The cool weather which prevailed Sunday and Monday apparently caused the shrimp to come together. At any rate, catches on the latter day were the best of the season. Tuesday was just about as good. As a result of the increase in shrimp, the picking sheds were crowded with workers on both nights, and several large trucks were loaded with iced boxes for northern markets.

However, due to the fact that there are more boats here than ever before, the of shrimo neared the all-time high for total number of boxes. On the eve of changed luck for local waters, a number of boats left Sunday night for Georgetown, S. C., where it was reported that good catches were made last week. When they receive news of improved conditions here, it is likely that they will return to Southport for the remainder of the season. RT PL >d Community 7uTl936 publish!
