in 1918 by operating a launch at

ty until retirement except for a
about two years spent at the John

high esteem by the men under his
supervision and by his superiors.
About a year ago his health be-
gan to fail in December the doc
stors declared him unable to work

man he had enough accumulated
sick leave to carry him six
months to June 16, Army Engi-
neers Day. He. received his 40
year service pin, and gold
watch as token Of his long and
faithful service.
The old Roanoke can't go on
without her faithful captain and
she, too is being retired. He will
remain in Norfolk with his three
grandchildren and watch them
grow up.
Capt. Primer is brother OF
Mrs. Roland Sawyer of Manteo.
Mrs. Primer is the former Mary

COAST GUARDSMEN RESCUE
GIRL NEAR DROWNING


KITTY HAWK-The following
account has been furnished this
newspaper by interested parties,
certifying to an act of heroism on
Saturday.
On Saturday, at Rodanthe, 10
Gated on the Outer Banks, 2 chill
dren, Marsha Lynn Williams, eight
years old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Leon Williams of Elizabeth
City, and Brenda O'Neal, IL years
old of Rodanthe while swimming in
the surf were caught by an I'M
der-tow and carried out to the open
sea.
The younger girl had lost her
ability to keep afloat and the older
girl was in a helpless condition
when persons on the beach were
attracted by the O'Neal girls
screams. The older girl at this
time was beyond the #. breakers
and about rs yards off shore in
about 6 #. of water and the
younger child was about 20 yards
further out.
Jack V. Hendricks, of Dearborn,
Mich, and his brother William C.
Hendricks, Jr., of Branford, Con-
necticut and the latter's ID year
old son, William C. Hendricks, III,
entered the surf and effected the
rescue of the children, Jack v.
Hendricks bringing in Brenda
O'Neal and Billy Hendricks and
his father bringing in the Williams
girl. Because of the condition of
the sea, these persons risked their
lives in going out so far to effect
the rescue and spectators are of
the opinion that both children un-
doubtedly would have drown if this
rescue had not been effected.
Both girls were given artificial
respiration on the beach and the
younger child, who failed to regain
consciousness for over an hour was
hospitalized in Elizabeth City by
the Coast Guard personnel from
the Oregon Inlet station.
The following account is an ear
lier version of this case which came
to this newspaper:
Marsha Lynn Williams, 8, of
Elizabeth City, owes her life to
the knowledge of two Coast
Guardsmen at Ro d a e, who
brought her to life with mouth to
mouth respiration, after she had
been rescued from hole by
David Hendricks Jr. in which she
was near drowning at the village.
The girl, visiting at the home of a
cousin, Brenda O'Neal.
David P. Farrow and Carlton E.
Adams of the Oregon Inlet Coast
Guard station took turns at
respiration.
The girl had been swimming in
the sea near one of the shipwrecks
and was several yards off shore
before Mr.. Hendricks reached her.
She received treatment at the
health center, Buxton, and later at
Elizabeth City hospital where she
was released Sunday morning.

1t meant sacrifice and hard
ship to attend rehearsals on
cold winter nights, using trans.
portation that was crude by to-

walk to and from rehearsals
playing as they walked. And 1t
was not unusual for members of
the band to stop harvesting, or
some other important task, to
a tie n d a band engagement.
When they got there, like as
not. their concert stage would
