more time for training than
would be possible in the North
Atlantic in winter. The Bordelon

lands. Ample liberty combined
with rigoruos training is design
ed to keep Atlantic Fleet ships
in a high state of battle readiness
and maintain high morale.

HARBOR SEAL TAKEN
IN OREGON INLET

The strange animal described as
several things ranging up to sea
elephants is only harbor seal.
The little Aquatic animal was
caught in the nets of Claude Lew
ark of Elizabeth City while trawl-
ing for fish off Oregon Inlet re-
Gently. Eerbor seals, a species
common in east coast waters of
New England and southwark to
Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout

teras ferry. The fur of this species
is valueless, and they usually live
for only a short time in captivity.
Lewark's catch is currently alive

FIRE FIGHTING
TRAINING AT
CAPE HATTERAS

AT the very top of the list of
things that National Park Ser
vice people, from director Con-
rad Wirth down to the newest re-
cruit ranger lie away nights and
worry about is fire and next
after that is the accumulation of
litter, or just plain trash, in their
parks. They know from their
statistics that about 90 per
cent of the 10000 firest fires
that rage throughout the United
States annually, get started when
somebody applies fire to trash.
First thing the Park Service
people bought when they started
moving on Hatteras Island to lay
the foundations for what will be-
come one of the great recreation
al areas of America was some
tools to fight fire with, modern
stuff. They accumulated axes
and rakes and flaps and bush
hooks and shovels Qadies' size,
even if fire-fighting is not
lady's work. The shovels are light
and easy to handle.)
And also a dozen portable fire
pumps, each lusty enough to
throw good stream over a good
sized house. Next thing was to
get somebody to help use them
in emergency and day for some
preliminary training. Senior stu
dents from the Islands High
high school, and crewmen from
the U. S. Lifesaving Station at
Cape Hatteras were invited.
They came with considerable
alacrity.
There was no scarcity of trash
with which to make a fire. There
are thousands of tons of dead
trees, left from the $4,000 young
pines that were killed on April
II, 1850 when fire swept the area.
And there is still a lot of bare
space from that fire where an
other can be had without much
danger of spreading.
Chief Park Ranger C. L. HUT
man and District Ranger Charles
G. Lamb explained each tool, the
theory back of each and what to
do with it and why it was made
just so. And then the fire-and
the putting out of it. There was
a lot of water left in the fire
pumps and of course the in
evitable happened. One high
school boy turned his jet of water
on another.
Chief Ranger Huffman and
Ranger Lamb were highly pleas
ed by the response to their over
lures toward the resident popula-
even when it sort of stopped over
after the fire was out. The Coast
Guard has willingly added fire
to the things observed and re-
ported from the amending vigil
they keep in the watch towers
along the Island, and the Park
Service is not so worried about
the possibility of fire as it was.
