Polly Sanderlin is dead. No more
will her shrill cry "blood" re-echo
through the forests of Dare by
night; no more will she hold strange
orgies with the owls and snakes and
brew strange teas by the light of
the moon; no more will she paddle
her crude canoe in isolated places
and prowl naked far from the
haunts of men.
The death of Polly Sanleriin
marks the passing of the maddest
human being that ever lived in
this country, and we read of her
like only among the folk lore OF
witches in the black and supersti-
tious days of long ago.
Polly Sanderlin was born and
raised and lived her hideous life
at Sandy Ridge, near East Lake
in Dare County. She lived to the
age Of 95 it is certain. some say
she was 105 years old. Oldest resi-
dents remember her as handsome
woman grown to dignified middle
age when they were but children.
Polly was marked at birth by a
queer bump at the base of her
skull. A phrenologist of the olden
days predicted insanity for her. And
in 1874 she began to act queerly.
Her father had been murdered and
this helped to unsettle her mind.
She told neighbors she was turning
to SCOT and ashes. Other strange
Authorizations troubled her. All at
once she took an unusual liking to
animals. Putting on. her best black
silk, she would go into the fields
and sit for hours with the cattle
and pretend to converse with them.
And then one night she went
the home Of a neighbor. The neigh
Dor was the father Of Sam d.

Smith, a septagenarian who still
lives at East Lake and who remem.
bers distinctly every incident con-
nected with this visit.
At the Smith home Polly acted
queerly before retiring. She arose
dressed, called the family and ask
ed for prayers. She had them send
for a pious old man who lived far
down the road. He came and he
prayed. And even as he prayed the
thread snapped and Polly was a
raving lunatic. She cursed those who
prayed. She struck down a powerful
man who attempted to hold her. A
Negro slave was asked to hold her
She became more violent. Pointing
her finger at the black, she shrek
ed: at is written, it is written, it
is written. No Negro shall touch
the person of a white woman" And
the story is told that the Negro was
paralyzed with fright and fell in a
swoon.
It is told that the mad woman
then and there tore her clothing to
shreds and cast it aside,, Naked as
when she was born, she plunged in
to the woods. For days there was
no trace Of her, and then she was
captured near the Leigh farm in
Perquimans County.
She was taken back to Sandy
Ridge and put under lock and key
It is told that she would take
neither food nor drink for Is days
But fasting tanned her and she was
released. Free of her prison, she
drank a basin of water; hel

again into the woods.

TRAVEL STIRRING
EARLY OPENING
OF BEACHHOTELS
Warm Weafer Results in Increas.
ed Travel ION Dare Coast
This Spring
By AYCOCK BROWN

Summertime weather since early
March has caused a big increase
in travel to the Dare Coast region
One observer stated that more per-
SONS have visited the coast region
during the past Is days than dur
ing january and February combin-
ed.
National Park Service traffic
counts indicate that in January and
February a total of Is 949 persons
visited the Cape Hatteras National
Seashore. Of the two months total,
7,1S9 were counted in February.
Fortunately 5000 persons visit
ed the Wright Brothers National
Monument during the two months,
and less than 1000 persons were
counted at Fort Raleigh National
Historic Site.
Warm weather has made the
coast region more attractive TO
visitors and vacationists and the
early opening of many of the no.
tells and motels, which closed for
the winter, is expected. Only two OF
the larger motels were open during
the winter months. They were Bea-
con Motor Lodge and Cavalier
Motor Court. On Roanoke Island
Manteo Motel remained open
through the winter months and also
Fort Raleigh Hotel at Manteo.
With a new addition now COM
pleted the Sea Oatel in lower Mays
Head opened on March Is, and The
Caroiinian Hotel has announced its
formal opening for 1861 on March
90. Several of the Restaurants clos
ed for the winter will be opening
during early April, and by Pirate
Jamboree time on ADril %, 80, all
vacation facilities will be ready to
open.
On Mays Head there will be at
least two new motels and one trail
er court completed, ready for bust
ness.
On Hatteras Island the General
Mitchell Motel and The Sea Gull
are doubling capacity for vacation
lists in current construction of addi-
tons.

BUREAU
CHIEF is SPEAKER
TO ROTARY CLUB

Ben Williams, Texas1born obser.
YER in charge of the U. S. Weather
and Storm Warning station at Bux.
ton on Cape Hatteras said here
Monday night that movement OF
the high altitude jet stream south
ward from it's normal course was
responsible for the stormy and bit
terly cold winters that sometimes
are considered unusual in the
sonth.
"Likewise the movement Of the
jet stream back to it's norma
course has to do with early springs
such as experienced this year ano
referred to in long range forecasts
by the U. S. Weather Bureau sew.
eral weeks ago." he said.
Williams was the principal
speaker at the weekly meeting OF
the Manteo Rotary Club. His re-
marks and a question and answer
period was proceeded by a short
movie prepared by the National
Park Service which showed cloud
and the coastal area of
Cape Hatteras, and the various in
struments and facilities of the i'm
portant Cape Hatteras station
which is in his charge.
Giving the history of some of the
famous storms in years gone by
he said that the August hurricane
of 1899 was one Of the worst, con-
tinuing for so hours. The lowest
barometer was noted during the
hurricane of 1914 when a reading
of below % inches was recorded.
The wind velocity of Hurricane
Donna was as great or greater
than any preceding storm in Sec
tions where it struck, but this was
a storm of short duration, the hur-
ricane velocity continuing for only
a few hours.
OF surprising interest to many
of his listeners was Williams re-
port that the highest temperature
ever recorded at the Hatteras wea-
Their station was only 81 and the
lowest eight degrees. 1--WE normal
ly have only Is days of below free
zing weather at Cape Hatteras
during one year period, although
more days than that were recorded
during the past winter" he said.
