Cat Island
(Continued from Page 25) island but her and Matt.
She resented the blackout regulation of World War II which put a crimp in her floundering, but Matt ingeniously worked out a light that could not be seen above and Cora continued her floundering and fishing.
The Brownings remained on Cat Island during World War II when the government took it over. On the East Beach the Seabees practiced landing craft maneuvers. North Point was a bombing practice range for the Air Force. And the whole island was the training ground of the K-9 corps — 400 dogs and 200 trainers. The attack dogs tracked actual Japs through Cat Island’s palmettos and Spanish oak and marsh grass. They were actual Japs padded for the purpose, friendly Japs from Hawaii who were paid and enjoyed the work. The patrol dogs were trained to carry messages to and from certain points no matter how many times the points were changed. Yes, Cat Island became Dog Island for several years until peace came to the nation and tranquility back to the island. There are still the foundations of the dog kennels left on the island, a reminder that when war was over many a fine dog had to be de-
trained — taught not to attack, as he once had been taught to attack. One of these K-9 Corps dogs belonged to the Brownings and is still in their possession.
Which brings us, in the career of Cat Island, almost to the present and to the next unturned page in its continued story — the plans of Nathan Boddie and his associates to transform this bit of sub-tropical beauty into a different and distinctive offshore residential and recreational area.
Two distinctly different methods of development are currently on the drawing boards for Cat Island.
One is a causeway with the interior bayous being opened to provide home sites along the oak and pine ridges, your boat at your door just minutes away from the open Gulf, and a full recreational development of the Gulf beach frontage.
The other is to provide a relaxing place of enjoyment with atmosphere of the late 1800’s tempered by modern conveniences. This development would include a paddle wheel ferry boat, a recreational center and a tour of the restored historical spots including the Pirates and Smugglers era, along with an unexcelled nature study showing all types of wild life in their natural environment. ★
