In air race terminology,'a “light plane” is practically anything that will fly, powered with an engine of not more than 190 cubic inches displacement. Currently being built and tested In all parts < ' the country are about 30 of these little speedsters, and air race officials say each of the backers is putting pet ideas into his design, with the result that each ship is “highly experimental” in performance. Or in the pilots' lingo, “hot to handle.” The event will be raced for e first time this year, to be known as the Goodyear trophy race, with a total of $25,000 in prizes.

Friday to early Saturday morning. Fears of the group heightened as the seas tore the rudder from its bearings and a falling tide threatened to carry the craft to sea. Making the trip were Mr. and Mrs. Lewis J. Baisch and daugh ter, Caroline Marie, of Louisvile, Ky.; a brother, Robert Baisch and wife, 112 Vance street, Maffit Vil lage, Mrs. Caroline Wolfe and son Tommy, Sunset Park; John Merc er, Wrightsville Beach; this re porter, his wife and Raymond Porter, Seagate, and Avison. The trip started as a fishing expedition- off Wrightsville with the party intent on trolling for blues within sight of shore. At 5 o’clock it was decided to make a run for Topsail, fish South Topsail for drum then return by way of the Atlantic Intercoastal waterway. Shortly after going aground the craft began to leak as heavy seas weakened rivets in the bow. Taking water heavily it was de cided by those aboard to make a last superhuman effort to free the crait. The men aboard were able to guide the boat, with the assistance of the motor, over a distance of 100 yards but without a rudder the craft was not navigable and continually went aground. No other recourse than attempt to ]>dd the craft in one position faced the group and the men plac ed human strength against heavy, seas as the boat continued to take a beating. At 3 in the morning the craft had been moved, by human strength, out of the inlet into the sound surrounding the marsh lands. A temporary hand rudder was rigged and the party was able 1o make shore under power of the boat. While the battle against the tide was taking place the two children wTere lashed into bunks and the women in the party held onto rig gings as the seas washed over the craft. Reaching shore the party was able to dry out several matches —cigarettes were gone as was the food by that time—and a fire was built to dry clothing. The boat had been docked on South Topsail near the old Coast | Guard station and the party took ! to one of the old buildings for i shelter. | With the dawn a tired group continued to ponder a way out of i the situation. In the meantime Porter had contrived a steering apparatus but low tide had caught the boat at I its mooring place so nothing was I left to do but wait for the craft to float as the waters raised. An outboard motorboat carrying j two fishermen came to the sound j and supplied the party with eggs, ! bacon, bread, coffee and smokes at a time when it looked as though the next meal was hours away, if ever. Several planes had flown over head, circling' low and efforts; were made to attract their atten tion. To make matters worse the bat tery had been become wet and had shorted out making it impos sible to start the motor. The two fishermen offered th ! services of their craft and the bat tery was taken to Hampstead for repair. Telephone calls were made to Wrightsville Beach to inform relatives of those aboard of the situation and it was learned the Coast Guard had been called into the search for the missing party. A craft from the Wrightsville Marine Ways was dispatched by the Coast Guard and water, sand wiches, soft drinks were brought to the stranded group. Assistance was offered and sev eral of the party were returned to Wrightsville by the aiding craft, the balance of the party making their way down the water way ala the Volga Boatman as it moved along slowly ith ’a hand rudder being handled by Avison as Porter fed the gas. As to the fishing angle of the story. After the party had been placed : into the safety of the old coast | Guard structure Leis Baisch — he is the gent who caught the 66 pound amberjack off Southport in 1940—gave the surf a try. Baisch landed a 34 pound chan- ! nel bass, a flounder and several blues while your writer was happy to hook two small puppy drum. However Baisch kept up his rec ord of getting the ‘big ‘un’.
