B. Keziah and tell him that he was always tickled when he sighted Southport and knew that here was dry land and friends. This made twice that Captain Main had real reason to be glad when he ran into Southport. Two years ago he was coming up the coast on the outside on the Quartermore; a small r&cing ketch. After leaving Charleston they ran into a terrible gale that carried them far off their course. They finally had to anchor and ride out the storm, soaking wet, freezing and with the Quartermore in danger of being swamped by the mountainious waves.- The mate on that trip was Micky Muckle and the two young racing mariners spent a whole week at Southport, thawing out.

Carl Goerch M? Track Dowi Carl Goerch and Les Forgrave came to town the other day. Carl not only filled more than six pages in his magazine about the visit, he used all of his customary half hour at 6:30 o'clock the following Sunday night to broadcast about it. His introduction of W. B. Keziah to his public was a piece of eloquence, and is being reproduced here: "We arrived at Whittlers Bench. Two elderly gentlemen were sitting there, busily engaged in discussing the affairs 1 of the nation and those of their neighbors. "Where'l. we asked one of them, "is Keziah?" "I saw him about ten minutes ago", was the answer. "We went into the bank where we found a most attractive young lady waiting on the customers. "Where," we asked again, "is Keziah"? "I saw him five minutes ago," she replied. I ? E STj A Goo 4-PAGES TODAY g iptain Tells y Time At Sea The Barscot is a 38-foot ketch with her decks clearing the water less than two feet. She is on her way to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Captain Main will race her to Cuba ' and Nassau this winter. His mate on this trip is Chris Blumensal and they have been having almost as much adventure as that which befell the Quartermore. Off Norfolk they ran into a blizzard, snow and mountanious waves. Every few minutes the waves would completely engulf the stern deck and fill the cockpit. The bilge pump got drowned out and following each of the big waves Main and his mate would have to stand knee deep in water in the cockpit and bail out with the frying pan. dish pan and whatever else came handy. From Southport they followed the waterway to Charleston. On arriving there they plan to go to sea again and make the rest of the trip outside, regardless of the weather. . rom All Over 3 Arrive Here ' Spring Vegetables Grow At Bald Head So far as Is known, the Southport section is the only area, in North Carolina still producing green garden peas for the market. The peas are grown in the open and are coining from Bald Head island. They also have an abundance of spring onions, radishes, lettuce and tomatoes. Some string beans should be available in another week or two. Bald Head and the immediate Southport area is the only section of North Carolina that had no snow during the nation-wide cold spell of 1939-40. P.-T. A.
