With the danger of misleading anyone on the 1934 forecasts...

From its davits the President's special fishing launch splashed into the blue waters. All hands applauded when the President hooked, played and landed a 50 lb. ono (mackerel-like fish). Franklin Jr.'s ono had its tail snapped off by a shark as it was being pulled into the boat. A Marine evened things up by pulling out his gun, shooting the shark...
