Newt has just reached The Beaufort Newt that a blue marlin weighing 286 pounds was landed off Cape Hatterat this week, the third to be taken with rod and reel in that section and the only fish of the species ever taken north of Bimini. The catch was made by Washington, D. C, party and details were lacking as we go to press. S AILFIS. Contrary to a report pub lished in The News and Ob server on Tuesday, (under a Morehead City dateline), it was Vick Knight of Greens boro, who actually caught the first sailf ish of the season off Cape Lookout, according to Capt. Tony Seamon, skip per of the ship-shore radio phone equipped Gulf Stream fishing cruiser "Monnie M of Morehead City. . . The Newt and Observer ttory indicated that a Carroll Etkmi landed the fish. Caroll Elkinson of Greensboro was a member of the party on the Monnie M. when the fish was landed and it was hit rig which Knight wat using, but full credit for the catch goes to Vick Knight because he was hold ing the tackle when the fish struck and incidentally brought it to gaff within a half hour.

Carteret County's o toast INext Monday (Special Wireless ia Trop ical Radio To The Beau fort News) By BOOKIE MACE Aboard Cruiser "Tarheel of Beaufort" Bimini, BWL, July 24. The two blue mar lin hooked by Dick Dickinson and myself while trolling in the Gulf Stream off Bimini last Wednesday night was the second known marlin double-header. That is it was the second time that two fish have been hooked at the same time and succassfully brought to gaff by anglers aboard the same boat. The fish were hooked at 7:15 P. M. Dick played his fish from that time until 9:35 without leav ing his chair. Sharks chased Dick's marlin, which ran off 600 yards and before the fish was landed we were in two rain squalls and it had gotten very dark. The dark ness and rain squalls hindered fishing as other boats nearby stood by until his fish was landed, Dick's marlin weighed 380 pounds and was cut by small shark. Ho was using 39-thread line. To keep the fish from cutting lines our guide supported my rod while I landed the 370-pounder within 30 minutes after it struck. My reel was loaded with 54 thread line. Since the guide assisted me my fish probably, is not a fair catch. Editor's Note: Bookie Mace who sent in the foregoing dispatch by wireless had telephoned from aboard the cruiser as we were go ing to press last week' a bulletin of the outstanding catch. Mace is the son of Mrs W. A. Mace, of Beau fort, a student at the University of North Carolina and .on the (Continued o Page 8) Rotary Officials Gather For 189th J. D. Mizzelle, Jr. Died Early Today.

"Those kids don't know it but they are wasting the most precious thing in the world", said Roy who is associate editor of National Geographic Magazine. "Water," he said, "is worth its weight in gold in many parts of the world." Of course here in Beau fort where water is plentiful it is not valued very highly.
