How would you like to have
an expense-paid trip to Las
Vegas? The Edward Wescotts
declared that they would and
sold $50 television sets to prove
it. AS a result, the couple wing

jet ever to leave Raleigh Air
port last Wednesday morning
and are headed for a carefree
vacation in Las Vegas at the
expense of General Electric and
Walker Martin, Inc.
The couple was loaded down
with sports clothes and several
bags of vacation paraphernalia
as they left Manteo for their
three-day pleasure trip. While
in Las Vegas they made

over.
Why the boat, in the hands
of AN experienced surfman,
should have capsized at the
very first encounter with the
breakers, would at first excite
surprise, but strangely enough
for a man of his experience, it
appears that Captain Murphy
attempted to steer at a perilous
moment with a rudder instead of
an oar. All the circumstances,
as developed at the investiga-
ton, confirm the opinion of the
witnesses that the misfortune
was chiefly due to Captain Muir
phys over-confidence in his
surfmanship which led him in
the first place to venture out
and remain under adverse con-
ditions, and then embodied him
to trust to a rudder instead of a
steering oar to guide his boat
through the breakers.
The cable gave way not long
after the accident occurred, and
the boat and net still attached
to it were recovered and sub
sequently turned over to their
owner, William Mott Tillett, but
although diligent search was at
once made and long continued,
neither of the bodies of the lost
men was found until five days
later, when that of Captain
Murphy was taken from the
surf on the beach near the. New
Inlet Station, some eight miles
to the southwark, whence, after
being properly cared for, it was
forwarded to his friends on Roa-
noke Island.

rections he was last seen
The boat and cargo valued at
100000 were saved.
Along toward 8 o'clock, how
ever, a spritsail boat was dis
covered making for the shore,
and Keeper NJ. w. Etheridge of
the Oregon Inlet Life Saving
Station, who knew the boat to be
in charge of Captain Murphy,
and therefore bound for the in
let took his marine glasses and
assembled the station lookout to
keep himself informed of the
progress of the boat, and to be
ready for action if mishap
should overtake her. When she
was still nearly a mile offshore
she was observed to be laying
her course directly homeward,
and as the sea was constantly
growing heavier and there was
strong flood tide, causing the
surf to break with much force
on the outer bar, the keepers
anxious hope that she might
pass the perilous line in safety
gave way to despair the instant
he saw her enter the breakers.
At almost the first contact with
them, the little craft fell off
suddenly, and then, as a great
wave struck her on the starboard
quarter, fully preached, rolled
over, and remained upside down,
with one man visible on the up
turned bottom.
A boat belonging to one of
the station crew was afloat just
inside the inlet, and the keeper
instantly sent his No. 1 man
with four surfmen, running as
fast as they could go to man it,
while he and Surfman Hayman,

abreast of the capsized boat
they could see no person upon it
or in it's vicinity, and then made
the discovery that it was held
fast, right where the capsize had
occurred, by the anchor which
had fallen out and taken hold
| of the ground. The breakers
were sweeping over it with such
force and volume that it was al
most constantly submerged, and
the opinion of the life-saving
men was unanimous that the
ablest boatman could not have
held on to it for five minutes.
Evidently both men were drown
ed within that space of time.
They were excellent swimmers,
but no man could long contend
with the waters surrounding
them.
The loss of the lives of these
two men was clearly not preven-
table in any way from the shore.
The boat afloat near the mouth
of the inlet which the life
savers proposed to use, was by
all odds the readiest means of
rescue at hand, but no crew
could have pulled it to the scene

in getting hold of the capsized

They used tires worn smooth and

On the road, they accelerated to 20
miles per hour, cut the ignition and
rolled until speed dropped to 5 miles per
hour. Then they repeated the cycle.
