DARE TO HONOR
HEROES OF SEA
ANOTHER YEAR
Surfmen To Meet Next in
County That Played Greatest
Part in Development of
Coast Guard

The Surfmen'S Mutual Bene-
fit Association. an organlza-
ton, as its name implies, de-
voted to the welfare of men,
bers of the old Life Saving Ser
vice or Coast Guard vii be 29
years old next summer. 1t had
its inception in Dare County,
which has more Coast Guard
stations, and has given more
men 10 this service than any
other American County.
In the nearly 80 years the Asso-
citation has served the Coast Guard,
it has never met in the county that
has figured so greatly in the devel-
opment of what is now known as
the Coast Guard. For it is largely
due to an event that happened 30
years ago this fall, that the Coast
Guard has developed into the great
organization it is today.
That tn eSurfmen in annual ses-
sion at Virginia Beach this week
voted to hold their next annual
melting at Manteo, and left the date
of the meeting open, may have more
than usual significance. For some
time forward looking citizens OF
the county have sensed the recognl-
tion the county owes the service,
the honor that is due its sons who
have lost their lives in line of duty.
and the possibilities for attracting
/ 70 the county a degree of recog-
nition that no other county car
we'll claim. In short there has been
some discussion about erecting
monument that would be n tribute
from the people Of the county to the
men of the Coast Guard andLight-
house service as well, and in men,
ory of the first Superintendent OF
the district. Lieut.. John j. Guthrie
a distinguished North Carolinian,
, native of Washington. n. c., who
lost his life at Nags Head in line
of duty nearly so years ago.
For at that time the Life Saving
Service in North Carolina was onl!
about four years old, and consisted
of inadequate huts called stations
with futile equipment located 10 to
% miles apart, and manned poorly
enough at that. only during the
months of mid-winter. 1t was While
tbc stations were inactive that the
L. s. Sloop of War Huron, at that
time one of the newest and finest
vessels of the American Navy was
stranded at Nags Head on Novem-
bcr a. and 100 gallant sailors lost
+hoir lives. Had there been surf
men on duty at the beach at the
time. it is believed all the crew
q fthe Huron could have been saved.
As if to taunt the Government
with its neglect, the sea took the
life of Lieut.. Guthrie, who had
come down from Norfolk on a
wrecking tug to offer what assist
ance he could. While attempting
landing on the beach in a high
sea. his boat was swamped and with
five oarsmen, he was drowned.
On the wave of excitement arous-
ed by this great tragedy, larger ap-
preparations were made, ana more
stations were built. More men
were kept in the stations for longer
periods.
