BEN DIXON MacNEILL is a gen.
Jus behind this cryptic countenance
who holds forth on Byrum Hill on
Cape Hatteras, in little cottage
from where he can look out upon
the bold ocean and the wide plains
to the southwest and the green
forest and rolling hills of the north
west. He has proved a friend of the
wildlife that centers about his cot
tage, and they come often to his
door-sill to manifest their conf
dence. In liberal writings sent
abroad, he has endowed them with
many captivating characteristics,
and the reading of them has thrill
ed and delighted and finally
brought to Hatteras many people
who otherwise mightn't have jour
neyed to the Stormy Cape. For
really, there are many charming
and sincere folk of this earth who
are not interested in proving their
skill with fishing poles, but are
just looking for interesting places
to visit. MacNeill did beautiful
page in the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot
Sunday. that told of Minnie the
Coon, the Pegler Mockingbird, and
many other creatures of the Cape
Woods who come to his door. Stor-
les of this kind, more than any
thing else, may bring to our shores
a dependable year round visitation
of these kind and gentle folk whose
patronage will thrive and grow
upon proper continuance of the old
time charm and courtesy of the
kind old Aatives who brought ear
lier fame to the Outer Banks.
Fame of goodness, and honesty and
hospitality that has never been
forgotten, but is now more eagerly
sought, and more gratefully ap-
preciated than ever. The Outer
Banks will continue to thrive on
the type of publicity from Mac
NeiIPs pen in the Norfolk paper.
1t is a type that has been neglected
by most writers. MacNeill may be
called a great press agent for
Hatteras Island.
