Spanish Mains; Location
Was Puzzle to Travellers

The exact location of the Spanish
Main long puzzled travellers and
writer's. Some applied the name to
the entire Caribbean, others thought
1t designated the mainland border
ing that sea.
In the heyday Of the conquista-
dores and pirates, the old Spanish
Main comprised not only the Carib-
bean sea, but that part of the Allan
tic ocean Piled by Spanish treasure
ships.
The name later came to embrace
the shores of the Caribbean islands
and the adjacent coasts of South
and Central America.
Now the name has narrowed down
to denote the northern coast Of South
America between the Isthmus of
Panama and the delta of the Orino-
co river, thus including the coasts
Of Panama, Colombia and Ven
ezuela.
Unromantic freighters replace the
OAN SAAoCA So11COilos OOL ~ CC1OAS
cargoes are still shipped from the
Spanish Main.
Venezuela is the third largest oil
producing country in the world.
Colombia contains the worlds
most important emerald mine.
Exports from the main include
platinum, gold, silver, Panama hats,
coffee, chicle, tonka beans, ivory
nuts, which are made in many ar
ticles from umbrella handles to but
tons, and kapol, so-called "vege-
table down. used as stuffing for up
holstery.
An interesting relic of the old days
is the Bluebeard Castle at ST. Thorn
as, now called Charlotte Amalie. It
is three-story fortress and is now
the centerpiece of a new hotel. It
is a gaunt structure and popular
with visitors during the daytime. At
night people prefer to stand outside
and gaze at it.
The rugged old fort is made awe
some by the tradition that the origi-
nal owner. pirate who was nick
named Bluebeard because Of the
blush sheen on his black whiskers,
had a full set Of Is wives.

North Carolina Church
Is Restoring Old Port

Restoration of the quaint old sea-
port Of Bath, N. c., is giving to
modern America the haunts of
Blackboard the pirate, a church at
tended by early American colonists
and homes built more than two CEN
turtles ago.
Plans for restoring the historical
village are being pushed by the
Episcopal leaders Of the East Caro-
lima diocese. Their interest springs
from the Bath Episcopal church,
built in 1884, and recognized as the
oldest church building in the state
today.
Called 1.-THE Cathedral because
it is ruled by the bishop, the build
ing still is in excellent condition
with original handmade doors and
hand-cut wooden pews. 1t is to be
restored and converted into a ma
tional shrine.
A museum will be opened near
the church and the old Marsh house
near by, built in TIA, will be con-
verted into a rectory.
Of great interest are the ruins of
an old house near Bath creek where
Edward Teach-"Blackbeard the pi-
rate"-is said to have lived during
his days of power. Ruins of his
ships may be seen there at low
tide.
Bath has grown little since it was
settled by white men about 1890.

Needs ointed Out

During his discussion of vari-
Gus governmental expenditures
through relief work in Dickinson
County at the meeting of the XII
wants Club on Monday, Mr.. W. E.
French mentioned several projects
which would prove of great bene-
fit to the town of -Clintwood. We
heartily commend him for his
thoughts in suggesting swimming
pool and recreational center. How
ever, the Herald wishes to advance
again the oft-discussed question
among sport fans in Clintwood and
vicinity, namely, first class gym
nasium for Dickinson Memorial
High School. Year after year the
basketball material coming to the
local high school is equal to any
found in the county, and year
after year we see these well coach
ed teams go down to defeat as
an accepted matter of course SIM
ply because they are handicapped
by being forced to train in gym
nasium which looks more like a
chicken coop than a gymnasium.
On the other hand the pupils from
the Sandlick, Ervinton and most
of the Willis districts have the best
in gymnasium facilities. No, the
people of the Clintwood and Ken
nedy districts are not so envious.
but the contrast is obvious. School
officials often express the idea that
educational opportunities in Dick
enson should be more and more
equalized by having the best teach
ers in the less remote sections.
and yet within the county seat Of
Dickinson is gymnasium which
is disgrace to sports enthusiasts
such a poor place in which to
play basketball that teams from
outside the county are never in
vited to grace it's cracked concrete
floors, or admire it's narrow, dark
confines, rough sanded walls or
low ceiling. We suggest first
class gym for D. M. H. S. instead
of more grandstands and others
things. Put first things first!

SOLDIERS ARE READY
Raiders Seek To Batter
Down Defenses, Smash
Coastal Shipping
BRITAIN

LONDON, July 11.-(Thursday)R
Britain was warned that Nazi in-
vasion may be sprung today-per-
haps in the daWn-and specialized
anxiously as to whether this state
ment from a var official was the
authorized first word that the zero
hour for England was near.
Members of parliament studied
closely the attack warming in
which Sir Edward Grigg, UNDER
secretary of state for war. told
Britons last night:
Tonight thousands of u sold
iers will be on the alert, waiting
for an attack which may come IN
several places at dawn"
Great Air Fight
He spoke while the thunder Of
bombs and the rattle of machine
gun fire still signaled the greatest
air fight of the war over England
an attack which Sir Edward said
might be only a prelude to the
worst.
British battle planes and costal
guns drove the Germans off late
in the day after shooting down or
disabling 81 of the raiders.
Some members of parliment took
tire undersecretary's statement as
implying only the need for increas-
ed watchfulness hour by hour along
the coastal no-mans-land where
the next blow is apprehension.
Acknowledging the loss Of two
British planes, the air ministry re-
ported that in incessant d%ogflghts
throughout the day IA German
bombers and their guardian fight
er craft, sprung at England from
close-range bases in France and
the low countries, were shot out OF
the sky. Another % were reported
80 severely damaged that they
were unlikely to reach home"
Attack Defenses
The raiders concentrated on
breaking down coast defenses and
smashing shipping out of The mar
now straits of Dover.
The British said "a few persons"
were killed by high explosives in
land.
At times at least $50 planes bat.
tied simultaneously along the coast
the Germans trying for hits on
ships and attempting to break
through British defenses for inland
attacks.
Unlike roads of weeks ago when
the bombers came a few at a time
without fighter escort, today's raid
ers brough whole flights OF fast,
light, fighting planes to ward off
the British Spitfires and Hurrl-
canes.
One squadron of nine big bomb
ers was guarded by so lighter war;
planes. The bombers were guard
ed within two full circles of Mes
serschmitts.

been beaten off in this wars first
full-dress naval battle in the Medi-
terranean area, Italy claimed to-
day.
1t was officially acknowledged,
however, that before the British
fleet gave up its objective under
heavy fire, the Italians had suffer-
ed:
A hit on a battleship which kill
ed % members of the crew and
wounded SO.
Loss of the 1,O73-ton destroyer
Zeffior.
Loss of a submarine and four
warplanes.
Claims Vessels Damaged
Against this, it was asserted that
a British destroyer had been tor
pedoed and sunk; that "some"
British vessels had been "serious-
ly damaged, with fires visible
aboard" by bombing, and that hits
were believed to have sunk a war
ship-"probably a battleship."
britain declared that the en-
gagement turned into a pursuit OF
the Italians; that the British them
selves had not suffered a single
casualty, and that the fight had
proved that 'tItaly's best is n o
match for our second best" since
the Italian fleet had included two
of Italy's newest and biggest bat
tleships.)
