Cape May to Test Electric Fish-Taking Gear Offshore The Cape May, a trawler experi menting with taking menhaden electronically, arrived in Morchead City Wednesday and hopes to get in several days of work in this area. /The trawler's engine broke down on its first trip Thursday and it has been tied up since at the state port. Aboard is Kurt Bacher, who has worked closely with Dr. Conradine Krcutzcr, inventor of methods of taking fish with electrical equip ment. In this country, the Snjith men haden enterprises have obtained exclusive right to use of Dr. Kreut ter's inventions. (In Carteret, the ). Howard Smith firm, with exten live fishing interests in New Jer ley, operates the Fish Meal Co.) The Smith boats, now fishing out If Beaufort, are all equipped with a shocking rig which drives fish to the mouth of a hose where they are then sucked up and into the hold. From Sept. 21 through Oct. 6, un derwater television observations were made of electro-fishing tests aboard the Cape May. The trawl er was working off New England on the southern part of the Stell wagen Bank. The work was done by the Bureau of Commercial Fish eries, US Fish and Wildlife Service, in cooperation with The Smith Re ? earch and Development Co., Lewes, Del. Mr. Bacher reports that Dr. Kreutzer's ultimate goal is the tak ing of menhaden without use of striker boats and nets. The Cape May hopes to do just that with equipment it has aboard now? if the weather cooperates and the engine gcty fixed.

Explorers on Silver Bay Find Many Clams Offshore Chief Says Beds May Be Commercial Source The Silver Bay, research trawler chartered by the Bu reau of Commercial Fisheries, caught 45 bushels of ocean clams in six hourtt Sunday about a mile east of Beaufort inlet. Francis J. Captiva, field party chief, says, "There's a good source of clams both east and west of the inlet." He ici iiicu uic supply (njiuiiudi mercial stock." The clams run about 4 inchcs in diameter and yield a gallon of meats per bushel. In New England, the type clam the Silver Bay is taking is known as the Quahog. Mr. Capliva said of the Silver Bay's success, "We've just touchcd a small area, using one small rake. What we did Sunday would be a good week's pay for two or three men on a shrimp vessel." The 45 bushels of clams were taken in a radius of about 200 yards. One half-hour tow yielded six-and-a-half bushels. The Silver Bay is using a Fall River dredge, a 14-tooth type used on small boats to sample clam beds. Mr. Captiva says that Silver Bay explorations indicate the clams are in four to six fathoms on both sides of Beaufort inlet, five to six miles to the west and as far east as Cape Lookout bight. The Silver Bay will be here until Dec. 16, but does not plan to take any more clams. It does hope, how ever, to determine the extent of the ocean clam beds, and then con tinue exploratory trawling for fin fish. The sea clams have been located in mud bottom, not sand. Mr. Cap tiva recalled the work of the ocean clam dredge, Monte Carlo, off Beaufort inlet in early 1958. The dredge turned up many ocean clams, but claimed there weren't a sufficient number for it to op erate profitably in this area. Mr. Captiva suggested that per h^a t*e mud, in which the clams I are found, clogged the Monte Car lo's dredging apparatus which con sisted of a huge hose that shot away the muck covering the clams so that the dredge could come be hind and pick them up. Mud, Mr. Captiva explains, does not affect the efficiency of the rake used by the Silver Bay. Sunday's clams were bought by See CLAMS, Page t Deputy Arrests Lester Johnson On Theft Counts Lester Johnson, route 2 Newport, was in the county jail yesterday, charged with breaking into and robbing three cottages at Ocean Ridge Saturday night; three cot tages at Pine Knoll Shores, one at Emerald Isle and stealing between $150 and $200 from the Pine Knoll Shores office Saturday night, Nov. 21. Sheriff Hugh Salter said Johnson was apprehended by deputy George Smith Sunday. Johnson's bond was set at $1,000. The money box stolen from the Pine Knoll Shores office was re covered at Johnson's home, as well as a spy glass taken out of one of the cottages. Whiskey was stolen from other cottages Johnson en tered. Sheriff Salter said that deputy Smith was making a routine check Saturday night at Ocean Ridge and, suspicious of a car parked in the area, he took down the license number. He checked the cottages Sunday and found that the R. C. Barnhart, J. B. Ayscue and Ber nard Taylor cottages had been en tered. Johnson was traced through the license number and was in jail by 6 p.m. Sunday. Sheriff Salter said Johnson is 24, married, has three children and no previous record. Cottages entered at Pine Knoll Shores were those of Grady E. Love, W. L. Cooper and J. L. Emanuel. Entered at Emerald Isle was the Spraguc Green cot tage. Johnson will be given a prelimi nary hearing in county court today. Crewmen aboard the Silver Bay caught 45 bushels of clams in six hours' work Sunday in the ocean east of Beaufort inlet. This picture shows the dim dredge being used and the net which holds the clams as another haul is swung aboard. (US Fish and Wild life Photos). Beaufort Welcomes the Shrewsbury Three mea who gvide the Shrewsbury on its menhaden .fishing trips ire left to right, Stanley Pittman, second engineer; Robert Reamy, mate; and John Mills Walker, pilot. As a salute to the men who have made Beaufort the winter Menha den Capital of the World, THE NEWS-TIMES, in cooperation with the Beaufort Merchants Associa tion, starts today a series of sturies on menhaden boat captains, crews and the boats. The information has been gathered by Jarvis Her ring and Holden Ballou, Beaufort Merchants Association members. Featured today is Capt. Wendell Gayle Haynie of the boat Shrews bury. You can easily spot the Shrewsbury. It's the only boat fishing out- of Beaufort that has two crow's nests. One was placed half way up the mast for the bene fit of Buck Davis, a former cap tain, who becausc of i i 1 n e a s couldn't climb the full height of the mast. Captain Haynie it Zt, a college man, is married and has two daughters, Gayle, 2H, and Rebecca Ann, 7 months. The Haynies make their permanent home in Reeds vllle, Va. Pilot tor the Shrewsbury is John Mills Walker. He and his wife and two children are from Sunny bank, Va. Robert Reamy, mate, comes from Edwardsville, Va.; Franklin Craig, chief engineer, hails from Reedsville, Va , and Stanley Pittman. second engineer, from Fairport, Va. In the crew are Garfield Conlcy, Harding Washington, Gilbert Pitt man, Rennie Carter, Ellis Flctch er, Clifton Conaway, Archie Toul son, cook; Arnold Conaway, strik er boatman; Theodore Bundlcy, Sam Elmore, Lawrence Campbell, Willis Crockett, Allan Day, James Lucas, Simon Dobyns, and Pierce Keyser. The Shrewsbury, owned by Fish Products Co., Lewes, Del., was built in 1950 and has a capacity of MO, 000 fish. Powered by an 800 horsc diescl, it is 130 foot S inches long and 22 W feet in the beam. The Shrewsbury, all steel hull, has a top speed of about 12 knots. The boat is equipped with a shock ing rig that drives fish to the end a bow. TIm hose then sucks them into the hold of the boat. This makes it unnecessary for the fish ermen to "harden" the net as much as is necessary under the older method of dipping the fish out of the seine and pouring them into the hold. The pump that lifts the fish is a 10-inch centrifugal that can put aboard 10,000 fish per minute. The Shrewsbury, tied up at the Texaco dock, Beaufort, is named for a river in New Jcresy. This is the second year the has fished out of Beaufort. Beaufort welcomes the Shrews bury and its crew, the members of their families, and hopes their stay here is both pleasant and profit able.
