fishing for the sport Of catch-
ing them.
Since writing you, I have
talked with others how have
had similar experiences in the
past with METERS encircling
their boats with a haul seine.
I have advised them that should
this occur in the future, to leave
the area without any disturb
ance and report the incident
to the Department of Tide
water Fisheries, Annapolis, Md,
and to give us the name andtor
number Of the boat, location
and other pertinent data.
If this occurs repeatedly,
there would seem to be no alter
native but to seek legislation
that would afford the same
rights to sports fishermen that
are afforded to the commercial
men,"
Radcliffe and the Hyattsytlle
chapter of the Walton League
would like to hear of any Incl
dents Of the nature described
in the correspondence. 1t is
emphasized that in future cases
the thing to do is leave the
disputed area peacefully and
apprise the Tidewater Fisheries
Commission of all PERTINENT
data.

Group 10 Build
Yacht 10 Enter
America SOUP

NEW YORK, Aug. II (AP)
AT least one new 12-meter
yacht will be built for the 1864
Americas Cup defense against
Britain, the New York Yacht
Club disclosed today.
w. Mahlon Dickerson, yacht
club secretary, said the new
Sloop would be backed by a syn
dictate of men prominent in
yachting circles. No names were
revealed.
The latest United States l.
meter craft is expected to come
off the drawing board of DIN
Stephens, the well known de-
signer who drafted the last two
boats to turn back British
challenges-the Class j. Ranger
in 1887, and Columbia, In
1858.
Such a project is estimated to
cost 100000. This includes de-
signing and building the craft
and putting 1t through next
years trials.
The new Sloop would have
to beat several hardened cam
paigners If it is to qualify for
the meeting with the British
off Newport, r. l., In Septem-
Der, 1864.
These inc lud e Weatherly,
owned by Henry D. Mercer of
Rumson, N. j., the boat that
turned back Australia's Gretel
last year; Chandler Hovey'S
fastener from Marblehead
Mass; Columbia, owned by
Cornelius Shields, ST., and Ne
fertiti, the contender of E
Ross Anderson of Marblehead
Mass.
Columbia, fastener anc
Weatherly all were built ir
1858, Nefertiti last year.
Britain's challenger-apparent
is Anthony Boyden's Sovereign
a boat designed by David Boyd
the Scotsman who also con-
ceived the Inflated Sceptre
Sceptre was beaten in foul
straight by Columbia in 1858.
There are reports that the
British may get up another
yacht to challenge Sovereign
for the right to race in the
Atlantic waters off Newport
These reports have not beer
confirmed.

1.-THE METER in this particular

actions in the future"
Wouldn't Want Gift Fish
In reply to this the Hyatts-
vile Chapter of the Izaak Wal
ton League, as represented by
Radcliffe, wrote:
I'VE thank you for your let
ter Of August 8 regarding the
placing of a haul seine around
our anchored fishing boat. 1t is
greatly appreciated that you
contacted the offending party.
1T is acknowledged that most
commercial METERS are courte-

would mind moving and would
give you some fish for your
trouble. However laws are not
made for most people but for
those that would offend good

Seiners Leave Sports Fisherman Quite Vexed

day with the wind blowing up
3-foot waves we caught a few
rockfish. When the tide
changed in the afternoon the
wind died down and we fished
at the mouth Of Eastern Bay
around the corner from Bloody
Point Light where the clammers
had been dredging clans. We
started to catch some nice pam
sized rockfish-12 to Is inches,
when across from Tilghman
Island came a boat with the
name on its side-Betsy Lee.
The first thing we knew was
that this 27-foot un-numbered
boat put a mile-long seine
around us and when the net
came close to our anchored
boat, the men in the boat told
us to get out.
I'VE asked what right they
had to throw a net around us
and order us to leave. They
said: You are fishing for fun.
We are fishing for a living

ter have the right to throw a
net around your boat and Or
der you to get out2
IF this is the law and they
have a right to do this, I would
appreciate an excerpt from the
Maryland Code. If 1t is not
the law, I would appreciate a
report on what can be done to
prevent such action in the fu-
ture."
Called Morally Wrong
In his reply, Rafter said:
6. Although placing of a
seine around your boat and
ordering you to get out was
morally wrong, there was no
violation of existing fisheries
laws. You will note in Section
$50 (of the Maryland Code) a
net owner may order a boat to
leave a fishery during the shad
and herring season (January
through June 5, inclusive).
During the remainder of the
year he does not have this
right.
Normally the commercial
fishermen are most courteous
and, if a sports fisherman is in
an area used by METERS, he is
asked politely if he would mind

Able, Baker, Charlie, etc. Then,
in 1852, meteorologists, per-
haps inspired by the feminine
capriciousness Of the storms,
labeled them with women'S
names.
The first official hurricane
with a feminine given name
was Alice in 1858. 1t caused
little damage.
Through 1859 there was no
set pattern Of names. Seeming
ly any name Of feminine gen.
der was used. But in 1860 a
more formal approach was
adopted and four separate sets
of 81 names each were chosen.
Each of these sets is used in
rotation and not repeated dur
ing a four-year period. The
first year the new system was
tried, Donna, meaning lady,
proved to be the most ill-be-
haved Of the season. Destruc-
tive Donna, as she was re-
ferred to, Carla and Esther of
1861 and nasty tempered, hefty
Hazel of 1854 are names that
won't be used to identify hur-
ricaneS in the near future.
Reuse Of any Of the more
notorious names could create
confusion among those who
might think radio warnings
were mere historical references
to past storms. Insurance
claims and other problems as
ISOLATED with these major hur-
ricane disasters are, in many
instances, still unsettled, anc
use of the same infamous names
could complicate evidence OF
testimony.

A couple of veteran Prince
Georges County anglers recent
Ily had an experience in East
ern Bay that left them greatly
vexed, to say the least.
They took their problem to
the Maryland Tidewater Fish
cries Commission and the re-
sulting correspondence left
them a little frustrated.
The exchange OF. letters at
least threw a little light on
the standing of the sports fish
erman with the State of Mary
land and the commission as
against the commercial fisher
man. And to the surprise of
practically no one, the standing
of the sports fisherman is pref
ty small in this company, de-
spite the great amounts of
money he turns loose in the
State year after year in pursuit
Of his hobby.
Haul Seiner Appears
Raymond w. Radcliffe of
4108 Edmonston road, a vice
president of the Hyattsville
Chapter of the Izaak Walton
League, and Russ Wheeler of
College Heights had been fish
ling through several afternoon
hours in the mouth of Eastern
Bay. After an unproductive
morning they had Just started
catching some nice pan-sized
rocKfish.
At that point a haul seiner
came out, put a mile-long seine
around their boat and then Or
Tered the two sport fishermen
to get out.
Radcliffe reported the incl
dent to the board and presi-
dent of his chapter of the
Izaak Walton League and was
authorized to query Roy Rafter,
chief Of the Enforcement Divi-
sion of the Tidewater Fisheries
Commission on their rights of
sports fishermen in such a
situation.

screamed, blew and spewed
torrential rains for five weeks.
Each year in the United
States we're threatened by an
average of eight tropical cy-
clones with winds sufficiently
violent to rank them as hurri-
canes. In 1890 and again in
1914 only one hurricane was
recorded, but the year 1888
made up for a number of mild,
nearly storm-free seasons with
81 hurricanes.
Hurricanes and typhoonS
are basically the same snarling,
gusty breed, but they bear
names based on their geo.
graphic origins. Hurricane
stems from the Spanish hura-
can meaning devil wind" or
"evil wind" while typhoon is
traced to the Chinese phrase
tai flung, meaning great
wind"
Though symbolic warnings,
two square red flags with black
centers, displayed by day and
a white light between two red
lights at night, indicate winds
of 81 knots or more, this We
lccity is the minimum expec-
fancy for a hurricane. A high
velocity recording of over 200
knots occurred on Labor Day,
1895, when q short-lived cy-
clone shrieked over the Florida
Keys carrying with it a "a
foot-high wall Of water in its
forbiddingly calm, low-pressure
center.
The destructiveneSs Of hur-
ricanes affects both coastal
and inland areas. Storm waves,
flood-breeding torrential rains
spread havoc from coastal re-
gions inland. Joint co-opera-
ton of the United States
Weather Bureau, Navy and Air
Force using modern sensitive
weather instruments has es-
tablished and effective early
warning system. Loss of life
and property damage has been
drastically reduced.
Lack Of name identity Of
tropical cyclones often led to
confusion. Two or more hur-
ricanes sometimes developed
simultaneously and when these
violent storms occurred in
nearly adjacent areas, warn
ing information concerning
storm direction and character
istics was misleading. So, in
1851 and 1852 these cyclonic
swirlS bred in the hot, moist
air masses Of tropical ocean
waters were designated by the
phonetic alphabetical names,
