POLITICS IN HYDE
CONTINUE HOT FOR
SECOND PRIMARY
Large Turnout Expected for Sat-

Warren Watson and
Dick O'Neal

Tension continues to rise in
Hyde County as Saturdays pri-
mary approaches, with w. Warren
Watson attempting to gain enough
votes to beat Dick O'Neal, who
was high man for representative
in the regular primary May 26.
Many observers are predicting a
larger turnout than was experience
ed in the first primary. Old-tim-
ers in the county say they have
never before known of such an in
tensive campaign being waged for
any county office.
The polls will open Saturday at
ESQ am. and will close at $3.50
pm. According to Fred A. Mason,
chairman of the Hyde County
Board of Elections, the second pri-
mary will cost the county between
$400 and $500.

ing to it at daylight and trying to
land. 1t was not then known
whether the schooner had stranded
on the main beach or on some
outlying shoal.
"The second mate and three men
got into the boat to keep it from
being smashed against the side of
the vessel. The rest of the crew
were engaged in collecting clothes
and supplies to put in the boat.
Soon after the boat was launched
a red light was seen inshore, which
afterward proved to be the Coston
light Of the patrolman from Sta
ton 18, who first discovered the
wreck. The boat, which was hang
ing by a new three or three and
a half inch line from the vessel
was shipping water constantly, and
one man was at work bailing it out
with a bucket to keep it free.
"About half an hour after the
boat was launched sea swept the
boat away, parting the painter and
drowning two of the men while the
second mate and other man sue
ceeded in holding on to rope fast
to the vessel hich led to the stern
of the boat. The second mates
leg was broken, it is supposed by
getting a turn of the rope around
it and he was supported in the
water alongside the vessel until
two of the crew, who heard them
calling for help, let a bow-line
down over the side and hauled
them on board, the second mate
first, then the man. The second
mate was put in the galley for
safety.
Child Swept From Mothers Arms
"About this time the seas
dashed in at the cabin windows and
the vessel commenced to break up

children were then taken to the
forecastle, but the water coming
in there, they were moved farther
forward to the wind-lass room.
After this the vessels decks COM

to come out. All hands then took
refuge on the topgallant fore

in the fore-rigging. The mate took
one child out on the bosprit, and

The Life Savers Appear
"By this time the Life-saving
men from Station Is had appeared
upon the scene and commenced
operations. The wreck had been
discovered by Benjamin O'Neal, a
substitute for the no. one surfman
who was home sick. He was on the
northern patrol from three am.
to sunrise. 1t was about four am;
the weather was misty and thick,
and as soon as he made out that a
vessel was ashore he burned his
red light and started for the sta
ton, which he reached about day
break, and Immediately called the
keeper. The crew were aroused,
and while two of them went after
their horses, the rest, including
Stanley Midget, a volunteer who
had been hauling wood to the sta
ton, started with the mortar-cart,
containing the beach apparatus. The
south patrolman had not yet re-
turned. They succeeded in getting
the mortar-cart some distance,
when the force of the gale COM
PEELED them to stop.
"The two men with their horses
then joined them, and they again
started up the beach in the face
of the gale. When about half a
mile on their way they were Joined
by the south patrol, who hitched
on his horse, making in all a force
of eight men and three horses
hauling the mortar-cart. They ar
rived at the scene of the wreck
about two hours after they started,
probably between seven and eight
o'clock. At times they were up to
their knees in the water running
across the beach from sea to
sound, which with the almost con-
