...star pitcher of Shelburne's baseball team. Lately he pitched a no-hit, no-run game against Lockeport. Last week Alfred Kenney gained greater kudos. All summer he had been hearing about the sport-only a few years old in Nova Scotia-of catching giant bluefin tuna ("horse mackerel" to old salts) on rod & reel.

News travels slowly from Puerto Vallarta, an isolated fishing village hemmed in by coast ranges, but last week the captain of a tuna boat radioed a brief account of the Tira's odyssey. Although the Tira had an auxiliary Diesel motor, the boys had journeyed entirely under sail. After many days at sea they put in at Magdalena Bay, near the tip of Lower California, but the Mexican coast guard sent them...
