pools swirl over the location when
the tide is at flood, but on low
water, So years later, the rusty
and blackened iron which once
furnished power for the schooner
rigged British tramp st amer
Ariosto, comes into view again as
grim reminder of shipwreck
which the old liners of Hatteras
and Ocracoke still talk about.
The year, 1899, due to the mem
opable august Storm" had caused
much destruction and resulted in
many maritime tragedies along
the Outer Banks of North Caro-
lima, but, as the official report OF
the U. S. Life Saving Service de-
scribed it, "The most calamitous,
because entirely needless, loss of
life during the entire year, or in
deed for many recent years in the
| history of the Service, occurred
on December "a, 1899, at the wreck
of the British Steamship Ariosto
on the coast of Norh Carolina
about two miles southwark of the
80 persons on board the vessel, 21

perished, while there was in the
conditions not the slightest neces-
sity that a single one should have
been lost" .......
The ship, a vessel of 2,265 tons,
was laden with a valuable cargo
of wheat, cotton, timber and cot
ton seed meal. She was command
ed by Captain R. R. Baines and
when she hit the bottom close to
Hatteras Inlet and within stones
throw of the northeast shore of
Ocracoke Island, the crews first
thought was that they had found
cred on dreaded Diamond Shoals
from which few ships, once they
ever survive. The Aristo was
bound from Galveston for Liver
pool with bunkering stop planned
for Norfolk.
It was on a Sunday morning, a
very dark one at that, when the
vessel struck bottom. When Cap
tain Baines reached the bridge the
ship was surrounded by white
water" which indicated breakers.
Naturally the first thought, due TO
the blackness of the night, made
even blacker by blizzard out of
the north, was Diamond Shoals.
Ac tu ally the ship had gone
aground Is miles southwest of the
dangerous Outer Diamond.
Attempts to abandon ship were
made. Lifeboats overturned and
crew members were thrown into
the cold but boiling surf. Had they
only known that aid was close by

SWAN QUARTER
PAGEANT GIVEN
FOR CHRISTMAS
Narrators Tell Story of Ma

Formed by Players

A Christmas pageant, Carrying
the Light" was presented at
Providence Methodist Church in
Swan Quarter Sunday night. 1t
was in the form of tableaux shown
as the narrators, Mrs. Dick Lup-
ton and Bill Cochran, Jr., read
the Christmas story.
The part of Mary was taken by
Miss Norma Earl Swindell and
that of Joseph by Merlin Berry.
Pratt Williamson, Jr., appeared in
the role of Isaih. Shepherds were
Joseph Cahoon, Roger Swindell,
Jimmy Williams and William
Harris. Kings were Wahab Ca
hoon, Ralph Swindell and Nat
Williams.
Candle lighters were Dorothy
Mason, Carol Williams, Lila Lee,
Sibyl Swindell, Betty Lee, Jane

In addition to the pageant, a

In addition to Boatswain Mate
Arnall, the SO7O's crew included
Joseph Choate, BM1c; Vance M
Smith, BM2c; Toivo Koskinen,
eodore Carlson, Edward r,
Jobson, James Watson and Arnold
Windsor, seamen first class and
Ward Weimer, eoxswain.
1t was mid-morning on Decem-
ber 8. The glass was low-and
dropping. The wind was blowing
a gale and increasing. Except for
two oil-clad men in the cockpit
the 3070's decks were deserted.
Seas were breaking over the
decks. AS the Northwestern in
creased, the vessel scudded ahead
under a trysail. Around noon, the
biggest wave of all washed over
the vessel. The cabin was flooded
with water over one foot deep
covering floor boards. The heavy
sea resulted in injury of three
men. At the time, the 3070 was in
Latitude 40 North and 70 West,
approximately.
On December 4 the gale con-
tinued and the 3070 scudded
southeasterly but the little vessel
was taking licking. Injured men
presented a gloomy picture. Plight
of the craft had been reported and
the crew were hoping for assist
ance. There was salt water in the
gasoline tank and it was necessary
to depend entirely on sails. At the
time the food supply was gone.
The mizzen mast and sail had been
carried away when the big sea
crashed over the vessel the prev
ious day and also part of the main
sail. Every busy man, bailing
water or manning the ship.
First hope of rescue came the
following day when an English
destroyer took the 3070 in tow.
But the tow was of short duration.
Beginning a 4:30 o'clock the haw-
ser parted about 1880 due to too
much speed in towing. Apparently
the destroyer which had headed
northeast by east was bound for
Nova Scotia. I'VE were lost off
Georges Bank, another graveyard
of the Atlantic" remarked Capt.
Arnall many days later at Ocra-
coke Section Base while telling the
story to officials. From then, the
time the tow hawser parted until
the craft fetched up at the edge of
Hatteras Minefield more than two
weeks later the voyage was one
nightmare after another.
Capt. ArnalPs report carried the
following excerpts: "Plane circled
us while we were in tow but then
departed. On December 8
we were able to get radio message
through stating that conditions
were satisfactory except for in
jured men. Unable to get further
messages through on that date.
On December IL we still had
ample food and then on December
IA we were overhauled by convoy
which tried to give assistance but
couldn't as seas were too high.

PUPPY LOVE SOMETIMES
LEADS TO A DOGS LIFE

-
The Old Sea Captain was in
quite jolly mood on this fine May
morning. He had strolled down to
the Cape to look at the sea, in
order to make his weather fore
casts. He was never quite himself
during any day that he failed to
take a good look at the water, and
he was evidently well pleased with
what he saw. He was whistling a
tune, somewhat high-pitched and
off key, as he sat on the porch to
await his friend, the Drummer,
who was trying to get the store
keeper to stock up with toilet soap,
castor oil and baby pants.
"Now, why be you anxious to
sell these things now," asked the
Old Sea Captain of his young
friend.
"Lots of young folks got mar
ried last year on this Coast" said
the Drummer. "You know a man
in my business has to be on his
toes and keep posted, and he has
to keep ahead of the game. l know
what's soon to be needed by every
body in. my territory and Pm out
to beat the cussed mail order cat
alogs this year."
"Ah, har!" snorted the Old Sea
Captain. 81 don't know which is
the worse for our folks, mail order
catalogs are a curse to the ceun-
try, taking all our money away,
and early marriages keep young
folks from having any money all
through life"
"You think too many young
folks get married?" asked the
Drummer.
~ think too many young folks
get married young" said the Old
Sea Captain. 81 think so for many
reasons, One is, they haven't had
enough experience to know what
it's all about. They mistake spring
fever and warmer weather for
some other kind of symptoms.
They think they have the real
thing when it's only puppy love-
and if they would wait a little
longer, they might make a better
choice. Women of any age rarely
ever use their heads in getting
married. 1t seems anything that
wears pants can get a woman to
marry him."
eff they did use their heads, not
many men would find any women
who would ever have them," said
the Drummer. "It's a good thing
women let their hearts rule them"
"And let their hearts blind
them," added the Old Sea Cap
tain.
81 guess you're right" said the
Drummer. "If a woman loves a
man, she'll believe any kind of a
lie he tells her."
"a man who didn't lie to a wo-
man would soon find himself with
out her." observed the Old Sea
Captain. "Sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander. Applesauce
makes them both gayer and grand
er."
"Young folks are not the only
ones subject to applesauce," said

never have been written. Lady

1912, or else the CGR S070, hope
lessly lost for more than a. month
would have drifted past the red
flashing buoy and into certain de-
struction which at the time was
Hatteras Mine Field. Another CG
patrol craft out of Ocracoke Sec
tion Base overhauled the 3070 and
warned her crew to stay south of
the red flashing buoy.
On December %, Curtis Arnall,
Chief Boatswain Mate in charge
of the auxiliary sail and motor
vessel had entered the incidents
of the day as follows:
"2130 sighted red flashing buoy.
Prepared to lay off until day break.
Hailed by patrol boat. Asked to
heave to until daybreak staying
south of the buoy. We sailed south
and were lost by the patrol boat.
Lat. S4-49 N-Longitude 1900 W."
On the following day, the log
entry related finale to a saga of
the seas that had started on No
vember 81 at the Coast Guards
Greenport, L. l., Patrol Base and
ended near dangerous Diamond
Shoals, oftimes called the Grave
yard of the Atlantic" which was
even more dangerous during the
early days of the war, by the crea-
ton of a mine field which in the
final analysis probably resulted in
more vessels being lost in the vi
cinity than actually sought refuge
in the protected" anchorage it
surrounded. The December %

Indeed it was a Christmas pres
ent for the nine man crew of the
CGR 3070. She had scudded over
much of the West Atlantic since
departing for a routine tour Of
duty offshore from her base at
Greenport, only to be caught in a
storm that continued day after day
for more than month. The going
for first five days out of Greenport
was no more rugged than could be
expected for sailing craft at that
season. On December gales were
forecast but the men who manned
the ships of what some called the
'tHooligan Navy" could take it.
Most of them were ex-yachtsmen
who wanted to do something, and
did during the dark days of 1912
when Americas fleet of better

possible with fighting craft avail
liable in covering many sea from
