ment. Many residents opposed the
purchase of the shaft from a north
ern concern. The project to help
preserve the fort was dropped af-
ter this discussion. And practically
nothing has been done since to save
the battle field.
Winner said he thought the plac-
ing of %jetties beyond the eco
reef and not above the average
high water mark would be a ire
mendous help in preventing further
erosion.
He said that early in 1890 he
personally built a jetty at the south
end of the fort, which saved the
mound from washing away COM
pletely. He said that while the
jetty remained there the mound did
not wash at all. The jetty soon rot
ted away and because Of the ex-
pense involved he could not afford
to build another.
Action Needed
Something must be done 1mme-
diately," he said as We walked
along the sands, where once stood
the Battle Acre of Fort Fisher.
The erosion not only has hit Fort
Fisher but extends along the coast
from Wilmington Beach to Corn
cake inlet. At Kures Beach the
state highway has erected a small
sea wall to save the road there.
L. C. Kure, large property own
er at Kures Beach said much prop
erty has been lost and the waves
continue to carry away the land.
He, like Winner, has urged that
something be done Immediately to
save Fort Fisher and the other
beaches in Southern New Hanover
County.
"a sea wall, like the one built
in Galveston. Texas, Is what we
need to stop the erosion" Kurs
said.
Time and tide wait for no man."
T. Something must be done to stop
the erosion or Fort Fisher will COM
pletely disappear.

RECORDERS COURT

SEWING MACHINES

Erwin H. Strickland will today

separate counts involving the
larceny of II sewing machines by

said yesterday.
Local police have been unsuc-

Paul Adams, with whom Strick-

to steal the machines by posing as
a repair man, King reported.
Police say Adams took some Is

alleged attempt to sell them to
textile mills.

been protecting Fort Fisher for all
these years. There was enough rock
taken from the north side of the
mound to build a solid rock foun-
dation from the south end of the
Fort to the Southern end of Kures
beach.
Surveys Made
Winner said a lot of surveying
was done under the direction Of
Major R. A. Wheeler in 1881 and
everything seemed to be getting
along fine until the arguments came
up in regards to the proposed rlonu-

ago at high tide, a person could
walk in front of his home without
getting his feet wet" 1t appeared
to me that the water must have
been at least two or three feet
deep, and the tide was falling at
the time, under the front of his
house.
II am now planning to move my
house to higher ground" he stat
ed. This will be the fourth time
Winner has been forced to move on
account of the erosion in the past
ten years.
Walter Winner probably knows
more about the erosion at Fort
Fisher than any other person. He
has been there, he has lead sew
eral fights to preserve the famous
fort and in his opinion something
must be done to halt the erosion
or The entire area will be wash
ed away"
He said the mound, scene Of the
famous battle of 1865, was at one
time over 900 feet long, 400 feet
wide and 40 feet high, with the
crest of the mound over $50 feet
from the high water mark. There
is no mound at Fort Fisher now.
At one time there was an asphalt
road completely circling the mound.
The outer road, or the road facing
the ocean has been washed away
and the highway now ends abrutly.
Highway Going
U. S. Highway 421 at the spot
where the circle connected is be-
ing washed away. Monday after
noon highway signs were seen
warning drivers to be careful OF
the washouts. The sholder of the
asphalt highways have vollapsed
and a small part of the asphalt has
caved in.
If the present pace of the erosion
Continues the highway will be i'm.
passable within a short time. The
rock foundation is beginning tc
crumble from the pounding of the
waves at extremely high tides.
I saw the concrete base where
the monument was first slated tc
be erected in 1882. 1t was covered
with water and could only be seen
when the wave receded from the
shore. 1t vas through Winners eff
forts the shaft was located on a
spot approximately $50 yards south
west of the original proposed posi-
ton. 1t was approximately 30 feet
from the concrete foundation to the
high water mark. If the monument
has been placed on the original
site today it would be surrounded
by water.
Rate Increasing
Winner said more erosion has
taken place during the past month
than in the last ten years.
l asked Walter Winner what
caused the erosion to increase SO
much in the past several years. To
answer this he showed me a clip
ping of an article he had submit
ted to the Star-News over Is years
ago. This item was carried in this
paper and I repeat excerpts here.
The article was very long and went
into details of Winners opinion
about what should be done to stop
the washing away of Fort Fisher.
Following are a few selected para
graphs written over Is years ago.
Il still think its a disgrace to u
nation to let Fort Fisher wash away
like it is" The article went on to
say that several attempts had been
made to save the mound, but de-
cfared they were of no avail. The
greatest attention Winner says he
ever paid to Fort Fisher was when
the county needed rock for build
ing two and one fourth miles of
road. He said the county trucks and
convicts were put to work on the

lime and tide walt for no man.
This, is true at Fort Fisher, historic
New Hanover County battlefield of
the War Between the States. The
famous battle of 1865 Is we'll re-
membered by all, but many seem
to have forgotten the Fort. Erosion
is slowly endangering the land
marks.
A recent survey, one of many in
the past 20 years, was conducted
by Lieut.. Col. Steizenmuller and D.
F. Horton of the U. S. Army En-
gineers Beach Erosion board at
Fort Fisher. Shortly after the sur
vey was completed, it was announc-
ed that mo immediate danger of
the ocean cutting through to the
Cape Fear River is in sight"
Many persons were alarmed at
this statement because it is very
plain to see that Fort Fisher is
fast disappearing. The Engineers,
who have made constant surveys
since 1928, have been keeping a
watchful eye on the progress made
by the tide and winds.
1t was pointed out yesterday that
the U. S. Engineers do not have the
authority to prevent erosion on pri-
vate property and at the present
time the Engineers only interest
In watching the developments al
Fort Fisher is to take the necessary
steps to prevent the ocean from
endangering the navigation chan
mel in the Cape Fear river. which
is only about 1000 feet from the
ocean.
It was learned that if the erosion
continues to cut into the land anc
does %endanger the navigation
channel, the Engineers will con,
struct %jetties to hold back the
ocean. 1t was explained that the
Engineers, under Federal law. can
not do anything to prevent the
erosion unless authorized to do Sc
by Congress.
Only Way
The only way possible, it was
explained. for the Engineers to ster
into the Fort Fisher picture is fol
the State or National government
to take over the Fort and establish
it as a public beach.
This reporter in company with
j. Walter Winner, a resident Of
Fort Fisher for the past 27 years,
made a survey of the damage done
by the erosion in the Fort area.
Winner says the land is washing
away at the rate of almost one
foot per day for the past thirty
days. 1T is unusual for the ocean
to cut in this far in such a short
time" he remarked as he explain
ed the high winds and tides have
caused much of the erosion. He
pointed out the highwater mark a
month ago and compared it with
the mark established just a few
hours before we made the survey.
1t was at least 8 feet farther in
land that it was a month ago.
Climbing on the roof of his COM
blnatlon home and business build
ing we looked west to the Cape
Fear river, now less than 1000 feet
from the Atlantic Ocean at this
point. Just a little south of the Fort
Fisher Confederate monument, we
saw Buzzards Bay, a scant IS
yards from the ocean.
Waves Underneath
As we stood on the roof the
waters Of the Atlantic were washing
almost 80 feet under the building,
