bulkhead was built primarily as
a retaining wall for the drive

purposes. Built of oak boards,
attached to heavy posts set sew

BUGEYE SAILING
THRILLING
SPORT
Fastest Craft of Its Kind on
Eastern Seaboard; Are
Built by Instinct

ANNAPOLIS, June 3.-Many
city residents have listened to the
carolling of radio singers eXtoll-
ing the joys of sailing along on
Moonlight Bay" We do not know
on what craft they sailed on
Moonlight Bay. On the Chesa-
peake Bay they sail on Chesa-
peake bugeyes. These are the
fastest and the best sailing craft
to be found on the eastern sea-
board.
These bugeyeS are hard to find
and consequently are hard to buy.
The real Chesapeake Bay sailor
builds his own and unfortunately
he cannot tell how to do it. Un-
learned fisher folk build them by
instinct and not by science.
But it is different with half
rater" and the star boats at the
Naval Academy. These are main
tanned by the Academy because
of their value in drilling the mid
Shipmen. 1t is the one drill that
is a pleasure for both the drilling
and the drilled.
Thrill For Novice
If one comes down to the
Academy sometime and asks the
officer in charge at Bancroft Hall
to permit the use of one of these
sailing craft, or better still asks
someone who knows about the
Naval Academy to take one sail
ing. then a thrill is to be ex-
pected
The boats are small. only three
to seven persons can be acCommo-
dated. The thrill appears when
the boat scuttles along at 10 knots
with a good, spanking breeze, With
the lee scupper aWash.
But a thrill can only be thrill
when the element of the unex-
pected is shot through it and that
! is where sailing has its greatest
appeal because there is such
thing as being becalmed.
Mood of Nature
The greatest sail can be ruined
by a whim of Mother Nature.
The finest day for sailing, with
it's promise of a glorious ride over
white caps and quick round OF
the course, can be spoiled by tnaI
whimsical dame changing her
mood to a day. flat, MINDLESS; and
entirely in accordance with What
the older ones have learned to eX'
pect from Nature.
So Nature makes sailing as
great if not a greater sport than
fishing, but if one has skill, one
can always come home, whether
the wind ruffle the bay OF
whether it be a dead calm, WITH
out using the oars. Besides, one
learns what a lib sheet is.

HO TEL
OPEN AGAIN

OCEAN CITY, Md, June s.
The Atlantic Hotel celebrated it's
fifty-Seventh anniversary at the
opening of the season on Memo
rial Day. The history of this
hotel is really one of Ocean City.
Years previous to the actual lay
ing out of Ocean City, it was rec
ognized that the long sandy beach
running for miles north and south
was ideally located for a summer
resort. The Sinepuxent Bay, which
separated the beach from the
mainland, was the barrier which
retarded the rapid growth.
All the material in the original
Atlantic Hotel was brought over
in scows. In fact, this hotel was
the first building under conStruc-
ton in Ocean City. James Tracey,
the first owner, formally threw
open the doors in 1876 and the
start of Ocean City toward a place
among the premier resort cities OF
the East was begun.
Realizing the unusual advan-
tages, railroad extended its lines
to the growing little city in 1880.
The road ran from Salisbury. 1t
is often told that the passengers
were requested many times to get
out and cut the growing timber
along the road to furnish fuel for
the Wood-burning engine.
Steady growth finally resulted
in the building of a modern bridge
in 1919 and since that time Ocean
City has had a phenomenal in
crease not only in population but
in tax basis as we'll.
The old Atlantic Hotel was de-
stroyed by fire in December, 1925,
and on the original location the
new Atlantic Hotel was built in
1926. This hotel today is one OF
the most modern in design, capac-
ity and service along the Atlantic
coast.
The present owner, DR.. w. c.
Purnell, has taken leading part
in the progress of Ocean City and
is known throughout the hotel in
dustry for his progresSlVeneSs.

SEVERN CAVES

ANNAPOLIS, June 3.-Hldden
away from the haunts of the usual

are caves that rival any alr-conol-
toned plant for summer cooInesS'
The caves are on the severn
river and are known as the Sano
caves, as they are formed by man
made tunnels into cliffs OF pure
white sand. The sand was 1orm-
erly used in the manufacture OF
glass.
Tunnels of the cave extend Tor
several hundred feet into the bank
and winter and summer the tenn
perature remains about 6O oe-
grees. Visitors are warned noC
to explore these tunnels, as Ihey

ger of a caVe-ln.
No resort has been built near
the place and the property Is
privately owned. Bathers use the

A list of the attractive places
along the road would look like
the business directory of a tele-
phone book.
Koerner Birthplace
The route passes through Ham,
ilton, noted for it's attractive
homes; Ivandale, for its flower
displays and Purcellville.
Six miles north of Purcellville,
at Hillsboro, is the birthplace of
Susan Koerner, mother of Wilbur
and Orville Wright, inventors OF
the airplane.
Round Hill is passed and the
road begins to climb.
A few miles farther and the
motorist is on a sweeping bend
of the road, looking down on the
sleepy town of Bluemont, termi'
nal of the Washington and Old
Dominion railroad.
At the top of the grade is
Smokers Gap, 1,150 feet above
sea level.
Here, on the top of the noun
tain. the Confederate general, Ju'
bal A. Early. returning to the Shen
andoah Valley after almost cap
turing Washington in July, 1854
ran afoul of Crooks Federal cav
airy. The resultant battle, while
not a Union victory, hastened
Early's trip to the valley.
Then Bears Den
The turn to Mt. Weather is
at the top of the mountain.
The Mt. Weather road turns to
the left and runs along the top
of the ridge, passing the summer
homes of a score or more Wash
ingtonians.
Bears Den, for which admis-
sion is charged, is on the right
about mile from the main
road. From the Den a fine view
of the Shenandoah Valley may
be had.
This road is being widened ano
improve, the State Highway Com
mission having taken it over from
the two counties, Loudoun and
Clark. The road is the dividing
line between the two counties.
Mail is carried over the roao
during the week, and its is used
by the residents and their visi-
tors.
