Why Has Two Fires
Occured At Camp
Glenn During May?
CAPT. WILLIAMS IS
NATIVE WALES
Near His Home Is A
Village With Very
Lengthy Name
The home town address of Capt.
Evan Williams, master of the M. S.
Dolius at the present time is Rock
Ferry, Cheshire, England. But he is
a native of Wales and originally liv
ed in Aberdaron. Aberdaron is locat
ed one and one half miles from a
village with the world's longest
name.
On the railroad station there the
name is joined together letter by
letter from the first to the fifty fifth,
but the Welsh way of writing it is
easier. The name of the village is
"Llan Fair Pwll Gwyn Gyll Ger
Chwyrn Dro Bwll Llan Dy Silog Ogo
Goch." Translated it means some
thing like this St. Mary's Church by
The Whirlpool of The Pond Near
Church House St. Silog At Red Cave.
The foregoing is not correct in de
tail but it gives the reader an idea of
what a small town country newspa
per edtior is trying to say, trusting
his memory following a pleasant chat
and a spot of tea with the Dolius'
master Wednesday afternoon.
Capt. Williams is an interesting
person. He has been going to sea for
over 30 years, many of which were
spent on sailing vessels. In his crew
he has 52 persons. Seventeen of the
52 are Chinese signed up in Hong
Kong. These Orientals are watched
carefully when in American ports by
the police, to prevent them from
from jumping ship. That is why you
will note local police on duty at the
terminal in Morehead City while the
Dolius is in port.

GULF STREAM fishoimen who go
to Ocracoke Island this season may
charter the world cruise auxiliary
schooner Avocet of Santa Monica,
according to information phoned
this columnist by David Gaskill. The
Avocet is a very seaworthy craft,
two masts, 60 feet long and of the
Chesapeake Bugeye type. An early
Spring storm off the Virginia Capes
is responsible for the vessel being
there and available for Gulf Stream
fishing parties at the present time.
THE AVOCET w'th her master
Capt. J. L. Dick( Mrs. Dick and Pete
Stein of Santa Monica, Calif., sailed
from New York several weeks ago on
a eruise around the world. Off the
Virginia Capes she ran into a storm
and sought shelter in the protected
waters of Pamlico Sound via Oregon
Inlet. Inside the sound she headed
south to Ocracoke Inlet and because
of her draught, she grounded on How
ard's Reef. The vessel then put into
Ocracoke harbor where minor re
pairs were made. In the meantime
the owner and his crew fell in love
with the island. They liked it so well
thev decided to stay on through the
Gulf Stream fishing season. At that
time they will continue their circum
navigation. David Gaskill who has
for years seen a future for sports
fishing in the Gulf Stream off Ocra
coke and Cape Hatteras will act as a
sort of booking agent for the Avocet
during the season.
MR.. AND MRS. STEPHEN L.
Vanderveer of New York City who
have just returned from Ocracoke
are more than pleased with the fish
ing off the Central Carolina coast
They were pleased too, with the fish
ing with Capt. Charlie Carrow of the
party boat Pilot, which took them to
nearby bay waters for small game
fishing before they went Ocracoke
ward. Down on the island they
made a sort of record. Most of the
anglers there were cursing north
nRttr and fishinc in thes urf. The
Vandeveers do not like surf fishing
and they informed the guides around
the Pamlico Inn of that fact. So
aboard the party boat Blanch with
Capt. Stacy Howerd they headed for
.Drum Shoals. They had been told

Some Think A Firebug
Might Be Starting
The Blazes
AMMUNITION HOUSE
BURNED ON MONDAY
With two fires at Camp Glenn
since early May, both of which did
considerable damage, many people
are beginning to wonder if there is
a firebug at large who might be set
ting the blazes. If such is the case
many would like to know if said alleg
ed firebug knew that he was fooling
with dangerous stuff Monday, when
and if ho started the blaze that de
molished the ammunition house,
bringing about a number of explo
sions of munitions stored there and
threatening other nearby buildings of
the camp. Had it not been for the
efficient work of Chief Jimmie Willis
and his Morehead City Fire depart
ment it is likely that the entire camp
would have been destroyed.
The Morehead City fire depart
ment by tunning hose to Bogus
Sound, were able to put out the
blaze as it started on two adjoining
buildings, a latrine and a storage
warehouse. But in the main blaze
there were numerous explosions
from artillery and rifle shells stored
in the building. Fighting the fire in
the early stages was a dangerous bus

National Guard properties there as

AUBREY E. SHACKELL
TARBORO, May 19 Aubrey E.
Shackell, local newspaper editor, an
nounced today he had received a
threatening letter signed "The
Squeezer," the cognomen bestowed
upon a tall, white-robed prowler re
ported to have attacked or frighten
ed several residents of this communi
ty recently.
Simultaneously, two police officers
said they had chased a ghostly figure
through a graveyard early today
after being called to a negro quarter
but were unable to come up with it.
They had been summoned, hey said
when citizens reported that the hood
ed figure attempted to enter a negro
house.
Shackell, editor of the Southerner,
which first gave a public account of
the alleged prowling activities said he
received through the mail a type
written note, postmarked here late
yesterday.
Aubrey Shackell has not only been
threatened by "The Squeezer but he
or some . newspaper correspondent
has been giving excellent coverage of
"Squeezer" activities in Tarboro to
the state press. Shackell is well
known in Carteret county. Last sum
mer he was managing director of At
lantic Beach for a very successful
season.
Limestone and superphosphate are

World's Most
Unusual Motor
On M. S. Dolius
The most unusual ship's motor in
the world furnishes power for pro
pelling the British M. S. Dolius now
taking on scrap metal at Morehead
City Port Terminal. "Never before
had such a motor been built and nev
er again will a similar one be con
structed," said Chief Engineer J. L.
Tuohy of Liverpool and the Dolius.
It was built as an expiriment, but
proved so costly and compulicated in
structure that no similar motor has
since been constructed.
The unusual feature of the motor
is that it uses waste gasses from the
exhaust in generating more power.
By so doing the fuel consumption
is approximately two and a half tons
less per day than a ship's motor of
similar horsepower. Reports of the
British Institution of Mechanical En
gineers and Institution of Naval Ar
chitects describes the Twin-screw
power unit of M. S. Dolius as follows
"Propelled by Scott-Still, four cyl
inder, two stroke cycle, single act
ing ail-engines, fuel being injected
mechanically; with steam generated
from waste heat, single acting on the
undersides of the combustion pis
tons." The motor was made by Scotts of
"Gwenock on the Clyde" in Scot
land in 1923. Eight Engineers, one
electrician and 12 oilers, the latter
Chinese form the engine room crew
1 of the Dolius.

Two Foreign Ships
At Morehead City
Two foreign freighters are now
lifting scrap metal cargoes in More
head City. The Norwegian S. S
Risanger, under command of Capt
Ole Belt arrived last Thursday morn
ing and it is likely she will take on a
full cargo of approximately 7,800
tons before clearing for the Far East,
port terminal officials stated. Early
Tuesday morning of this week arriv
ed the British Motorship Dolius un
der the command of Capt. Evan
Williams of Welsh, Wales. The Do
lius, a twin-screw vessel 425 feet
long is the longest vessel yet to enter
the two million dollar ocean port de
velopment. She arriv.ed with 3,000
tons of scrap metal taken on in New

Wilbur Had Cigarettes
And That Is Real News
This past week-end Wilbur Willis
actually had a pack of cigarettes,
and that made new3 because Wilbur
seldom has cigarettes. He is not ad
verse to smoking yours however if
you have a pack with you. The brand
that Wilbur was smoking was Cam
els. The reason he was smoking Cam
els was because they are the' only
cigarettes advertised to any extent
in The Beaufort News, which Wilbur
reads each week. Wilbur who is man
ager of Britton's Young Man's Shop
here knows we are running this little
publicity gag about him but any
reader who knows Wilbur like we
cigarette smokers know him can see
some real news in the fact that he
actually had a pack last week-end.
Coming To Atlantic

Jimmie Livingston
Of several musical outfits featured
in Atlantic Beach Casino during the
summer of 1936, none were more
popular than Jimmie Livingston and
his orchestra. It will be pleasing
news to dancers and lovers of concert
music to know that for the season of
1937 , Bob Connell, managing direc
tor of the famous Carteret resort
has ene-atred Jimmie Livinirston for
the entire season. Starting June 1
he and his orchestra will maKe the
music for the dances each night (ex
cept Sunday) in Atlantic Beach Ca
sino. Each afternoon, starting June
1, he and his orchestra will present
afternoon concerts on the Casino ve
randa adjacent to the boardwalk. The
concerts are rjre3ented at no cost to

Barden's First Bill
In Congress Was
For Project
TO COST$50,000
When Completed Will Be
All Weather Route To
And From Sea For
Boatmen
After seeking approval for
four years Congressman Gra
ham A. Barden saw his "baby"
bill to Congress pass this week
and the boatmen of Carteret
county and navigation interests
generally are assured that the
much needed deep inlet bet
ween Back Bay in Core Sound
and Cape Lookout Bight will
became a reality. The project
which calls for an expenditure
of $50,000 for an 8-foot chan
nel between the sound and sea
was approved by U. S. Army
Engineers and the Secretary of
War on Monday and included
in the Rivers and Harbor Bill
on Tuesday.
Whether it will be included in this
year's River and Harbor bill was not
announced, but it is likely to be, be
cause after years of efforts on the
part of Congressman Barden and
leading citizens of Carteret county,
the U. S. Army Engineers have been
convinced of the importance of the
project. It will mean when com
pleted that no more fishing boats or
yachts caught off shore during
storms will have to seek anchoraga
in isolated Cape Lookout Bight. It
will mean that hundreds of boat
men of the Core Sound fishing com
munities will save hours by taking:
this short cut to the sea instead of
going by way of Beaufort Inlet which
during average prevailing winds is un
safe for smaller craft.
