MRS. SALLIE AUSTIN FISHES AT AGE OF 88
She Saw Yellow Butterfly, Then Caught Her First Fish
Wanchese- The old folks on Hatteras have long considered a yellow butterfly as an omen of good luck. That is what Mrs. Sallie Austin, age 88, said here this week and she had good reasons for saying it. Mrs. Austin, visiting relatives in Wanchese, was invited to go fishing by Capt. Jesse Etheridge aboard his cruiser-yacht, Caredwynn. Although a resident of fish-famous Hatteras and the widow of a commerical fisherman, it was her first sports fishing trip,with rod and reel. Throughout her 88 years she had never caught a fish. Trolling in lower Roanoke Sound, Mrs. Austin sitting in a boat chair at the Caredwynn's stern suddenly exclaimed, " I know I'm going to catch a fish now!" "How do you know?" asked Capt. Etheridge. "On account of that yellow butterfly which just flew by," she replied. "They bring good luck," Hardly had she made the statement before there was a tug on her line. She started reeling in her fish. "I thought I had a horse on the end of that line, it was about the hardest work I ever did," she said later. After a few minutes of reeling her fish, a striped bass, surfaced near the stern. Capt. Etheridge dipped the fish from the water. This first fish ever taken with rod and reel by 88-year-old Mrs. Austin was weighed after Caredwynn returned to its berth in Wanchese harbor. It weighed five pounds and one ounce. During the afternoon of fishing Mrs. Austin also caught another fish, a trout that weighted about one and a half pounds. Other members of the party also caught fish, but the elderly lady from Hatteras who had never been fishing before, caught the largest one reeled in during the fishing trip.
