EDENTON, Sept. %. (UP)-
Extraordinarily low tides caused
by, the hurricane which swept the
Atlantic coast last week uncover
ed temporarily a historical ship
yard, submerged more than $50
years, w. D. Pruden, Edenton
lawyer, revealed today.
Pruden said the shipyard, own
ed during the eighteenth century
by Joseph Howes, Edenton march
ant and signer of the Declaration
of independence, sank beneath
the ocean soon after Howes'
death, in 1779.
Tropical winds whirling against
Edenton bay held the water back
to the lowest mark in history, the
attorney said, and enabled him to
examine the sunken shipyard care
fully.
His report of actually locating
the site of colonial maritime ac-
tivity tends to strengthen tradi-
tional stories concerning the yard,
which are part of Edenton's part
ly-definite, partly-vague histori-
cal past.
Pruden's account of the inves-
tigation follows:
"Joseph Howes was undoubted-
ly one of the signers of the Dec
laration of independence from
North Carolina. 1t is said, also,
upon very good authority that he
was responsible for the appoint
ment of John Paul Jones to a
command in the American navy,
when Howes was chairman of the
Committee on Naval Affairs in
the Continental Congress.
"Howes was a merchant in Ed
enton. He had another place
of business, a shipyard at about
the point where Pembroke creek
meets Edenton bay on the Abe
marie sound. Ny home happens to
adjoin the place where the old
shipyard is supposed to have been.
Its location and existence are con-
sidered matters of historical fact,
which / have always accepted
with faith but without proof.
During the recent storm we
had a strong northwest gale,
which tends to blow the water out
of the creek and bay. On this oc-
casion it caused the lowest tide
in the memory of any living in
habitant. We have only wind tides
and generally the variation does
not exceed two or three feet. On
September IS, however, there was
drop of not less than six feet. |
might say more but wish to be
conservative.
"The bottom of the sound was
exposed for a mile beyond its nor
NAL shore line.
"At the lowest point of the
tide, / walked out on dry land
and explored the shipyard of Jo-
seph Howes which had been sub
merged for more than $50 years.
at had evidently been built
considerably higher than it is to-
day, but had been washed down by
the storms and tides of a CEN
fury and a half. There was an
outer bulkhead of solid logs, still
perfectly preserved in the fresh
water.
Inside the bulkhead were
large stones, such as are never
found in this part of the coun-
try. We have no stones here larg-
en- than a pebble. These were evil

Klopstock Star In Pinches.

NEVERTHELESS the high -hurdling
class, especially in the South and
Far West, is the best this country ever
has had at one time. Three boys on
the West Coast, Roy Staley and Phi!
Cope Of Southern California and Le-
roy kirkpatrick of San Mateo Junior
College, have registered world-record
performances. Yet it's a question
whether any one of the trio is as good
in pinch as Sammy Klopstock, STAN
ford star.
The University of Georgia has de-
veloped a sensational timber topper IN
lanky Forest Towns, an indoor victor
over the redoubtable Sam Allen of
Oklahoma Baptist. Then there's the
veteran Louisianian, AL Moreau, who
cleaned up in Europe last Summer;
Phil Good, sturdy Bowdoin College
star. and Dan Caldemyer. Indiana S
Big Ten champion.
Five of these boys already have
touched world record time, l4.2 Sec
onds. The others have come close to
it. An idea of the battle for the
three Olympic places available can be
gained by the fact that Tom Moore,
University Of California star. who
has himself been clocked in l4.2 for
the high hurdles. has shifted his
Olympic aims to the 400-meter low
hurdles.
On past performances and expert
ence, Moreau, Allen and Cope seem the
best bets to a majority of coaches.
Towns and kirkpatrick are picked to
show outstanding development this
year and may spring upsets. There's
