At 5:00 a. rn., the Pollock car

Skipper car. Both cars were badly

established by Tatius, king of the
Sabines, and his temple in Rome

On the following day Captain
Watts was on the gulf with a
Chapel Hill party, composed of
A. S. Tufts, Ernest Neal, Arthur
Ward, E. W. Goodrich ana Harold
Gee. They brought in eleven bar
racuda and five amberjacks, the
16 fish averaging 25-pounds each.
