A de- Oat-Of-Town Visitors To Attend Cabaret A number of out-of-town visi- tors are expected to be in Key West tomorrow night to attend the cabaret that is to be given by the Woman’s Club. Among those who have wired friends in Key West of their in- tention to come is Miss Annie Cal- vey Tye, of Tallahassee, friend of Mrs. Lillian Connally.

He ‘went through the same maneuvers with the intention of mounting the fish‘ and riding him while cameramen filmed the se- quence. It was during this exhi- bition that the captain narrowly escaped serious injury, possibly’ death. Astride of the terror it began a series of gyrations in an effort to unseat the captain. After a struggle which lasted more than an hour he succeeded, but only aft. er large patches of cuticle had been scraped from the captain’s legs by the rough hide of the fish.

They came to Key West for the purpose of.: inspecting exposure tests being made at the naval sta- tion by the: American Society of Testing Materials.’ As guests of Lieutenant W. B. Jackson and L. M. Pierce, they went out for a half day’s sport. 5 When they returned about 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon they brought one of the hest catches of the season. In. the take were barracuda, mackerel, bonito, biack | grouper and jack. They were all surprised at the number of excellent fish caught in such a:short: period. Before leaving yesterday afternoon, Dr. McDonnell said he had enjoyed an afternoon of the best sport he had had in many. years. * Mr. Schramm, an angler, said-he had seen fish caught in quantities, but never. had he seen: sich a catch in so short a period of time. With his movie cameta he recorded several} hundred inthes of film taking in the members of the group, Mrs. Jackson and daughter, Nancy, and also of the fish which were on the rack. et i Catching lots of fish is no new thing to Mr.-Pierce, who is recog- nized as one’ of Key West’s most successful anglers.
