Messages From This Island Leap
40 Miles by Air Before Wires
Handle Them

It's long time since Professor
Reginald A. Fessenden in 1902
perfected his wireless telephone
with messages sent across Pamlico
Sound from Roanoke Island to
Kings Point near Hatteras, a dis
lance of 40 miles and better. To-
day, Ocracoke Island has telephone
service by the same method, al
though more than half a century
has passed by.
During this spring, more than
so telephones will be installed in
Ocracoke residences, but while
wires serving the homes, will run
up and down the village, wires are
not used again, until the messages
leap across Pamlico Sound to En-
gelhard where they are picked up
at tall tower, and transmitted
over the system of the Carolina
Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany.
When this phone service was
installed two weeks ago, Gaynelle
Spencer of Ocracoke made a call
to California, and talked to rela-
tives clearly all the way across
the continent. The first call was
made by Stanley Wahab, Chairman
of the Utilities Commission in
Raleigh, and the second was made
by Principal Theodore Rondthaler
of the .Ocracoke School to his
father, the aged Bishop in Win
ston-Salem.
Only three phones are now i'm
stalled on the island: at the Wahab
Village Hotel, Silver Lake Inn,
and the Community store. The
Ocracoke School news reports that
Jake Alligood, among the early
callers on Sunday morning, tele-
phoned his friend, Wayland Ser
mons of Washington.

Ex-FlREMAN LOSES HOME
BY FIRE IN KITTY HAWK

Lockwood G. Perry of Kitty
Hawk helped to put out many. fires
before he retired from the Wash
ington, D. C. fire department and
came back home to take it easy,
but he failed last week when his
own home in the Kitty Hawk
woods caught fire and destroyed it
with all his belongings, including
refrigerator and furniture, radio,
and even his treasured guns and
ammunition.
When the fire awoke him about
2 am. he rushed outside to bring
water up to the house in an at
tempt 10 put it out, but the fire
had gained so much Roadway he
couldn't even get back in the door.
During the fire, he sustained some
slight burns and singed eyebrows,
and found himself homeless on .
cold night IN his sleeping clothes.
At Kill Devil Hills this week,
the Kill Devil Hills fire depart
ment answered its 18th call since
it was organized last year, when
it went to Mays Head to put out
trash fire which threatened the
home of S. ]. Irvine.

$4,000 PROJECT

facility is known as gap filler"
and has to do with the radar in
stallations used by the armed

The project will cost about
$4,000 and is to be located on the
Middletown highway a short dis
lance from Engelhard. The con-
tractors are Miller Building Corp.

Some months ago, we invited
contributions of a certain type of
articles dealing with the old time
hunting clubs on our coast. We
sought to dig up some stories about
these clubs owned by northern men
and other non-residents who came
to North Carolina and built up
numerous establishments, some of
them on big scale. We wanted
stories about the contribution they
made to our economy in those
days. Some of the members helped
out in many ways, while others
were grouches and tight-wads.
Some helped boys off to school or
to good jobs, and one even gave
Dare County some $4,000.
But we failed to get any stories
about these clubs. We did get a
number of contributions about
hunting activities of other types,
mostly about establishments which
took, in sportsmen and entertained
them by day or week. Among
these is an interesting article by
Rowan Dudley of Manteo. Mr..
Dudley is a born hunter, even as
was his father, and he started
when a mere boy. He is one of the
few men in the county who yet
keeps a small flock of Canadian
geese, just for sentiment sake, and
he knows apart the voices of each
goose in his flock, each one having
its own name.
He now recalls when he was en-
gagged with r. B. Lennon Of Man
teo some 80 years ago in the oper-
alton of Camp Wickie, down in the
Cow Island marshes southeast of
Manteo. He says: "this was small
place located on Mays Head beach
about three miles south of the
Manteo Causeway and was a
mighty good place for hunting. A
few days before the seasons open
ing date, we would begin moving
into the camp in preparation for
hunting. This began before the day
of the bridge and roads. We had
about rs live Canada geese, and
also about so wild mallard ducks.
We controlled them by "strapping
them" with a small leather thong
and a ring on their leg, and they
were tied out to a short wooden
peg stuck in the ground and
fastened to about three feet of
cable with a swivel snap hook.
These birds were transported in
coops which would float like a
boat when needed, with Stats
across the top TO keep the birds

Msnteoi HID Clubs Acting as
Chairmen in Other Parts

The 1856 March of Dimes in

erously as possible to this worthy
cause.

raised $254.28 of its quota, and

in and allow them to stick their
heads out.
Our main vehicle of transporter
ton was cart pulled by two
steers, old Will and old Dick, and
if we were late returning to the
camp after week end home, they
would come to the camp from down
in the marsh as soon as we lighted
a lamp in the camp. We fed them
and shut them up so they would
be on hand early next morning, and
we also kept our geese in small
pen. We arose about five am. and
when We had hunting parties, we'd,
get breakfast ready. After eating,
we would hook up Will and Dick,
pen the geese and ducks into a
corner, and load them into the box
es on the cart. Sometimes we would
have three coops in order to- serve
all our parties, and then we would
take off down the shore toward
the blinds as far as two miles from
the camp. We would pick good
spots to tie out for each party. then
move on until all were tied out.
When the coops of birds had been
unloaded, we would float it out to
the blind. After tying out the de-
coys, the box would be hidden in
the nearby rushes. Then with lunch
box, guns and ammunition, the
hunters would get in the blind.
After the last stand of decoys
had been tied out, the steers would
be driven ashore some distance
away, unhitched and staked out to
Craze all day. A jack pot would
be left at the camp for the hunter
getting the best hunt during the
day.
We had at the head of each flock
what we called the watch gan
der" and when he saw birds flying
around, he would 4 start calling
them, whereupon the whole flock
would start hopking- calling the
birds to the blind, and believe me
that was some music, when we saw
the old geese coming in, setting
their wings and drop their feet
down amid the decoys. Then the
hunters would talk it over and de-
eide just which birds to shoot, and
in this manner we got some fine
results. These nice hunts made
everybody happy, and we enjoyed
ourselves looking and listening at
the decoys, which made the day
really go by in hurry.
About noon we would eat
lunch, then settle down for
