Gallant Deeds of By-Gone
Years in The Walter
Raleigh Coastland.
WRECK OF THE SCHOONER
NATHANIEL LANK

The tragic death of her Captain
near Gull Shoal occurred on Janu-
airy %, 1891, at the wreck of the
three-masted schooner, Nathaniel
Lark, of Wilmington, Delaware
Her Captain, N. J. Simple, of
Frederick, Delaware, was drowned
The Lark was a craft of two hun
bred and lightweight tons regis
ter, with crew of eight men. She
stranded on the coast of Dare
County, about three and a half
miles north of the Gull Shoal Sta
ton, (Sixth District), at 4 o'clock
am, while on her way to the
Delaware Breakwater for orders,
with a cargo of sugar from st.
Thomas, West Indies.
The weather was thick and
rainy, accompanied by fresh
gale from the south-southeast, and
the sea was running high and
rough. She struck about two hun
dred yards from the beach, a
little south of the halfway point

HEALTH OFFICER CALLS
ATTENTION TO CANCER

A free detection examination for
possible cases of mouth cancer will
attract statewide attendance, in
Guiding persons from these coun-
ties, has been disclosed by an Of
fetal of the American Cancer So
ciety.
DR.. w. w. Johnston, District
health officer for Hyde. Dare and
Tyrrell mentions that North Caro-
lina's first free oral cancer detec-
ton project will be held Friday,
October 10 from 11:00 am. to 700
pm. at Duke and Watts Hospitals
in Durham and UNC School of
DENTISTRY in Chapel Hill.
The project, jointly sponsored
by the North Carolina Dental So
ciety and the North Carolina Divi-
sion of the American Cancer Soci-
ETY., is aimed at reducing the death
rate from cancer of the oral cavi-
ty. This site of cancer took 80 lives
throughout the state last year, DIR.
Johnston explained. "The tragedy
is that in almost every instance
mouth cancer need not be fatal
he said.
More than so dentists will par
ticipate in the project. Members
of the Orange County and Durham
County Dental Societies will do
nate their services.
Dentists viii examine the oral
cavity for suspicious signs of cam
Ger. Where symptoms are noticed,
biopsy will be taken for exami-
nation by a pathologist. Results of
this microscopic examination of a
tiny tissue specimen will be re-
ported to the family dentist or
physician. In each instance the
ACS plans to follow-up these re-
ports to assure that the patient
takes the proper action if a posi-
tive diagnosis is found.
"The one-day clinic may set a
pattern for future casefinding
projects in North Carolina. The
State Dental Society will observe
the results in the light of estab-
fishing methods for detecting oral
cancer at an early, durable stage"

| between the Chicamicomlco and
Gull Shoal Station, just within the
latter's precinct. She was quickly
discovered by two patrols, who at
once hurried to their respective
stations with the alarms, and,
after brief consultation between
the two keepers by telephone, as
to what appliances each should
take with the view of working in
consent, they set out with their
men to the scene of the wreck,
concert, they set out with their
surfboat on its carriage, and the
Chicamicomico their beach appara-
tus as agreed upon.
Before setting out, Keeper
David M. Pugh of Gull Shoal, sent
up two rockets for the twofold
purpose of calling his suth patrol
and signaling to the people on the
stranded schooner that aid was
coming. 1t was about $50 o'clock
when he started, and fully an
: hour was consumed in reaching
the place of operations, the tide
being high and travel necessarily
slow over the soft and yielding
sand.
Two Crews at Once
The two crews arrived on the
ground at almost the same time.
1t was seen at a glance that the
surf was too high for boat service.
Keeper Joe Wescott therefore
turned his beach apparatus over
to Capt. Pugh, within whose patrol
| limits the vessel lay, and placed
himself and his men under Pugh's
direction and with this under
standing to start with, the two
crews worked skillfully and har-
moniously together until the end
for which they had assembled had
been accomplished.
When all was in readiness the
first shot from the gun carried
the line over the spring stay be-
JWeeH Tile HILL dilu UllLAeH Hl1Slo'
The crew were grouped on the
forecastle and bowsprit, and APP
parently made no effort to get aft
to reach this line, so when the
beachmen observed this as the day
dawned they put another shot
line into use and throw it within
easy grasp of the men.
The whip was then bent on and
| the sailors began hauling it off,
! but when they had pulled it half
way to the schooner it snapped in
two and communication was sew
cred. But this mishap delayed
operations only short time, as a
third shot was fired with the dry
off shore end of the broken line
attached, and this caught on the
end of the flying jib boom and
was quickly secured by the sailors.
Greater caution was now observ-
ed by the latter in hauling the
whip. off, and being aided in this

MOST SEA OFFICERS
OWN HOME ASHORE
Average One is Found TO Be High
School Graduate Earning $7s5
Month

(From the New York Times)
A composite picture of an Off
Ger in the American merchant ma
rine-deck, engine or radio-shows
him as a native,.b born American
who holds no more than a high
school diploma is married, owns
his home and has a base pay OF
about $785 month.
In addition, he is veteran of
military sea service, although he
has not maintained membership in
reserve phase of this service,
and he will spend ten to fifteen
years at sea before switching to q
shoreside job.
When he goes ashore, however,
his income generally declines about
40 per cent. Although his yearly
salary may be slightly above his
seagoing base pay, he loses the 40
per cent in overtime and emolu-
ments such as board and lodging.
The picture is drawn from an
officer survey made during the
second half of last year by the
Maritime Administration. I h e
agency polled 1887 men, seeking
answers to seventeen questions.
The administration said 11,405
men, or 80 per cent of the total
then employed, answered the ques-
tionaires.
The Maritime Administration
felt that a need existed for more
information about the officers who
man the bridges, engines rooms
and communication centers of the
merchant fleet.
The agency listed the officers
questions as 1882 in the deck cat
egory, 1892 in engine and 1,161
in radio. During the survey the
number of active United States
flag ships averaged 1,061.
Radio officers, it was found,
held the highest percentages in
both the native-born and veteran
categories, with 81 and Al per
cent respectively. Of the deck
officers 70 per cent were native
Americans and 81 per cent of them
had served with the military. En-
gineer officer totals were 81 per
cent and "a per cent, respectively.
In educational qualifications, the
study showed 3,703 officers fin
ished high school and 3,008 had
three years or less. There were
266 college graduates and 1870
had some college training. The
survey also listed 1,1S4 as "mili-
tary-maritime" academy graduates.
| Deck officers appeared to show
the greatest inclination toward
marriage. The totals were just I'M
der three to one for the deck men,
two and a half to one for the engi-
neers and one and a half to one
for the radio officers. Overall, It's
per cent of those questioned were
married.
In home occupancy owners had
a slight edge over tenants. The
survey said $40 per cent owned
their own homes. A closer exami-
nation of the figures, however,
showed that non-owner radiomen
led by 618 to 543.
A graph supplied by the Mari
time Administration showed ship

masters generally 40 to SO years
old; chief mates 80 to so and other
mates 80 to al. Engineers officers
were slightly older. In radio the
trend was to younger men, but
they continue at sea longer than
those in the other services, except
perhaps masters and chief engi-
neers.
Duration of sea service, the
Maritime Administration found,
was at its highest point in the
ten to fourteen year class, with
fifteen to nineteen years not far
behind. Continuance of the service
dropped sharply after nineteen
years at sea.
