A two weeks stay at Southport led him to believe that Frying Pan Shoals offered all in sport fishing that could be desired of any point on the eastern coast. Accordingly, he has been making plans to base here for this and future summers. The Tarobil has ship to shore phones, twin screws, a fine little galley and sleeping accommodations for four. She carries a beautiful set of outriggers and is completely equipped with tackle, ranging up to the heaviest reels and rods. _ . -j The Pilot Covers Brunswick County r SI.50 PER YEAR | Lucas Scheduled As Speaker For Jackson Dinner Senator Scott W.
