By AYCOCK BROWN
CERO FISHING LAST week-end
was very good. Since then no large
catches have been reported by local
guides. Capt. George Lewis of the
party boat Squeaky called me on
Friday night at 11 o'clock, out of a
sound sleep to tell me that his par
ty had caught 19. during the day.
One of the members of his party was
Jesse McWilliams of Norfolk, brother-in-law
of County Attorney Alvah
Hamilton. Jesse McWiiiiams' father
was once- the keeper of Portsmouth
Coastguard station. He is a native of
Carteret county.
CAPT. JESS PAGELS carried Ce
cil W. Taylor of Washington, D. C,
and a party of friends out one day
on the week-end and landed four Ce
ro, their total weight being 90
pounds. Mr. Taylor, an employee of
the U. S. Treasury Department comes
to North Carolina twice a year for
the fishing. His favorite game fish is
channel bass and his favorite place
to catch them is Ocracoke. He went
on down to Ocracoke after that day
out of Beaufort Inlet among the
Cero.

First Auto-Boat
Wreck On Record
Everyone who has heard a
bout the wreck say it it the
first time they have ever heard
of such a thing, .so it must be
the first crash of its kind on
record. Last Saturday after
noon, Aycock Brown, editor of
this newspaper while driving
from Stacy to Beaufort, lost
control of the car and it went
over an embankment into a
canal, striking a 16-foot skiff
owned by Edwin Fujlcher of
Stacy. The skiff was demoli
shed. The car was damaged
considerably. Aycock Brown,
who was alone in the car, was
bruised up a bit, his principal
injuries being, sprained, liga
ments near the base of his
neck. People hereabouts have
heard of automobiles going out
of control and colliding with
other cars, or leaving the road
and crashing into houses, fen
ces, telephone poles, cows hor
ses and hogs.. but no one had
ever heard of one crashing in
to a boat, .until last Saturday.
More
Big
Good Free Acts

offer their exhibitions of skill
and agi'iity on trapese high a

are well worth a visit to Beau

plays on Atlantic Beach when

mother in tac ' Man Killer
From India" tent on tVo O. C.
Buck Exposition Midway at
the Carteret County Fair night
before last. The bebies and
mother are getting along as
well as could be expected un
der the circumstances and that
is excellent. The biggest trouble
the custodian of the tent is
having is to keep the babies in
their bed of excelsior. . They
are very active and wiggle
from their bed if a careful
watch is not . kept over them.
The babies are almost black,
very unlike their brown water

also be taken to keep the other
snakes in the tent from eating
