Little Beach Fi Make A Saturday was the luckiest i day of the season for the fishing crew at Little Beach, five miles below Shallotte. At dawn the men arrived at the beach, expecting to be able to return to their home by noon and call it a day. The captain took his stand on the lookout, and almost instantly came his signal to the men to man the boat. Swiftly the crew went into action. Oars dipped; the seine spun from the boat stern. Straight out into the ocean they went, then a circle back to the beach.

Of this a little over 25 tons was shrimp. Yesterday's catch of shrimp i was the biggest of the season and the quality of the product also outranked any previous day's work this year. The Ben Gray, house led in the shipments with something over six tons, and the Ocean Seafood Company of Lewis J. Hardee had over five tons. Receipts and shipments at the several other houses varied down to the one ton of the North I Carolina Fisheries, inc. Yesterday was warm and I about the first pood fishing j weather in two weeks, despite I the fact that the boats have; been operating every day. It j happened that about 30 boats did not go out yesterday for various reasons. If all boats had gone some of the houses would have found themselves nearly! swamped last night. This may j happen today, for before sunrise! this morning about every boat1 that owns a shrimp trawl was on its way to the grounds. Around 125 trawlers are working today, additional craft hav-1 ing been coming in steadily for j sometime. Five Cases Are Tried In Court Cases Tried Wednesday Before Judge Joe W.
