skin turns yelloWish and the whites
of the eyes are mustard color. How
ever. jaundice does not always ap-
pear with hepatitis. and, of course,
can result from other causes.
Unless jaundite occurs early, along
with the other symptoms, hepatitis
may be hard to diagnose. Sufferers
have sometimes been accused of
''goldbricking" or psychoneurosis
because the diseases was not recog-
nized. Yet unless the patient is
treated promptly, the disease may
become chronic.
The essential feature of the disease
is damage to the liver cells ranging
from mild inflammation to wide
spread disintegration. Fortunately,
the liver has remarkable capacity
for rebuilding itself Treatment con-
sists of bed rest, plenty of fluid and
special diet.
Gamma globulin has been success
fully used for immunization in out
breaks of infectious hepatitis. Spread
of the blood-borne type is now large
ly avoided by not taking blood from
persons who have any history of
jaundice. To guard against its twin,
wash the hands before eating and
make sure the source of your drink

One of the busiest workers in the
human factory is the liver. It has
about 200 different jobs to do. Usually
it is cooperative and well behaved,
but it can go on strike. Two hep
atitis germs are frequent trouble
makers.
The hepatitis twins behave in
about the same way, but have diff
ferent methods of invading the body.
The virus of infectious hepatitis
travels in the intestinal tract and is
spread by contaminated substances,
including drinking water, and pos
sibly also by sneezing or coughing.
Serum hepatitis is transmitted by
blood or plasma from infected don
ors.
The first signs that one of them
has started trouble are loss of
appetite, tiredness, headache, and a
sort of general discomfort like the
onset of flu. Other symptoms range
from sore throat and aching joints
to extreme weakness and severe
mental depression. Within few
days, jaundice usually appears. The

ls-YEAR-oLD BOY
KNOWS HIS TIMBER

Is it possible to fell sawlog-
sized timber without running the
young timber underneath it?
Sure, says John E. Ford, forestry
specialist for N. c. State College
Agricultural Extension Service.
"Even kid can do it.
Ford cites the recent exper-
fence of Walter Raxter, 15-year-
old Pennsylvania County All
Club member. Ford says young
Raxter had an acre timber pro-
ject in hardwood stand of
small sawlog size, with a good
growth of young white pines six
to eight feet tall growing under
meath. Twelve years ago Walters
grandfather cut about half the
hardwoods from the acre then
underplanted with white seed
lings. Now that the pines are six
to eight feet tall they need this
overstory of hardwoods removed
so they can receive full sunlight
In cutting, Walter removed
all the hardwoods growing over
his pines. When he had finished,
he found he had cut 1900 board
feet of oak sawlogs and about
four cords of pulpwood and fire
wood from his acre plot. The i'm
portant thing, Ford says, is that
the 4-H'er used enough fore
sight when telling the hardwoods
to choose places that would do
the least ramage to the young
pines. The results were remark
able, says Ford. The youngster
did the job without harming
more than a half dozen of the
pines.
Young Raxter's forest manage
ment even went a step farther,
Ford says. When skidding the
hardwood logs out of the woods
the 4-H'er was very careful not
to allow any of them to roll
against or skin any of the pines.
Whenever it appeared that one
of the pines might be damaged,
he stopped and drove a stake in
the ground between the log and
the young tree to protect it.

cart stubbornly refused to pull.
and the other although willing,
was almost tired out. The surf
men then harnessed themselves
to drag ropes and plodded on as
best they could with the aid of
one nearly exhausted animal.
When the two keepers met,
they resolved to hasten to the
wreck with all possible speed,
in the hope that they might get
a clear idea of affairs by day
light, but with the utmost dill
gence they were not able to
complete the distance until just
as darkness fell. Then only the
protruding stern and bow of the
schooner, with dim outlines of
her spars, were family discern
able. From the villagers it was
learned that an attempt to send
off the empty yawl as test
experiment had been made and
failed and that the rising tide

BILL FISHES TAKEN IN
GLUF STREAM OFF COAST

Mays Head. - Three varieties
of bill fishes have been taken
from waters near the western
edge of the Gulf Stream off Hat
teras and Oregon Inlet so far
this year and the best season is
still in the offing for catching
these spearfish. First of the sea-
son was the largest. This was Bill
Wilkins blue marlin weighing
almost 400 pounds that was land
ed on May 10Th near Diamond
Lightship off Hatteras.
Since then several sailfish and
three white marlin have been
taken. All the sails were landed
off Hatteras by anglers trolling
from cruisers operating out of
that Outer Banks fishing port.
Two of the three marlin were
landed off Hatteras during June
and the third, a SIS FOUNDER mea-
surfing eight feet in length, was
landed last week by Jack Holt
of Pulaski, Va.

ing hands and forming a line,
were able to wade into the surf
and drag them out one after
another upon the beach. They
were all so weak that none of
them could have held out more
than a few moments longer, and
one seemed to be past recovery.
However, after the water was
expelled from his stomach and
chest, he was revived and taken
with his shlpmates to the village
near by where all were kindly
cared for.
A Wonderful Escape.
Commenting upon the wonder
full escape of these men, Cap
tain Bragg, a local pilot of much
experience, says, in his testi-
mony, 81 don't believe that one
of them could be saved again
under similar circumstances. 1t
is the most peculiar thing l ever
heard. They were the smartest
men l ever saw" There were
still three persons on the schoon-
er, and apparently there was no
help for them. In a few mo-
ments they were all seen to
hoist the fore staysail for the
purpose of heaving the bows OF
the vessel toward the shore, but
the wind was so broad on the
starboard, or inshore, bow that
the sail would not fill on the
other side, and their efforts re-
suited in failure. A little later,
however, while they were brood
ing over their disappointment
and every instant expecting the
schooner to sink, her head sud-
denly, without visible cause,
sheered hadr to starboard, and
she shot swiftly into the inner
breakers, where she fetched up
solidly on a steeply shelving
bank of hard sand, and heeled
over to seward SO far that her
port rail was wholly submerged.
The pillows now dashed heav-
lily up the incline of the main
deck, and the three men sought
refuge on the starboard quarter
deck near the mizzen rigging,
where they devoted themselves
to an effort to haul back the
yawl, which was still bumbling
about in the shore current far
from the beach and about one
hundred and twenty fathoms
from the schooner. While en-
gagged in this work the steward
who afterward persisted, fell to

childish experiments while pre-
cious moments were being lost,
and replied 30 let us go off like
men" About this time the oars
were brought, and Terrell, quick
ly pulling off his rubber boots
and handing his watch and the
keys of his station to the Rev.
w. E. West, jumped into the
yawl and called for volunteers
to help him man it. Daniel S.
Tolson alone responded.
Tolson with the keeper and
Mason (who was ready to go)
would not have been enough to
handle the boat, and the keeper
continued to plead Zealously
with the rest to fill up the crew.
After awhile some said they
would go if the men on the
beach would keep hold of the
line so that the yawl could be
drawn back in case of disaster,
and even to this demand the
keeper, though he had no SYM
pathy with it, assented. Then
came other excuses. By some it
was said that they distrusted
Terrelrs skill, and by others
that if they should succeed he
alone would receive the credit.
To these pretenses the keeper
instantly replied that If they
would only go they might take
charge of the boat themselves.
But they did not go. Now al
most in despair, and determined
| to leave no stone unturned, he
begged for volunteers to cross
over with him to Cookie Creek
and assist to get his own boat
that they might try that. Only
two men offered. themselves,
and to his question whether
horses could be obtained the
answer was that all the horses
were "off to the northward"
grazing. There was no further
expedient that ingenuity or hu-
mainly could suggest, and he
was at last sorroWfully COM
PEELED to give up all hope of
rescuing the suffering men be-
fore the Ocracoke crew should
arrive. Being powerless to do
any good where he was, he set
off without delay to the north
ward to meet that crew and aid,
if not hasten, their progress.
After patiently Flooding three
or four miles of water soaked
sand, he met Keeper Howard on
horseback, preceding his men,
who were far in the rear with
the apparatus cart.
Impossible Beach.
1t appears that the skiff sent
up by Terrell with news of the

do nothing for the men still or
the wreck, because the surf was
too rough to launch a boat.
Knowing that the. boat he had
was not fit for so perilous an
undertaking, and almost dumb
founded upon receiving infor-
nation that no message had
been sent to Keeper Howard, OF
the Ocracoke Station, thirteen
miles away, he instantly rea-
lized that there was no time for
further parley. Leaving Jacob
Swindel of his volunteer crew
in charge of the boat, he and
the four others promptly set
sail in the skiff for Keeper
Towards Station. AS soon, how
ever, as the skiff cleared the
village so that an unobstructed
view Of the schooner could be
obtained, Terrell saw that the
spray was flying over her and
concluded that she had come on
to the beach, where he might be
of aid to the shipwrecked men.
He therefore went ashore, and
started across the island toward
tho wreck which was three
miles distant, taking with him
Dennis Mason and sending the
other three in the Skiff on their
way to Towards station. Con-
siderable time was necessarily
consumed in walking over, and
the two men reached the scene
just as the villagers drew the
Spofford's Yawl out of the water
Terrell now perceived that
the wreck had not come to the
beach as he had supposed, and
he only too we'll knew that
nightfall would probably be at
land before Keeper Howard
could reach the place with his
crew and beach apparatus. Keen
ly alive to the necessity of i'm
mediate action, he therefore at
once resolved to make an at
tempt dangerous and doubtful
as it might be = to reach the
schooner with the yawl then
lying at his feet, if he could
only induce the spectators to
make up a crew. To this prop
osition objections were promptly
raised because there were only
rwo oars. No response was re-
.cAived to his request that some
body go over to his boat at
Cookie Creek for additional oars
and he was finally compelled
to send Mason, the only man of
his volunteer crew who was on
the ground. While Mason was
away on this errand the yawl
was carried down the beach
opposite the wreck, and the
keeper busted himself putting it
in order for a launch when
somebody suggested that they
should shove it off empty, with
the line still attached to the
stern, to see whether it would
drift to the wreck. But Keeper
Terrell was in no mood for

the main deck, six or eight feet
below, and was considerably in
jured. Their labors soon proving
Intellectual, they gave up, and
for some inexplicable reason
severed the line, letting the boat
60 adrift and cutting themselves
off from all possibility of using
either the line or the boat
should circumstances afterward
so happen as to make their use
in any way feasible. Not long
after the yawl was released, 1t
drifted to the beach about a
half-mile above the wreck, and
was dragged out of the water
by the bystanders.
An Amazing Situation.
This was the situation at mid
day, and during all the valuable
hours that had slipped away
since morning, under conditions
that made even minutes of in
estimable Importance, not a word
had been sent to either of the
life-saving stations. But Keeper
Terrell, of the Portsmouth Sta
ton, from which it was possible
to see the wreck, was in his
lookout tower at daybEeak with
his marine glass in hand, and
his watchful eye discovered the
Spofford very soon after her
presence became known to the
people of Ocracoke. She was
seven miles distant, however,
and at first seemed to be an
chored for shelter close under
the beach. When the growing
daylight made it possible to see
more clearly, the keeper thought
he could discern a signal of dis
tress in her rigging, and without
further hesitation, determined to
proceed to her at once. It should
be stated at this point that the
Portsmouth Station was new
one, barely completed, not yet
supplied with its equipment and
therefore not manned, the keeper
alone being in charge, to care
for the buildings and receive
the boats and appliances as
they should be delivered, pre-
liminary to the enlistment of
crew. He proved himself, how
ever, to possess the true spirit Of
a life-saver by setting out to pro
cure a volunteer crew and go
to the vessel the instant he be-
came satisfied, or rather, had
reason to believe, that she stood
in need of assistance.
Five men were gathered from
the vicinity, and started with
the keeper across the inlet and
up the sound in an old surfboat,
which although unfit for serious
service, was the best to be had.
1t was leaking freely, and the
crew so frequently compelled to
suspend rowing and bail out the
water that their progress was
slow until they were overtaken
by Postmaster Dixon, of Ports
mouth, with his sailing skiff,
when they were kindly taken in
tow for the remainder of the
trip.
At about eleven o'clock they
landed at the mouth of Cookie
Creek on the West side of Ocra-
coke village, about mile and a
third across the island from the
wreck. There they were met by
Captain S. D. Bragg, an Ocracoke
pilot, before mentioned by
whom Keeper Terrell was in
formed of the incidents that had
already TRANSFERRED, and assured
that the life-saving crew could
