mainmast. Captain Burrus then
gave the signal to haul off, but
could get no answer. He thereupon
sent two surfmen south along the
beach to see if anyone had come
ashore or if any bodies had been
washed up, but all they found was
the little boat in which, as it after
ward proved, the sailors had I'M
dertaken to leave the ship. Captain
Burrus then sent the team back to
Gull Shoal for the surfboat, think
ing to board the wreck upon its ar
rival.
While the perplexed life-savers
were grouped on the beach await
ing the coming of the surfboat,
Mate Lund put in his appearance
and soon cleared up the mysterious
features of the nights tragic
event.
The service crews returned to
their stations about thirty
am. The Katahdin, whose lights
could be seen offshore while the
| life-savers were trying to establish
communication with the wreck,
came in near the Saxon after day
light, and seeing that the vessel
was lost, turned about and steamed
Inorthward.
Asked by the investigating Off
Ger whether or not the crew of the
Saxon could have been saved had
they stayed aboard their vessel,
Keeper Burrus replied: Eyes, we
would have saved them, every one,
without any trouble. The second
shot put the line across abaft the
mainmast, and the gear could have
been rugged in a few minutes. The
maSts stood until about two pm.
October IA. If the anchor chain
had been slipped, the Saxon would
have come over the reef and on the
beach. On the 14th the mate and
myself went aboard of the wreck,
but could find no papers or any,
thing regarding the crew. Every
thing movable had been washed
away"
The barge became a total loss,
but considerable portion of the
lumber carried was saved. The body
of the cook was found by members
of the Cape Hatteras life-saving
crew on October 16, dozen miles
from the scene of the disaster. The
body OF the Negro seaman was
picked up by the Big Kinnakeet
crew on the 18th.

as follows:
when the towline parted we ran
up the forestaysail, forsail, and
mainsail on the barge, and tried to
stand offshore on the port tack, but
could do nothing, as we lay in the
trough of the sea. The Katahdin
came up and told our captain to
try to get to Hatteras on the star
board tack, but we found that we
could not do anything with her.
The Katahdin came up again
shortly afterwards and tried to
pass us a three-inch heaving line,
but missed. The second time she
tried we got the line and began
hauling it in, but the steamer went
ahead before we got the hawser on
board and the running line parted.
The Katahdin then signaled to US
to anchor.

over three and one-half fathoms of
water. We let go our anchor, run

but it would not hold in the sea and

to the breakers and stranded. This
was somewhere near midnight. We
made no distress signals, as we
had only the red and green side

had we any chance to put up any.
We started to throw over the deck

So an Hour for

self extra egg dollars by following it.
Mrs. Beaudry is one of the rela-

been Is to 20 cents premium for
every dozen eggs she sells.
It's a nice profit for this farm
woman and, she believes, one that

poultry raisers could be making.
Farmers can produce good quality
eggs, keep them That way and mar
ket them that way" she says. "a
little more care, a little more time
and effort to grade them-that's all
it takes"
Nor is there any mystery about
grading, according to Mrs. Beaudry.

different grades look like. Once
you do, you need nothing unusual.

a premium to regular, egg-wise con-
sumers who have learned that
Beaudry eggs are quality eggs.
ct sell eggs of all Sizes" Mrs. Beau
dry says, ''but 1 never sell any that
grade below AA. However, I've
found that with care in handling and
management, few will grade lower"
Frequent gathering is extremely
important in m in t a lining egg
quality, she says. She gathers eggs
at least twice q day, more often
during the heat of summer, and
takes them Immediately to a cellar
where the temperature is constantly
cool. There she leaves them for at
least "a hours, since she's found
grading is easier after the eggs have
been stored a short time.
Then, during evening hours or
spare day time, Mrs. Beaudry cleans
and weighs the eggs, sorting them
into pans according to size. That
prepares them for the final step,
when she candles and cartons the
eggs and affixes an official grade
seal. For Mrs. Beaudry, as for any
farm woman with working husband
and young family, these spare time
hours are sometimes hard to find.
But at So and four-about what
she earns for gradlng-she believes
it is time well spent.
The poultry set-up on the Beaudry
farm is, as Mrs. Beaudry puts it,
zone you could find on most farms. :"
The laying house IS adequate for
$50 hens. Running water is avail
able. A built-up litter system is
followed so, barring unusual damp
ness, the house is cleaned just once
year-generally in July, when it
is thoroughly disinfected before the
pullets are moved In.
Since she sells all the hens after
their first producing year, Mrs
Beaudry prefers New Hampshires
for her poultry flock. She buys
chicks every year about the last Of
March, planning to get them into
production in Az months.
She uses commercial mash to star
the chicks, then gradually switche:
to homegrown grams and range. By
the time the puilets begin laying
they are being fed mixture of hal
wheat and a quarter each of oat
and barley, plus oyster shell. Ant
right from the start, they are givel
all the skim milk they can use.

Martin Sees 2O-Seaf
Gain for Republicans
In House Next Year
By Robert K. Welsh

Speaker Martin, about to leave
for Europe, took a broad look at
the. future yesterday and pre-
dicted that Republicans would
gain from 20 to Is additional
House seats in the 1854 elections.
He asserted that a Democratic
controlled Congress confronting
Republican administration
would be bad thing for the
Nation and the world. And he
declared that the American peo-
pie, despite some dissatisfaction,
especially among farmers. want
to give President Eisenhower
every opportunity to make
good"
The President, however, would
not have chance with a Con-
gress controlled by an increas-
ingly critical opposing party, he
said.
Mr.. Martin, who leaves next
Thursday for Germany, Italy.
Yugoslavia, Spain, France and
England. voiced these views at
news conference.
Other observations by the
Speaker included:
/. There is mot much chance"
that the House would approve a
sales tax. Mr.. Martin indicated
that this applied not only to a
retail sales tax, which President
Eisenhower opposes, but also a
sales tax at the manufacturers
level which the President indi-
Gated is still under consideration
by Treasury officials.
2. There will be no special
sessions of Congress this year.
Moreover, "if we are diligent.
and get promptly to work in
January and February" Con-
gress should be able to adjourn
early in next summer.
8. His recent trips to Okla
homa. Illinois and New England
had convinced him that reports
of unrest, especially among
farmers, are exaggerated.
4. In connection with his pre-
diction that the Republicans
would pick up to 20 to rs seats
in the House in 1854 he said that
Representative Broyhill. Repub-
lican. from nearby Virginia. is
safe" for reelection.
