WRECK VICTIM HOME
FROM THE HOSPITAL
Mrs. Irene Brooks GaskiII Suffer-
ing from Bruises and Other
Minor Injuries

Mrs. Irene Brooks Gaskill of
Manteo has. returned to her home
from the Albemarle Hospital in
Elizabeth City, after receiving
treatment for several days for in
juries received when the car she
was driving last Thursday night
ran off the highway into the canal
near the Roanoke Sound bridge.
She suffered a slight cerebral con-
cussion and painful bruises. David
Caswell Tillett, of Greenville, who
was also riding in the car, was re-
leased from the hospital the fol-
lowing day.
Mrs. Gaskill told the investigat-
ing highway patrolman that she
swerved the car to avoid hitting a
dog that ran across the road. The
car was submerged in the canal,
and the passengers consider them
selves lucky to have avoided
drowning.

TREASURE HUNTERS FIND
THINGS IN UPPER DARE

Duck.-Indications that long
forgotten community existed just
north of this upper Dare County
village on the east shore of Curri-
tuck Sound has been proven again
recently by amateur "beachcomb-
ing psychologists" Latest finds
have included pieces of pottery and
porcelain, an Indian type clay pipe,
many bones (of animals or hui
mans) perfectly preserved tusks,
presumably from wild boars that
may have once roamed the area,
odd-shaped clay bricks and one
coin, a copper piece bearing the
date "1734."
Mr.. and Mrs. MILFORD Wise and
their children of Manteo made the
find. Mrs. Wise, attending con-
vention of nurses in Washington
D. c. last week took the coin along
to show to government museum ex-
perts in efforts to identify it. Ear
lier this year, Walter Carroll of
Durham, frequent summer WISH
tor in the Mays Head region Of
Dare, had also made some unusual
finds at the site.
No person residing in the village
of Duck today can give any infor-
nation about a community at the
spot where the -trove" is
located. Early maps Of the region
show an Inlet near the site. On
some of the early maps of 800 or
more years ago, the inlet is identi-
fed as Trinity Harborp which was
the place where the earliest En-
glish explorers sent to the New
World by Sir Walter Raleigh dur
ing the reign Of Queen Elizabeth.
That was during the late 10th Gem
fury. The coin which Mrs. Wise
found bore~a date almost two CEN
turtles later.

Strong wins, prevailing We'd
nesday night and Thursday of this
week, have resulted in considerable
minor damage along the North
Carolina Coast. High seas running
across the beach in Dare County
have done considerable damage to
the new road north of Oregon In
let, and the road south of Rodan-
the.
High water at nine o'clock
Thursday morning saw consider
able water on the road at Mays
Head Coast Guard station, where
is has run across the beach. The
Coast Guard station vicinity is one
of the places sand fences were not
built, and the beach remains rela-
lively lower at this point. The sea
ran over the beach at other places
in Mays Head.
Damage to the road south of
Mays Head was due principally to
the reason that the fill for the
road is comparatively new and
easily displaced by action of wind
or water. Also, no aprons were
provided for the edges of asphalt
left raw when the road was built.
Winds continued throughout the
day at upwards Of 40 miles per
hour.
No local damage was reported
other than damage to new road
fills. A ship was reported adrift
some 20 miles off Mays Head, and
Coast Guard rescue boat Cherokee
was standing by. The vessel en-
dangered was a liberty ship, the
Lucy Stone, being towed by Mo-
ran Towing Co. tug.

MACHINE AGE
STRETCHES TO
BODIE ISLAND
Operation of Lighthouse
Made Automatic; Elimi-
mates Need for Keeper
By AYCOCK BROWN

Bodie Island. - The keepers
house at the lighthouse here has
been abandoned which adds to the
loneliness one feels while driving
over the crooked sand road mark
ed private Property-Keep Of")
that leads from the new paved
highway between Mays Head and
Oregon Inlet. The keepers resi-
dence is abandoned because Bodie
Island Lighthouse like most of
those along the coast today has
been made automatic.
Upkeep of the beacon and pow
err plant which cuts the light in the
tower off and on at dawn and twi-
light is now the job of the Coast
Guard at Mays Head station sever
al miles up the beach. What will
happen to the we'll built keepers
house is anybody's guess. Some
times the government (owner of
such properties) offers same for
sale to become club houses, sum-
mer mer cottages or permanent
residences. Maybe that has already
been done with the keepers house
at Bodie Island, but the new own
er, if there is one, is surely not
taking very good care of the prop
erty. The doors are unlocked and
inside the rooms are vacant. The
grass has grown high in the yard
and the fence which once surround
ed the house and light tower is
now partially down or hidden from
view by the white and red myrtles
which form sort of jungle around
the properties.
Bodie Island Lighthouse is one
of six along the 800 miles of ocean
front on the North Carolina coast
today. Each of the lights have
their own individuality. Corolla on
Currituck Beach is the site of a
brick structure, dull red or natural
in color. The tower here when seen
by mariners during daylight is dis
tinguished by it's white and black
horizontal stripes. Cape Hatteras,
some 40 miles south of Bodie Is
land, is identified by it's black and
white spiral stripes. Ocracoke,
where the tower is now having its
face lifted, is Is foot high solid
white tower. Cape Lookout at the
lower tip of Core Banks has black
and white diamonds and Cape Fear
is skeleton-steel structure.
The present tower, 1853 feet high,
is not the original Bodie Island
lighthouse. The first, brick struc-
ture, was built $500 feet south of
the present tower in 1848-the
same year great storm opened an
Inlet that was to be named Ore
gon. The original tower, like many
others along the coast, was de-
stroyed during the Civil War. At
about the same time the original
structure here was destroyed Fort
Oregon had been established at the
Inlet for the duration of the war.
The present lighthouse was
erected in 1872. It's beacon, 100000
candlepower, can be seen 10 miles
seward on clear night. While the
present Bodie Island lighthouse
was under construction, five sail
ing vessels were wrecked nearby.
Since that time there have been
few shipwrecks close by Bodie Is
land, which speaks well for the
warning service the beacon has
given. The new highway passes
about Y miles east Of the struc-
ture, but now motorists visiting
Oregon Inlet can get closeup
view Of the 163-foot tower.
