Boat Captains
For Fun /
During the past week four
boat trips to the gulf have resulted
in each craft coming in
with flags flying to show that
two sailfish were aboard. This
happened four times out of six
trips in five days, and on the
other two ships a single sevenfoot
sail was caught each time.
Boats making the catches of
two a day were, The Sea Girl,
twice; Torobil and Mildred.
The Mildred, just recently arrived
here from Wrightsville to
fish, is owned and operated by
Captain Bob Roberts. His mate
is L. L. (Slatts) Bryant.
It seems that for this past
Sunday The Sea Girl, Torobil
and Mildred each had a party
booked and the parties for The
Sea Girl and Mildred flunked
out for some reason, failing to
show up.
So, Bob and Slatts decided
they would go out alone and
on their own to do some exploring.
Why not? At sea one

Congressman Clark Says Sc
Case Has Been Made Out flc
For Further Purchase
Of All; Await De- p
velopments re
WI
The Southeastern Construction D,
Company of Charleston, S. C., has
the contract for the building of ^
the section base at Ft. Caswell ^
and in a letter to parties here ^
this concern stated that they ce
wanted to use local labor as large- gc
ly as jossible. They stated that aj.
a representative will be here in a
week or ten days.
Information from various
sources indicates that the hold up I
in starting work is due to the
fact that the navy is seriously
considering the purchase of the
remaining 2326 acres of the Fort
Caswell property and staging a ~
really important development.
The situation as to whether or
not the Navy will buy the rest
of the property is well summed
up in a letter received this week ?
by W. B. Keziah secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, from Congressman
J. Bayarcl Clark. In
part, Mr. Clark said:
"As to whether the Navy will
or will not acquire all of Caswell,
we are in exactly the same position
of litigants and lawyers in
court who have offered all their
evidence and made all their argument,
and are just awaiting the
decision of the court. This proposal
has been fully developed before
the proper officials. They
know as much about the situa
tion as any one. We have two
high ranking Naval officials who
are strong advocates of purchasand
the matter has not only
been presented by me but also by
them, orally and in writing, to
the head, the Admiral who has
the final say. I can think of noth1
ing else we can do but await
his decision."

it, in general directions. He
was nursing her along. Captain ft
