Pilot Boat Is Burned Today Off Bald Head The little pilot boat of the Wilmington Cape Fear Pilot Association was completely destroyed by flames at 1:80 o'clock this afternoon as Pilot Robert Thompson and Engineer Harry Weeks were between Bald Head Island and Ft. Caswell on their way in from putting Captain Tommie St. George aboard a ship. It is not known how the flames started, but when they were discovered the fire extinguisher was brought into play. It soon was apparent that the craft was too far gone, so the two men were forced to go overboard and await the approach of a rowboat manned by Robert Johnson and Leonard St. George. Shortly thereafter other boats were on the scene, including the large pilot boat and a boat from Oak Island coastguard station.

The capture of such fish in the commercial nets is not unusual, although the boats try to avoid them. The presence of the tarpon in considerable numbers would apparently indicate good fishing for some man experienced in tarpon fishing. Bill Sharpe of the State Publicity Department syndicated several pictures last week showing catches of barracuda made at Southport. The pictures were made by W. B. Keziah.
