SOUTHPORT, March 5.-Rather
far fetched tales Of TIA low
country" which are said to begin
with brunswick county, have been
floating around during recent
weeks. They all originated with VIII
the Charleston earthquake OF 1850.
AS a bareback to the search
for oil in the eastern part OF
North Carolina, geogolists came TO
brunswick some weeks ago. They
were mainly interested in finding
and talking to old people, living
along the coast. Invariably the
matter brought up was the Charles
ton earthquake.
Dead Fish Numerous
The investigators wanted TO
know the facts of the long ex-
listing stories CT dead fish having
drifted ashore on the coast OF
Brunswick for days and weeks
following the earthquake. These
dead fish are said to have ap-
peared all along the coast. But
they were the most numerous near
the various inlets, Calabash, Shall
lotte, Lockwoods Folly, and the
Cape Fear inlet.
Old people who were contacted
are said to have confirmed the
stories of the dead fish. They began
to wash ashore a few days after
the earthquake and continued to
come for some time.
Conjecture
Nothing has since been heard
from the geogolists, but their COM
ing and the vivid memory OF some
people relative to the earthquake
has created much conjecture.
Folks want to know how an earth
quake could have killed fish, ii
it did? A seemingly reasonable
1ayman's answer to that is that
the quake, which was very severe
at Charleston and also marked in
this section, could have opened
fishures deep down in the earth
under the waters of the Brunswick
coast. From these assures, before
