WRECK OLIVE THURLoW
OFF NJ. c.. DEC. S, 1902

The American Barkentine Olive
Thurlow was wrecked on Deem
Der 5, 1902, in Lookout Blight, coast
of North Carolina, and one man
lost his life from terrific blow
inflicted upon his head by the
mizzenmast, which gave way and
fell to the deck soon after the
vessel entered the breakers. The
rest of the crew were saved.
The Thurlow was of $50 tons
burden, &c years old and heavily
laden with several hundred thous-
and feet of pine lumber, portion
of which was carried on deck. She
was bound from Charleston, S. c.,
to New York City in command of
Capt. J. o. Hayes, and carried a
crew of seven men, all told. When
as far on her way as Bodie Island
she ran into a gale from the north,
veering to the eastward, and about
four o'clock in the morning of De-
cember l, the master deeming it
no longer advisable to breast the
storm, attempted to put his yes
sci before the wind, In order that
no mistake should be made at the
= helm, he himself took the wheel,
and while he was trying to adjust

GARDEN TIME
BY ROBRRT SCHMIDT


The crop that you produce will
be no better than the seed that
you plant. Use only the best you
can get.
Failure Of seed to terminate
when planted is not always due to
low viability. Often when seeds
especially beans and corn, - are
planted in wet and cold soil they
will rot in the ground, even if
they have passed a good germina-
ton test. Also, terminating seeds
may be killed when they come in
to direct contact with strong
chemical fertilizers. Be very care
full in applying concentrated fer
tilizer. Do not allow them to come
into contact with the seeds.
1t is now safe to plant all warm
season crops in eastern and central
North Carolina such crops as
beans, cucumbers, muskmelons,
watermelons, okra, tomatoes, pep
pers and eggplants. Collard seed
may be sown for an early crop,
but the best collards are produced
when the seed are sown in July
and August. Have you tried the
Hanover" collardf I'll be glad to
send a few seed on request.
Some gardeners believe that
cucumberS and muskmelons will
cross if planted near each other
and that the melons will taste like
cucumbers. This is a mistaken
idea. Cucumbers and muskmelons
will not cross in the field and, if
the melon is tasteless, it is due to
too much rain at ripening time or
to soil conditions. Different va
rieties of muskmelons will cross
with each other but will not affect
this years crOp-only next years
crop if you save your own seed.
If you plant yellow and white
sweet corn varieties near each 9th
er the resulting cross will show up
in the present season, and you will
have a mixture of white and yell
low kernels on the same ear.

! the tiller ropes, one of his feet
was caught between the tiller and
the quadrant, and damned with
such violence as to break his leg
just above the ankle. The vessel
was got around without further
mishap and headed to the south
ward, which course she maintained
until eight o'clock on the night Of
December 8, when she dropped
her anchor in seven and half
fathoms of water, about two and
a half miles northeasterly from
the Cape Lookout Life-Saving Sta
ton. The weather was then thick
and rainy with a moderate gale
from the southwark.
On the morning of the 4th the
Captain, who had now been suffer-
ing intensely for three days with
a broken leg, naturally desired
to get ashore where he could re-
ceive surgical attention, and he
therefore ordered distress
signal to be set in the rigging.
''Two minutes later" as he says
in his testimony, he saw the an
swering pennant of the life-sav-
ing station, "and twenty minutes
later the life-savers were aboard"
He was taken ashore, whence he
was sent to Beaufort without de-
lay, and in closing his affidavit
regarding the disaster he states
that he received all possible at
tention and was under many OBJ
legations to the keeper and crew."
Before leaving the vessel,
Keeper Gaskill informed Captain
Hayes that a very severe gale was
imminent from the southwest,
that the vessel was in a perilous
position, and therefore he wished
to be allowed to take her to a
good anchorage in comparatively
smooth water. This request the
captain refused on the ground that
she would not "head in and could
not be put in stays"-that is, that
the movement suggested could
not be made. The keeper, however,
had not the slightest doubt of it's
feasibility, and furthermore, it ap-
pears that the tug Atlantic went
alongside the Thurlow and pro-
posed to tow her to safe water
and convey the master to Beau
fort, but the proposition was de-
clined because Captain Hayes
would not agree to the terms Of
fered. When the keeper left the
vessel she was riding to only %
or 80 fathoms of chain, and, al
though this was subsequently in
creased to go fathoms on the an
Choir, the second mate in his testi-
mony asserts the wreck to have
been due to the fact that more
scope was not given.
The life-saving station kept a
strick watch of the Thurlow from
the time she anchored until her
fate was sealed. AS soon as her
crew were convinced that she was
certain to strand they fired two
Coston signals, which Surfmar
Yeomans, on the north patrol, an
swered instantly. The life-savers

eve would also state that if the
vessel had held together a little
longer all would have been saved
in the brooches buoy, but the miz-
zenmast broke, killing the steward
and injuring two others, after
their line had been made fast to
it, for which they are in no wise
to blame.

Blind Cave Salamanders,

America has only two blind cave
salamanders as of now. Both are
extremely rare. Scientists have
spent many hours in dark silent
caves to try to find them. Very few
persons are willing to enter these
weird, wet places inhabited only by
bats. blind fish and perhaps chirp-
ing frog.
However, Charles E. Mohr was
determined to track down these two
rare creatures. In order <to do so
he crawled through some tight
places, stood knee deep in murky
water with unknown swimmers
knocking against his knees.
He found one along the Mystic
River in Marvel Cave, Ozark
Mountains. This blind cave sala-
mander is known in science as
Typhlotriton spelaeus. It Is a
strange pink color due to is unpig-
mented skin under which the blood
courses, .tinging the white skin a
soft rose color. It is lungless,
breathing through its skin. And
blindness overtakes it when it meta
|morphoses. At this time its eyelids
fuse together. You can see them
under the thin white skin, but, they
are functionless. These cave dwell
lers have no need Of sight in. the
pitch darkness. Their other senses
tara highly developed.

Then there Is the other rare one
a 4-inch fellow with silky-white
body and blood-red frilled gills. He
moves as quick as a flash through
the water. His place of abode is an
underground stream near San Mar
cos, Tex.
The length puts this blind sala-
mander in the giant class. In order
to capture him he was gently
headed toward the wide mouth of
an open glass jar. Later he was
picked so that others might see a
rare blind salamander whose ex-
istence very few ever heard of and
but a bare half dozen have ever
seen it flash through the murky
waters of its black homeland. This
blind salamander with the crimson
gills has been scientifically identified
as Typhlomolge rathbuni. His life
story is clouded in mystery. Where
are the eggs deposited, and what
do the young look like would be
interesting things to know, If you
are interested in blind cave sala-
manders.
In most Of the caves visited in
the hopes of capturing the rare
ones, there were many other blind
inhabitants. those who do possess
eyes do not appear to have much
use for them. They move more
rapidly In absolute darkness than
they do in daylight. In fact, in the

him. Finally he took coin from

she caShed the ace and king of
