
headed by w. P. Morris of Jack
son, N. c., stopped fishing when
they had landed an even $50 blues,
In addition they had caught q
half dozen or SO Spanish mackerel
and three false albacore.

FIRE BURNS OVER LARGE
AREA NEAR RODANTHE

An area of some 40 acres in
size burned over near the Fair
haven Methodist Church, Rodan-
the, during the week end. Origin
of the fire is not known. At one
time it was feared the church
might be damaged. A strong wind
blew flames toward the Chicama-
comico motel. However on reach
ing the road across the beach, il
soon burned out. Nearly all the
population of the three villages
was attracted to the fire.

PROFIT SHOWN BY
LOST COLONY ON
ITS 1855 SEASON
In Position TO Open in 1857 After
Having 1910 Gain in
Paid Attendance @

The Lost Colony will show a
profit from its 18th season opera
ton, as compared to an operating
loss of approximately $21, 900 dur
ing 1866 when eight performances
were cancelled as a result of rains
or storm reports during August,
it was stated here today by Dick
Jordan, the shows general man.
ager.
A total of 42,2O1 persons paid
admission to see the IS perform
ances presented this season. This
compared with 1891 persons pay
ing to see the show last year dur
ing so performances. Only one per-
Torrance was cancelled due to
rains this year and there was no
repetition of the storm reports
which occurred during 1866.
A breakdown of the total paid
attendance this year (Which does
not include complimentary tickets
issued to the press, radio and tele-
vision outlets, or the membership
passes) reflected that an average
of 767 persons attended the show
each night. Last year during so
performances, the average night
ly paid attendance was only $50
persons.
The Lost Colony during the 1856
season, as in previous years, was
an important factor in the econo-
my of Manteo, Roanoke Island and
the Dare Coast generally. In addi-
ton to the thousands of dollars
paid performers, which was spent
for the most part here at home,
the people who attended the show
spent money with guest houses, ho-
tel and motel operators, the res
taurants, gift shops, gas stations,
and just about every other bust
ness enterprise in the area.
There had been rumors during
the summer that The Lost Colony
may be showing for it's last season
this year, but the rumors were I'M
founded. The drama, which has liv-
ed longer than all other outdoor
productions in the world, will open
for it's 18th season in Waterside
Theatre here on June 20, 1857 with
a production schedule calling for
So performances. The 1857 season
will end on September /.
(The foregoing rumor probably
originated when word got out that
The Common Glory in Williams
burg may give way to another Paul
Green play next summer in con-
nection with the jamestown cele-
bration. 1t has since been announc-
ed that The Common Glory will be
presented during 1857 and that a
second drama. now being prepared
by Green. will also be presented in
Williamsburg near restored James
town.
If The Lost Colony has weather
breaks during it's 1857 season
comparable with 1856, it is likely
that next year will be one of the
best seasons of it's long history.
This is based on the fact that by
the summer of 1857 the Croatan
Sound bridge will be open and
traffic from the west and south
can be funneled into Manteo by
way of the new bridge which will
replace the existing ferries.
R. E. Jordan, general manager
of The Lost Colony, has been wide
ly complimented on his energetic
and economical management of
the show which by reason there
fore has been getting back on it's
feet, despite the costly set-backs
of 1866 when hurricane scares ran
business away from the entire
area. 3

.ByPi|ot' Skill

The quick thinking of a 35-

averting an accident yesterday
in the emergency landing of a

ger plane at National Airport.
A Pan American spokesman
here said the plane. DC-6. had
just taken off from New York's

Pilot Jack Harvey of Forest Hills.
N. Y, noticed the nose wheel
would not fully retract.
The pilot circled Idlewild but
could not attempt a landing
there because of show and a
600-foot ceiling. He then flew
the plane, carrying four other
crew members and % passen-
gers, here.
Airport ergency crews
sprayed foamite on the north
end of the north-south runway
and the pilot touched the nose
wheel down lightly on the foam
covered runway, lifted it off.
then touched it back down so
as to lock the nosewheel in
landing position.
The Pan American spokesman
said the foamite, a chemical
used to eXtinquish fires, was used
as a preventative against sparks

to prevent the tire on the nose
