Big Catches
Of Fish Are
Being Made
Over Half Million
Pounds Caught
This Week
A conservative estimate would
put the total catch of fish caught a
long the Carteret coast during tha
past week at over a half million
pounds, according to Leslie C. Davis,
local dealer, ne Daseu ms
the fact that of eight dealers in At
lantic, Beaufort and Morehead City,
including N. C. Fisheries, Inc., each
handled over 700 baxes or a total of
approximately 6,000 which at an av
"erage weight of 100 pounds each
would total over a half million
pounds.
The biggest catch of the week was
probably that made by Stacy Davis
and crew who hauled in 36,000
pounds of spots in Core Sound on
Tuesday. Capt. Kelly Willis and
rew of Harkers Island made a 30,
000 pound haul this week which ad
ded to a 50,000 pound haul made by
them a few days ago gives them an
edge on the number of pounds tak
en by any one crew. But spots are
not the only species of fish being
taken in numbers at this time.
Directly in front of the Pavilion
on Atlantic Beach yesterday Capt.
Lon Willis and crew of Morehead
City landed 5,000 pounds of mullets,
which is considered very . good but
not exceptional at this season. The
exceptional thing about their catch
was the landing of a 50 pound tar
pon, which Mayor Newman Willis of
Atlantic Beach took, saying that he
was going to have the net-caught
game fish mounted.
Thousands of pounds of blue fish
have been landed in the Salter Path
area during the week, and exception
ally good catches of mackerel, trout,
croakers, sea mullets, grey and
speckled trout have also been report
ed. It is hard to estimate the amount
in dollars that the catches have net
ted, but it has all meant better times
for the fishermen along the coast of
Carteret.

THE NORWEGIAN M. S. Fern
wood which sailed from Morehead
City Port Terminal last April with a
cargo of scrap metal consigned to
Japan, made the trip without a mis
hap. She returned to the United
States and loaded another cargo (not
scrap metal) in Camden, Charleston
and Mobile and is at present again
enroute to Japan. But before the
vessel cleared from Camden, her
crew staged a sit-down strike, say
ing they would not make any cruise
to belligerent Japan, unless they re
ceived a bonus of $250 for the trip.
Apparently they got their bonus, be
cause a Luria Brothers representa
tive saw the vessel in Mobile week
before last as she was getting ready
to clear for the Far East.. but she
was carrying no scrap metal. The
Fernwood was one of the best scrap
metal carriers to call at the Port Ter
minal. Her Skipper, Capt. Ambjorn
sen, was a real host and his main sal
oon aboard the vessel was a beautiful
layout, paneled with mahogany, thick
rugs on the decking, and a bookcase
full of books for the crew.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
HERE LED IN FIGHT
Representative Graham A.
Barden wired The Chamber of
Commerce here last Friday
that U. S. Army engineers had
definitely approved the Drum
Inlet project. Work on the
project will start in the Spring
and it is estimated that it will
cost approximately $50,000 to
dredge a 12-foot channel; 200
feet wide at the inlet. When
completed it will mean that the
fishing fleet of Carteret will
not have to wait for favorable
tides to reach Raleigh Bay,
said to be the best fishing
grounds along the coast.
Ever since the September hurri
cane of 1933 re-opened the inlet, ef
forts have been made by Carteret
County as a whole, led by the com
munity of Atlantic and supported by
the Chamber of Commerce of Beau
fort to have the improvements made
U. S. Army Engineers turned the pr
posal down flat prt at least two oc
casions, fattfc Representative Grahatn
A. Barden, of the Third Congres
sional District who is larjjly respon
sible for the ap - ... r. ;ver gave JIJ.
the fight. Less than a month ago h'
visited Drum Inlet with Brigadiee
General Max C. Tyler, assistant chief
of the U. S. Engineers, Major Georga
W. Gillette of Washington and
Major Ralph Millis of the Wilmington
office of the U. S. Engineers. Their
visit to the site where they saw. witn
their own eyes the need for improve
ments is believed to have been ah im
portant factor in getting the "final
approval.
Senator Josiah W. Bailey has also
been long interested in the project
and has lent his enfluence for appro
val. During the years that the im
provements were sought every com
munity in East Carteret through re
solutions or representatives at hear
ings held at different times fought
for the project. At every hearing
also, The Chamber of Commerce of
Beaufort had representaitves. The
Chamber of Commerce of Beaufort
also preseted resolutions at the Hear
ings, co-sponsoring the improvements
along with the communities of East
Capt. James R. Morris, tha leading
citizen of Atlantic also played a lead
ing role in securing the improve
ments for Drum Inlet. He is pro
bably the man who . visualized the
whole thing in the beginning, and
his close friendship with such mem
bers of Congress as Senator Bailey
and Congressman Barden, kept tho
fight going.
