July 23rd.)<lb /><lb />In my former letter I promised to<lb />make some report at next writing of<lb />what the oold man� could do a-fishing,<lb />The person who comes to Ocracoke<lb />and donTt go fishing misses lots of fun.<lb />I have been out three times so far and<lb />oUncle John� Cherry is the only one<lb />of our crowd who has gone ahead of<lb />the oold man� in point of numbers, and<lb />twice when oUncle John� didnTt yo the<lb />oold man� led his boat. Dink James<lb />didnTt care to have it told that he wes<lb />the oJonah� of the ship and caught<lb />only two, but it is too good to keep.<lb /><lb />But talking about fishing, Louis<lb />Skinner holds the championship for<lb />catching the largest. He and George<lb />Harrison were out yesterday when<lb />Louis caught a 40 pound drum, and<lb />George olanded one that weighed 20<lb />pounds.<lb /><lb />The fare at the hotel is the best I<lb />ever found here, and the attention to<lb />the guests is all that could be wished.<lb />The dining room is in charge of Mirs<lb />Ella Houston, a cinadian, whose eqtal<lb />cannot be found. She can get around<lb />in more places to see that the guests<lb />are promptly served than any one |<lb />ever saw, and she is praised by all.<lb />Most of the waiters are white girls<lb />from the island and they make excel-<lb /><lb />~| Jent ones.<lb /><lb />I keep a pretty good eye open to see<lb />what the Greenviie crowd is doing, as<lb />their movements will be of most inter-<lb />est to the home folks.<lb /><lb />T have already told that a Greenville<lb />girl 1s the most popular one here. And<lb />the mostall all-round popular man<lb />hails. from the same quarter in the per-<lb />son of Dink James, The young folks<lb />and the married folks gather around<lb />him every night and make him lead an<lb />old fashioned quadrille or two and. call<lb />figues for them. No feature of the<lb />dances here seems more enjoyed than<lb />this. As I write now his clear, merry<lb />voice is heard ringing oswing corners<lb />all� above the lively strains of music<lb />and scraping of feet.<lb />~ And another Greenville boy is dis.<lb />tinguishing himselfhere too. Let me<lb />speak it softly. for fear of giving him<lb />away, but Ed. Flanagan can do court.<lb />T Ting enough for the whole crowd.

The spread wes superb and<lb />the bill of fare would have done credit<lb />to Delmonico.<lb /><lb />Proprictor George Credle donTt let<lb />the guests grovT dull around Hotel<lb />Ponder. If there seems to be a lgg in<lb />other lines of amusement he gathersa<lb />crowd around him and keeps them in<lb />an uproar with his dry, witty jokes.<lb /><lb />There are bathing and sailing parties<lb />out eyery evening, and Ocracoke is<lb />truly delignttul. Eyery boat brings<lb />new artivals,<lb /><lb />Three young men from Newbern<lb />came here on their bicycles this morn-<lb />ing and mare a remarkable trip. They<lb />are R. S. Primrose, Thos. Daniels and<lb />Ellis Williams. They started from<lb />Beaufort at 9 oTclock last night making<lb />the run by moonlight along the beach, |<lb />covering the distance of 63 miles in four<lb />hours. With the wind fuir behind<lb />them they made the last 30 miles in<lb />one-and-a-half hours. They arrived at<lb />Portsmouth at one oTclock and got a<lb />boat to bring them across the inlet.<lb /><lb />Ed. Flanagan distinguished himself<lb />in another particular atso. Just after<lb />an early supper one evening,<lb /><lb />out his record for orushing� two girls<lb />3 S<lb /><lb />lat a time he took a couple of them out<lb /><lb />rowing. Seating the pair of fair ones<lb />on the stern of the boat, Ed. took the<lb />oars and rowed away with as pompous<lb />an air as if he had been captain of the<lb />Yale crew. With a strong flood tide<lb />wud a brisk wind both in his favor Ed-<lb />shot the boat away ata 3 minute gates<lb />The livtle craft flying off so rapidly be-<lb />fore the tide and wind riveted the at-<lb />tention of fa crowd gathered on the<lb />hotel balconies, for they well knew the<lb />young man was going to catch it<lb />wheh he turned about to come back.<lb />And their surmising was right. Little<lb />more than half a mile out the boat<lb />turned, and Ed made e few strokes<lb />with as much grace as when he was<lb />going out, but seeming to stand pertect-<lb />ly still he looked around to see if some-<lb />thing was holding the boat and began<lb />pulling harder. Still it wouldnTt come<lb />and the oarsmau grew serious and the<lb />girls began to look anxious. Taking<lb />in the situation Ed realized if that boa-<lb />got back somebody had to do some pul<lb /><lb />Ife tugged away awhile longer<lb />and sned his coat and the crowd at the<lb />hotel began to smile. Ed stuck up for<lb />nearly an hour when he managed to<lb /><lb />ling.<lb /><lb />reach a yacht lying at anchor ia the<lb />harbor and hired one of the crew to<lb />row the party ashore. It donTt do to<lb />ask him too often how he likes rowing,<lb /><lb />D. J.
