box, and Bernard was forced
to cut it loose.
The boat drifted east with
the storm and was picked up
not too far of Tilghman's Is
land by the cruiser Doloriese,
owned by Jesse N. West of
Washington, who has a cottage
at Deale.
Here Sper enters the story.
The Doloriese reported finding
the boat. with no sign of sur
vivor$ Thinking that Coast
Guard aid was needed, Sper re-
layed the message to headquar-
ters in Baltimore. Meantime,
Bernard arrived with the four
men and the incident was
ended, fortunately without
tragedy.
Calls of this type, however,
are no novelty, Sper explains.
His log on the Jayhawker con-
tains notations of several. On
August 9, 1856, he said he in
tercepted a May Day from the
yacht Eugene somewhere off
North Beach. 1t had hit a sub
merged object which pulled
shaft and propeller out of the
boat.
The 36-foot boat was taking
in water faster than it could
be pumped out, Sper contin-
ued. and its radio went dead.
The only information he had
was that it had left Gainesville
an hour earlier at 10-knot
speed. He contacted other
boats in the area and by tri-
angulation fixed the probable
location. The boat was found
north of North Beach and
towed to Chesapeake Beach
for repairs.
On May Is of this year Sper
said he received a call for aid
from the Frances B. II which
was disabled and wanted to be
taken in tow. He said he re-
layed it to the Coast Guard in
Baltimore which sent a boat
from Tilghman Island.
Only last June 20, Sper said
he went to the aid of a As
foot bay-built boat named the
Sea Pea which was disabled at
dusk by motor trouble. This
time he went out in his Jay
hawker and towed in the boat.
Oddly enough, Sper only has
been in boating a few years,
having quit golf on his doc
tors orders. The Jayhawker is
"a 1888 Wheeler with two late
model 145-horsepower Chrys-
Ter Royals. 1t sleeps six.

Top fishing news on CheSa-
peske Bay the last week seems
to be of two varieties - the
weather and the catching of
a big black drum and the
first bluefish.
The weather has been windy
enough during the day and
stormy enough toward night
to interfere with the fishing
in some areas.
The black drum, estimated
at IS to 80 pounds. was re-
ported caught by an angler
trolling with a bucktail from
Capt. Jerome Kings Mary Lee
out of Chesapeake Beach.
Capt. Randolph Harrison of
Tilghman Island says a q
pound bluefish was taken by
one of his boats bottom fishing
with peeler crab. This was in
addition to the capture of an
8-pound blue reported earlier
this week.
When the weather has per-
mitted. fishing has been fair
to good from Rock Hall down
the Bay. Big rockfish are TAX
ing drifted eelS in the Swan
Point-Love Point area. A few
hardhead are biting at night.
Big Spot Biting
Capt. Harrison said there are
plenty of big spot as well as a
few hardhead in the mouth of
the Choptank. Rock are biting
on the Stone Pile, but more are
being taken trolling than by
drifting eelS.
Rockflsh also are reported
biting off SharpS Island and on
the Clay Bank.
Capt. Ernie Clayton of Chalk
Point says there are large hard
heads, jumbo spot and a few
rock and perch from Poplar
Island north to the Bay Bridge.
At Solomons there are big
spot near the mouth of the Pa
tuxent and pan-sized rockfish

Island across the bay.
Hardhead and spot fishing
continue good in the Point
Lookout area and up the Po-
tomac. Capt. Edward Brown
and Sam Bailey say spot and
perch are biting well near
Blackstone Island. Piney Point

school indignation crisis.
Mr.. Wilkins was the VIC
tim of some very brit
ing question, but c a m y
up with ready and concise an
sWer to each question. This was
in contrast to Mr.. Hays who was
also sharply questioned ON the
indignation crisis Mr.. Hays came
in w j t h considerable ora
tory which was irrevelant in the
answer-wise category.
But in the face of the con-
gressman's evasiveness, he did
say that haste toward integra-
ton should be removed from
the Little Rock situation.
When Hays was asked by
Richard Hottelet of CHS, his
opinion of Governor Faubus'
contention that if the Court order
ed integration to proceed at
Central high school, that blood
shed would follow? Hays said in
effect that Negro leaders would
have to put their children back
into jimcro schools and forget
about any constitutional rights
that the white man didn't wand
them to have.
Hays was also critical Of the
States Rights Amendment au-
thored by Jim Johnson of Cros-
cett. He referred to it as
dangerous Plan" and if approx
ed would restrict the rights OF
the individuals 1t is obvious
that Hays was concerned with
white" individuals. because no
had already stated in effect that
the Negro would have to re-
linquish his rights.
Others in addition to Hottelet
who questioned Hays during the
program Sunday, were Keith
Fuller of the Associated Press
