He said he and his companion
"went outside" Tuesday morning
at about 5 o'clock. At about 8
o'clock they started to return but
saw passage over the bar would
be dangerous. Two more attempts
were made and it was then decided
to anchor and stay outside
until the seas calmed. They donned
life preservers and waited.
Tuesday night the waves increased
in size. Mr. Woolvin did not
run his motor but saved the 18
gallons of gasoline aboard for
use if the anchor line broke, forcing
him to fight the sea.
The Bobby is not equipped
with radio. Mr. Woolvin said he
believed persons on the beach
thought his running lights were
distress signals. At times the
bottom of the boat was visible
as the seas tossed it up.
Rough Weather
The aviator said he has beer
"going outside" for 18 years anc
the weather was the roughest he
had ever experienced. Fishermer
at Wrightsville told him it was
the first time a boat of that size
has remained outside in rough
weather throughout the night
Waves on the bar, he stated, were
as high as two-story houses al
times. The depth of the watei
in which the boat, which draw!
three feet, was anchored was
about 80 feet.

LAKE WACCAMAW IS
NOT CLOSED UP NOW
Lake Waccamaw, the Columbus
county resort, is not
now closed on account of infantile
paralysis, and has not
been.
Two weeks ago the County
Board of Health recommended
that the city aldermen of the
town of Lake Waccamaw take
steps to prevent gatherings of
any kind at the Lake on the
Fourth and Sixth of July.
However, the aldermen emphatically
stated that the Lake
would not be closed, inasmuch
as they did not deem the epidemic
serious enough to justify
calling off the recommendations.
The resort town now is reaching
the height of its summer
season, and is drawing
tourists from all sections.
150 Veterans On
