ATLANTA--The tree planting
program of the pulp and paper in
dustry and pulpwood suppliers in
North Carolina reached an all-time
high with the planting of $685.
300 trees during the 1850 period,
and up "a percent over last year,
according to an eleven-state survey
conducted by the Southern Pulp
wood Conservation Association.
Henry J. Malsberger, of Atlanta,

said that of this number, 6,2O7,25
seedlings were given to private
landowners in the State. In the
southern region, the industry's
program accounted for more than
373.00O,000 seedlings, an increase
of 24,000,000 over the previous
record. More than 55 percent of
these trees planted, or 2O7, 100000,
were produced by the 10 industry

planting of 100000 trets in the
South.
Private landowners in the region
last season received 100000
trees asd during the past ten years
have received 402, 100000 seedlings
from the industry, Malsberger said.

II was sick and had sent for the
keeper of No. 16 to take his place.
The survivors were taken to No.
10 and made as comfortable as
possible, the keeper and men plac-
ing their clothes and possessions
generally at their disposal.
"Keeper Ban Midgett's wife or
some other woman from the
neighborhood was with Mrs. Hunt
er constantly while she remained
at the station, attending to her
wants. The box of clothing shipped
to the Station No. II by the Wom-
ans National Relief Association
was subsequently sent for and the
contents placed at the disposal of
the survivors. The supply of wom-
ems underwear, and mems clothes
and shoes, and tea, sugar and beef
extract were need especially, and
proved to be of great benefit to
the survivors, who were completely
destitute.

determined to make an attempt to
send cork jackets off to the wreck,
it being impossible that the sur
vivors could be taken off before
dark. He fired one shot, which fell
short, and then, cutting the shot
line off at the shore end, fired
another which also fell short, al
though he testified that one of the
men on the beach said he saw a
man on the wreck throw the blight
of the line overheard from the end
of the jib-boom, where it had
lodged. This was probably mis-
take, as no one on the vessel knew
of the circumstance.
"About shutdown Captain Hunter
fell off the bowsprit, apparently
unable to maintain his position
any longer, and drifted to leeward
with one arm through a life-pre-
server. He never reached the land.
just before dark the keeper of No.
IL and the men who had gone for
the boat returned without it, hav-
ing been unable to haul it up the
beach. They decided to return
across the inlet to their station in
order to get something to eat and
to resume their patrol of the beach
for the night.
"This they accomplished after a
severe struggle, the men having to
wade with their boat across the
shoals whenever they could obtain
a foothold. The keeper of No. 10
also returned to his station, leav-
ing two or three men from No. 10
on the beach to keep watch. About
seven pm, the wind having mod
Grated little, the keeper of No.
1S having rested and partly re-
covered from his sickness, started
with four of his men and four
horses to haul the surfboat up to
the wreck. They succeeded in get
ting her up there in about three
hours from the time of starting.
They remained on the beach all
night, keeping up fire and MAX
ing several futile attempts to
launch the boat.
at was not until the next morn
ing that they were enabled to get
the boat clear of the beach. They
succeeded in getting under the bow
of the wreck, but could not hold
on and were obliged to come
ashore again. They then waited
until about eight am, when, the
tide having fallen and the sea
moderated little, they made an
other attempt to launch, which
was successful. They made fast to
the vessel under the bow, and,
sending two men on board, lower
ed the survivors into the boat, and
watching their chance, all hands
were landed safely on the beach.

Mrs. Hunter, her child, the second
mate, two seamen, and the steward.
The child died that night at the
station from exposure in spite of
all efforts made to save it. Harry
Brien, one of the seamen, testified
that after the captain had fallen
overheard he came in off the jib-
boom that evening about half past
nine and found that the child had
slipped from it's lashings and was
hanging head down by it's toes
alongside of the bowsprit. He pick
ed it up and covering it with can
vas laid it on top of the bowsprit.
After they had landed, the keeper
of No. 16, with three of his men
and three from No. II, arrived at
the wreck, also the keeper and

seamen and steward, were taken
to Elizabeth City in the revenue
sloop Saville on their way North,
and free passes were procured for
the two seamen to Boston and for
the steward to New York.
at was reported that the cap
tain's body was robbed of $500
after it was found on the beach.
This story is entirely without
foundation, and is unjust and cruel
to the life-saving men, who made
collins for the dead at their own
expense and buried them decently,
besides helping the survivors in
many practical ways, without
thought of or desire for recon-
pense.
at should have been mentioned
before that while Keeper Ban
Midget and the crew of No. Is
were trying to open communica-
ton with the wreck on the first
morning with the beach apparatus,
citizen came up the beach and
reported that a dead body had
washed ashore down below. 1t was
reported the next morning that the
body was warm when first dis
covered. Had it been known at the
time, an attempt might have been
made to resuscitate it.
"Mrs. Hunter was suffering so
much from exposure and bodily
injuries received during the time
that she was on the wreck, in addi-
ton to the loss of her husband
and three children, that it would
have been impossible to elicit any
information from her in regard to
the cause of the disaster. AS Hat
teras light bears due south from
Bodies Island light, and the YES
sci was steered south by west
after passing the last named light,
it would seem that a mistake was
made in the course either by the
captain or mate, neither of whom
appear to have been familiar with
the coast. The vessel had been
altered from a centerboard to a
keel schooner, which may account
partly for her breaking up so soon.
She was total wreck, nothing
being saved from her but part of
her sails and running and stand
ing rigging. The captain and three
children, mate and two seamen
had been picked up and buried on
the beach at last accounts, leaving
only one seaman to be accounted
for.
"In view of the foregoing facts,
I respectfully submit the opinion
that no blame attaches to the men
of the Life-Saving Service for fail
ure to rescue the crew of the Lam
caster sooner than they did. The
failure to work the beach appara-
| tus was caused by want of proper
! action on the part of the crew of
the wreck in hauling the whip
line off. From the position of the
wreck after the disaster, I am
confident that if they had taken
the shot-line to the capstan on the
| top-gallant forecastle there would
have been little difficulty in get
| ting the whip-line off, when all
would have been saved in short
| time. Also, if all hands had taken
| to the rigging at first they would
probably have been taken off safe
ly in the end"
