SayJL Larvae
attacking
Geauga Trees

The sawfly larvae are now
active in Geauga according to
Ture L. Johnson, Farm Fores-
ter for the area.
The sawfly is a serious ene-
my of Pine trees in forest plan
tationS, nurseries and ornamen-
tails.
The host trees in the area
are Red Pine, Scotch Pine,
Mugho Pine, Jack Pine, and
sometimes will get in such
great numbers to attack t n e
White Pine.
The young larvae are green
ish in color with black strips
on the back and have black
head. When in punches on the
ends of the branches they have
tendency to all move at one
time. The feeding habits of the
larvae are that they go ater
the stiff old growth needles
first, and then the new growth
when it comes out. The insects
can defoliate a complete tree
in a very short time, which
results in its death.
A control spray of 3 pounds
of lead arsenate to 100 gallons
of water, with about IL fulid
ounces of sin oil or linseed oil
added as a sticker. You can
also substitute Rotenone for the

feet of timber attached to it, had
come ashore. On this appeared her
name, the Frances" and her
home port, New York.
AS there were no survivors after
the wreck of the Frances" what
happened aboard the vessel before
the wreckage came ashore or what
brought misfortune upon her can
only be surmised. The vessel may
have become waterlogged and IN
danger of sinking from the stress
of heavy weather, and in last
desperate attempt to beach her in
order to save her crew it was lost.
Or the master of the Inflated
Frances" might have thought he
had passed Diamond Shoals and
consequently had hauled more to
the wind in order to come under
the lee of the land, thus unknow-
ingly getting too close inshore. In
any event, what happened aboard
the Frances" and to the eight men
who vanished with the vessel has
remained mystery to this day.

By EARL DEAN

Many ships have sailed from
port never to be heard from again
and the pages of marine history
are full of instances in which YES
sells and crews have been swallow
ed up with little more than a mo-
ment's notice somewhere far out
on the broad, restless waters of
the Atlantic Ocean. Such was the
fate of the schooner Frances" of
New York, bits of whose wreckage
were washed up on the beach near
Big Kinnakeet Coast Guard Sta
ton back in the old days of the
life saving service. And but for the
vigilance of the men who patrolled
the beach in those days the fate
of this vessel would probably
never have been known.
In the latter part of January,
1910, a wooden vessel of GIT tons
named the Frances" left New
York for Jacksonville, Fla, with
a cargo of cement. When she put
to sea she had on board a crew of
eight men. Early on the morning
of February she ran into heavy
seas off the North Carolina coast
and went to pieces during = severe
storm a few miles north of Cape
Hatteras, near Big Kinnakeet Life
Saving Station. But for the chance
discovery of a piece of her wreck
age bearing her name, the fate of
the schooner might never have
been known for all hands on board
persisted in the raging seas.
The night before this strange
disaster had been such a stormy
one even the ever-vigilant Coast
Guardsmen stationed on that
slender thread of sand known as
the Outer Banks were more watch
full than usual. A strong gale &C
companied by flurries of snow had
sprung up from the northwest
early in the evening. AS the wind
swept the beach it kicked up dry
sand from among the low-lying
sand dunes and drove it out over
the surf. Snow, sand and flying
spray formed curtain which shut
out the view seaward as effectively
as thick fog. Moreover, the temp
erature had fallen to near the
freezing point and the sea was run
ming unusually high. But in spite
of these weather conditions the
night was an uneventful one for
the life saving crews stationed
near Cape Hatteras. Yet some

No masts could be standing as
they were washing about on top
of the wreck. Although / remained
watching a few minutes saw no
signs of life. l judged the stricken
vessel to be about 600 yards from
the beach,"
Crews from three life saving
stations met on the beach before
the wreck about $3.50 am. but
there was no wreck work to be
done for the vessel had already
disintegrated. No masts could be
seen or any parts of her broken
hull, only confused wreckage in a
boiling surf. The fact that the
wreckage, which consisted of some
spars and other debris, did not
drift away in the tremendous
current then sweeping southwark
was probably due to the fact that
it was held fast by the rigging to
submerged parts of the vessel.
Little or nothing could be done
under the circumstances but
nevertheless ,surfmen were dis
persed up and down the beach in
order to be in readiness to haul
ashore any survivors or bodies
which the angry seas might cast
up. After a period of intense
watchfulness the surfmen on the
beach were convinced that there
was little or no hope of saving any
of the ships company, so they re-
turned to their respective stations.
Surfman Hooper, who first in
vestigated the strange disaster,
was on the beach again the follow
ing day and his official report
contained the following words with
respect to the state of the sea and
what he observed in the locality
of the wreck.
"The surf was still so high and
powerful as far out as the outer
shoals as to preclude any attempt
to launch boat from the beach,
even under the guidance of the
most able crew. Tremendous
combers crashed on the beach with
almost irresistible force, present
ing as they broke, not the curling,
concave front so familiar to break
ing waves, but simply waves drop
ping down like vertical walls of
Two Spars Washed Up
"All that remained of the ill
fated vessel were two spars on the
outer bar, about 600 yards off
shore, one apparently mast,
lying horizontally. The other,
a smaller timber, like a broken
lower boom, was standing vertical
ly. Both timbers were moving
since they evidently were attached
to some object under water, as
they remained in practically one
position.
Continuing on our way along
the beach southwark we found one
Of the vessels quarterboards with
her name painted on it. A little
further along a large portion of
her half breadth hull had been
washed up, and at distance of
probably a mile from the scene of
the wreck the entire breadth of
the vessels stern with some 20
