Carl and Jessica Justice
Had Small Craft in Inlet
During Severe W Gather.

Carl and Jessica Justice, and their
little cruising yawl Explorer, for whom
their Washington friends feared during
the hurricane days along the Soutn AT

Feared lost when the tropical hurrt-
cane of the early part of september
dashed its waning fury against the OUT
ward passage between Beaufort, N. O.,
and Charleston, s. c., the Explorer, ana
its crew of two, has turned up safely IN
Charleston, according to word received
here today from Carl Justice.
Justice writes The Star, in which he
read that friends feared for the voyagers'
safety, that his wife and he, in their
little sail boat with which they expect
to travel to many remote corners OF the
world, were snugly moored to an olo
wharf in an inlet along the North Car
DINA coast, within hearing Of the roar
ing surf, but safe when the hurricane,
in all its fury, struck.
