SOUTHPORT SklPPER
(Contirfued From Page one)
swimming deep and invisible to
either plane or boats. The next
hour they may be on the surface
of the water, or very near it.
The fish are literally where you
find them, and you only find them
by constant looking. One hour
the surface of the sea may be
barren and the next great schools
may be spotted by whoever may
be at a vantage point with eyes
to see.
A Daily Ttusk
Each morning at 7 o'clock, ex^
jcept in impossible weather a little
! plane begins crusing afound over
! Southport fishing water. Hie boats
are out there, maintaining a semi
alert lookout. Hie plane is their
j main dependance.
j Sometimes the veteran fisher
jmen on the boats direct the plane
| pilot to look in certain areas.
More of the time he is on his
| own to find fish.
i When a school of fish is spot
ted by the pilot he circles around
jto determine the number of fish.
If the school is worth taking he
dips the wings of the plane and
the boat or boats come rushing
in for the take. If the school is
not worth the trouble the plane
cruises off in search of better
I fishing.
Except in that it gives them
quick directions, the boats pay
| little attention tn the way of
watching the cruising plane. Plane
pilot and boats are in constant
i touch with each other by phone.
On the surface of the water and
in the air, boat captains and plane
pilot know what is going on with
each other.
The "Come in please," over the
phone from the pilot to the boats
is responded to on the Instant, re
gardless of how distant they may
be from each other.
When the first boat races in
to take the school the plane in
dicates its exact location and then
cruises around in search of an
other school for the next boat
to arrive in the area. Frequent
ly there are a bunch of schools
in a small area and the plane
picks out one for each boat and
waits its arrival.
If it is a lone school and this
fact is ascertained in the prelimi
nary cruising and circling only,
one boat is called in. There is noj
need to bring on the pack.

I Coordination
The Brunswick a big 136-foot
former Navy minesweeper, in
command of Captain John Potter,
a young- Southporter, is said to
be especially good in its coordin- ?
ation work with the plane.
Fourteen knots about 16 miles j
per hour is easy cruising speed
?for the Brunswick. If she is not,
already loading she is the fastest
to respond to the "Come in j
please."
The converted Navy boat is
said to have been founds ideal in j
every way for use in the menhad- <
en fishing industry. Another iden
tical boat to tlie Brunswick is)
now being converted at the fac-j
tory and will be in readiness to
start fishing the first of Novem
ber.
The plane, cruising around all
morning spoting fish and direct
ing the boats to come in, some
times ggts ahead of them. All
may be "feeding" on its finds.
At such times the plane may
itself "come in," landing at Long
Beach o'r Holden Beach, taking
on fuel, getting a cup of coffee or
having lunch. But when the boats
are needing fish the plane is in
the air again, the pilot chatting
with the boats as he cruises
around, looking for something
that will change the chatter to
I the moreurgent business call 6f
"Come in."
. The plane stays all day or un
til the last boat has made its
'catch and is homeward bound.
Often R. P. Plaxco, manager of
the Brunswick Navigation Comp
any, which operates the factory,
goes up with the pilot, Hall Wat
ers of Wilmington.
More often he is alone, with
: every energy directed towards
J finding fish and always alert to
| the moment when he can send
out his call to the boats to "Come
Jin."

and all rooms open, the Ocean
View Tavern of Dr. R. H. Hold
en Beach is getting started with
a nice little bit of fall and-winter
patronage. As has already been i
said, this hotel is small but mod
ern. The furniture is the best that
could be bought and the kitchen
is said to have one of the best
cooks in the county. Hunters'and
fishermen will find the place a
great conveience during the win
ter months.
Some folks complain at the re
tail price of shrimp. They say 4t
ctists nothing to grqw this food
stuff, as it does in the case of
beef, chickens and pork. All that
is quite true. It costs nothing to
grow shrimp, but in addition to a
great many smaller and cheaper'
boats, Southport people own about
50 trawlers that are worth from
ten to twenty-five thousand dol
lars each. These boats had 'to be
built or bought. The business they
engage in is a dangerous one that
none of the boat owners can af
ford to pay the fancy insurance,
rates that companies ask for such
risks. The fellow who raises
chickens does not have to pay
$25,000.00 for a tool to catch
them with. On top of that it may
be pointed out that the boatman
and the original buyer do not get
one-half of the money that the
consumer has to pay for shrimp.
To interest former Postmaster
L. T. Yaskell and Post-master
Wilbur Dosher of Wilmington,
both of whpm are now vacation
ing down hefe, Slim Osborn came
in Friday and told of catching a
really big-mouth bass. The fish,
he says, weighed eight pounds
and eleven ounces. We would not
have believed him if he had not
added that he canght it out of
our own favorite fish hole.
Every two weeks a quite couple

the -night at the Camellia Inn.
Next morning by daylight they
will be getting breakfast at
Mack's J^nd sunriaf finds them

Mrs. D. W. Sabiston of Gause

people have been making nice
catches of red drum and puppy
drum at Gause Landing during
the past few weeks. R. C. Brown
of Fayetteville and his son-in-law,
Lt. Col. Norman Youngblood of
Fort Bragg have been the most
successful fishermen. TTiey go out
about every week and always
(bring in a dozen or more of the
big fish.
E. Carl Sink, feature writer
with the State News Bureau,.is
getting much intrigued with the
prospect of winter commercial
fishing off Southport. This busi
ness was pioneered late last win
ter by Captain Meritt Moore of

Lancaster of the Sea Fighter.
They found good fishing grounds
way off-shore and plenty of fish.

boats going out this winter will
make a lot of publicity, he thinks.
Incidently, a lot of pictures are
now being made ready for that
publicity.

right on that. The Reigel cows are
from India's sacred cows, but
that does not prevent them from
being just as mean as the devil.
A lot of pictures of the Reigel

, A pleasing letter received this
I week was from Mrs. Eleanor Bar
I ber of Charlotte. Mrs. Barber with
i her three red-headed daughters
! and equally red-headed son spent
'all summer at Long Beach to es
I cape the polio. Mr. Barber came
J down by plane or otherwise on
the week-ends. Mrs. Barber says
they will be back next summer,
meanwhile they are all getting a
kick out of the weekly visits of
The Pilot to their home in Char
jlotte. Since the matter of red
heads is brought up here, it is
only fair to say here that the old
man himself is just as red head
ed as Mrs. Barber and any of
the children.
During the past two or three
weeks a large number of farm
ers have been interviewed with
regard to what they thought of
this year as a crop year. None
has been found who did not free
ly claim that it has been an all
round good year. About all crops
have done well, prices have been
good and there is general satis
faction with the economic con
ditions, according to the react
ions that have been met up with
| It may be said here that when
reactions from farmers seem to
be good, they are really good.
When a farmer has anything to
complain about he really com
plains. The fact that none seems
to be complaining this year can
be put down to mean that things
are really good.
