Tradition Of Old Nags Head Recalls
Mystery Of Lovely Lady Who Vanished

linians resumed their summer
visits to Nags Head, a popular
resort for several decades.
Among them was DIR. William
G. Pool of Pasquotank County.
He is said to have built the first
cottage on the ocean side, as
contrasted to the sound side,
where most summer residents
stayed. While at the beach, he
made his medical services avail
able to any who needed them.
Mysterious Portrait
Among his patients in the
summer of 1869 was an aged
woman who had lived all her
days in the Nags Head Country.
Money was scarce on the Outer
Banks as elsewhere; and when
time came to pay for his SER
vices, DIR. Pool suggested that
she let him have small por-
trait in oil that hung on the wall
of her modest cottage.
She gave him the picture, and
told an intriguing story of it.
Her late husband, she said, had
received it as part of his share of
the salvage from a small ship

CADET 1t. COL. JAMES C.
BURRUS of Engelhard, has
been graduated from the Uni
versity of North Carolina as a
distinguished military student
in the Air Force Reserve Off

To achieve this honor, Cadet
Burrus placed high in his class
in academic standing, distin-
guished himself as a military
leader and participated in extra
curricular activities.
Cadet Burrus was graduated
with B. S. degree in industrial
relations and was an active
member of the Scabbard and
Blade.

Brown has been serving as a
District Executive in the Miami
Valley Council at Dayton, Ohio.
Although native of North Da-
kota and raised in Minnesota,
he is no stranger to the Tide
water Area. He was a Navy
Corpsman, 2 C, stationed at
Portsmouth, Va. where he met
his wife, the former Miss jeanne
Zoll. Following their marriage
the couple lived in Richmond,
Va. where Brown received his B.
A. Degree from the University
of Richmond. While in that city
he served as Assistant Program
Director in the Richmond YIN.
CA. and he directed their camp
ing program.
Following college Brown en-
tered business with the Rike

in Dayton, Ohio, where he took
managerial training and became
an assistant department mana
ger.
He and his wife will reside in
Elizabeth City which is reason

that had come ashore at Nags
Head more than so years before.
The ship had been luxuriously
furnished. There were silver and
fine linen on the dining table.
The table had been set for a
meal, and all was in order. But
not a soul was aboard. The
painting, of a beautiful young
woman, hung on the cabin wall.
Inquiry Begins
DR.. Pool took the painting
with him on his return to his
'la>tation, the Eyrie, near
Elizabeth City. He knew of the
disappearance of Theodosia Burr
Alston in 1913; and he began to
wonder whether there might be
a connection between it and the
mystery ship of Nags Head.
Hoping to learn more, the
doctor wrote an account of the
picture and sent it to a New
York paper. Correspondence
with descendants of the Burrs
and Alstons followed, and in
time some of them visited the
Eyrie. They pronounced the pic
ture undoubtedly a likeness of
the lost Theodosia.
What had happened to her?
LEGENDS Recalled
There were grim legends of
land pirates at Nags Head who
lured ships ashore in the early
10Th century by means of a Ian
tern hung from the head of a
horse led along the shore, the
bobbing light indicating a ship
riding in serene waters. These
pirates, it was whispered, did
away with passengers and crew,
SO none could tell of their crime.
Ships were looted and scuttled.
Some held to a different view.
They recalled the storm that
had followed Theodosia's en-
counter with the British fleet,
and surmised that the crew of
the Patriot and their lovely
passenger had abandoned ship
when it appeared that disaster
was at hand. They had been lost,
but the Patriot had survived.
Confession Differ
There were confessions of dy-
ing seafarers that seemed to
the theory of piracy;
but these differed in detail and
thereby lost credibility. And
there the matter stands.
What became of the picture?
When DIR. Pool died in 1886,
the mysterious portrait went to
a daughter, Mrs. J. P. Overman,
of Elizabeth City. Many years
later, she sold it to the Macbeth
Art Gallery in New York City.
Eventually the gallery was brok-
en- up, and the picture was sold
TO a private collector living in
Asheville, N. C. The identity of
the collector is not known to
this writer.
Nags Head is far different to-
day from the stark and lonely
shore of 1918, and from the tiny

FOR VETERANS CLAIMS

Basic family documents such
as birth and marriage certifi-
Gates should be carefully kept
where they are readily available,
]. D. DeRamus, Manager of the
North Carolina Veterans Ad-
ministration Regional Office,
has advised veterans and their
dependents.
These documents are needed
to support claims for veterans
benefits, Mr.. DeRamus explain
ed. Included among these es-
sential records are military dis
charge papers, death certificates,
divorce DEGREES, and guardian
ship nor child custody evidence.
The basic records are needed
to support claims for disability
or death compensation and pen
sion, veterans burial benfits,
and similar claims.

ELECTION COST
BOOSTS BUDGET
FOR MACS HEAD
$3.50 Hem Added; Horace
Barnett Named to Town
Planning Body

A budget Of SIT, 921.S4 for
Nags Head for 1962-63 was a.
dopted Monady by the Board of
Town Commissioners, along with
tentative tax rate of 80 cents
per $100 property valuation.
This budget represents an in
crease of $3.50 over the figure
contemplated earlier by the
board. The increase is designed
to cover the cost of a town elec-
tion to be held next year. This
item had been overlooked earlier.
The election, in effect, will be
a preferential primary, Town
Attorney Martin Kellogg ex-
planned, since under the town
charter the Governor appoints
the board. He is directed to con-
slider those favored in the cleo
tion, but is not bound to appoint
them.
Charter Under Fire
Board members expressed dis
satisfaction with this and other
provisions in the charter, and
discussed steps to amend it in
the next session of the General
Assembly in 1868. However, no
action was taken.
A base map of Nags Head
showing existing and plated
streets has been competed, the
board was advised by Durwood
S. Curling, chief area planner
for the Division of Community
Planning, State Department of
Conservation and Development.
Lot lines will be put in this
week, he said, and the town in
effect will have two maps, one
showing the streets and the
other the lot lines, which may
be updated later as conditions
require.
The first tax payment for
1962-63 was received from the
Virginia Electric & Power Co. in
the amount of $319.03. This was
accepted, subject to possible re-
vision of the figure later.
A property owners request to
change the name of the Holly
wood subdivision to Conserving
was laid before the board. At
torney Kellogg advised that
since the property, the former
Conserving Club tract, had been
subdivided and plated, the
board had no power to change
the name, though it might be
unofficially called Conserving.
He suggested that the property
owner might take action in the
name of the area.
Horace J. Barnett, a Sound
Side resident retired from the
Coast Guard, was chosen by the
board 10 succeed P. ]. M. Bayne,
resigned, as a member of the
Planning Commission.
The board adjourned after
lengthy discussion of trailer and
signboard regulations.
The 1962-63 budget as adopted
Monday follows:
Clerks salary, $4,000; bond
premium for clerk, $50; adding
machine, $100; office supplies,
5000; telephone, $3.50; tax no
tees and abstracts, $1,000; rent,
$1,000; election expenses. $3.50;
postage, 5000; policeman's sal
ary, $4,000; building inspector,
$4,000; gasoline, oil, insurance,
etc., $4,000; radio rental, police
car, $261 "a; police supplies,
$3.50; legal work including $50
per month lawyer retainer fee,
$1,000; engineering fees, maps,
mileage certifications and other
data, $1,000; travel expense,
$500, and estimated sales tax,
$50. Total, $17,921.s4.

TO Study Trading Stamps

CHARACTERISTIC trading
stamps may be in for trouble-or

The New Jersey Assembly agreed
unanimously last month to set up a
commission to study them. One advo-
cate said he believes the customer
who doesn't want trading stamps is
prevented from getting the '1owest
price possible under free competi-
tion."
One food chain president told stock
holders trading stamps cost them sgt
million a year. This is more than
two-thirds of the chains 1861 net

will continue to handle them when
ever competition dictates.
