happy to find so much of Catho-

from the pure original source Of

take up a derivative religion?
Well, anyways for met

brought to me by an appreciative
Catholic, a printer, who works on
the daily newspaper that employs
me, too.
My Catholic friend-his name

a large circulation among them

of US to know all this"
Clint and I have worked in
the same newspaper office more
than 40 years and have never
thought of each other as people
religiously separated. We knew
each other only as friends.
If the matter of religion ever
was brought up between US.
Clint's idea was that he and I
were people out of the same God.
even though we did not attend
different churches: and did God
know who was the Catholic. who
was the Jew when He looked
down at US in our worship?
The theologians of both sides
have made it all a lot more COM

vested interests in their special
religions. Plain people, Of whom
I know many, divest deity of the

Leon Paul had written his piece

really and truly a Jew. He OBJ

The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1953-11-06
By NORWOOD YOUNG
Gin The News and Observer)

- The village of Portsmouth,
HSrth Carolina, Tolls peacefully
among the ancient cedars and
yaupon of Portsmouth Island, on
salty Core Banks, like a con-
tented old man dreaming in the
wind and sun. However, Ports
mouth is older than any man,
two hundred years old this year.
History states that in 1853 the
village of Portsmouth was laid
out on Core Banks in lots of one
half acre each on a fifty-acre
tract, and anyone wishing to
settle could do so by taking up
lot and paying twenty shillings
proclamation money.
But earlier than 1853 English
men were living on the site of
Portsmouth. John Lawson, the
English explorer, for one, had
been there. He wrote in his His
tory of North Carolina, published
in 1909, "Ocacock is the best in
let and harbour yet in this coun-
try, and has thirteen foot at low
water upon this bar" One chan
mel Lawson described as lying
between the Middle Ground and
South Shoar and is above half
a Mile wide. The bar itself is but
a half cables length over and
then you are in seven or eight
fathom water, a good Harbour. 4"
The South Shear" was Ports
mouth Island.
Portsmouth in the early zoos
was purely al maritime settle
ment, and an important one, con-
cerned with the traffic of sailing

wild ducks and geese was en-
gagged in by many on the island
The breeders had special brand
for their geese, a certain clipped
toe or other mark to designate
ownership, with the individual
brands registered in the court
house at Beaufort. The island
dogs chased the geese until ali
dogs were banished from the
place, and to this day it is illegal
to have a dog on Portsmouth.
Early Homes Gone.
Not many of the early homes
are left on the island, some
few have the long roof line and
dormered windows of the 18th
century. The islanders say many
of the first homes were built near
the sea and encroaching sands
undermined them. Through the
years, as is the custom every
where, different generations must
build their own homes to suit
their own day.
Almost every house has its
summer kitchen, an airy, many
windowed room in the back yard,
in which all cooking, and, usual
ly, all dining take place through
the summer months. The main
house kitchen is operated in the
winter time. Not many houses
have electricity or plumbing
Sometimes there is running water
in the house from the rainwater
cistern, the only supply of water.
And in practically every kitchen
dooryard is a "cool house." a
tiny house on stills, carefully
screened in which is kept food
stuffs to be cooled in the sea
wind.
Strangely there are few, if any,
liveoak trees on the island, only
the great, wind-blown old cedars
around the homes or the sites of
former homes, with everywhere
the yaupon, the bay, the myrtle.
The brilliant red berries of the
,yaupon, and the soft grey of
the myrtle berries brighten the
paths of Portsmouth in winter.
There are certain thoughtful
people from the outside world
who appreciate the sequestered
charm of Portsmouth. In recent
years college professors, minist-
ers, doctors, and other discerning
individuals have made their habit
to come to the island in the sum-
mertime. Several have seen the
beauty of the deserted old houses
and bought them.
Artist Buys Home.
A well known young artist
Charles Sibley of Huntington, w
Va, a few years ago bought the
unused schoolhouse at Ports
mouth and transformed it into
an attractive home, which he
occupies when he is not teaching
art in the State University o.
Texas. Charles, beloved by the
people of Portsmouth, find:
choice material for painting
along the shores of Portsmouth
Notable examples of his worl
have hung in the importan
galleries of the country.
Raleigh interests have recent,

/ various parts of the country.
The three-masted schooner
John I. Snow, bound from Boston
for Miami, in 1907 went ashore
off Portsmouth in one of the
/ areas rare fogs. The general
cargo was lost, but the crew was
saved.
In 1913 the Luna, a sailing
vessel, northbound with a cargo
of lumber, got off her course and
ended as a complete loss on the
shores of Portsmouth. The crew
was removed safely by breaches
buoy.
Freighter Aground
The S. S. Miget, a freighter
went aground on the shoals off
Portsmouth in 1852, all her crew
and some of her cargo being
saved. And there she is today,
with her nose stuck in the sands
of Portsmouth beach, a part of
the local color, "the wreck" to
! be pointed out to all visitors.
Some day she'll break up COM
! pletely and become driftwood to
be picked up on the shores of
Portsmouth.
With all its storms and ship
wrecks, Portsmouth, has existed
most of the time without coast
guard station. About 1890 life
! saving station was established,
! but discontinued some Is years
ago, after it had been taken over
by the coast guard. The station
building is now private property
What of Portsmouth today,
after 200 years of adventurous
living as the gateway to a new
world, important living as a
busy town, and then a slower
tempo. Now the quiet years have
! come, and the ancient village is
like an ancient man, after full
life, dreams in the salty wind
and sun.
Never Lock Doors.
| Portsmouth is a place of tran
guilty, no noise except the wind
the sea, and the birds. There are
no dogs, no cats, no poisonous
/ snakes, nothing harmful on the
island, only a group of gentle
kindly people, who never loci
their doors. The contacts with
! the outside world are the mai
boat twice a day, except Sun
day, and a telephone kept in the
abandoned coast guard station
for emergencies.
Life has few complexities
There is no PTA, no school, fol
there are no children; no Ladie
Aid, no church services, because
the little white, steepled church
has no pastor; no civic clubs, be
cause nobody needs them.
