Chief Boaswain't Mate Melfoni
Kldred, 54, a familiar figure in
Carteret fishing circles for years,
was drowned on Nov. 11 when his
patrol boat sank in Shinnecock
inlet, Long Island, N. Y,
Eldred joined the Coastguard
three years ago. His home was at
Gordon Place, Freeport, L. I. He
is survived by his wife and son,
Captain Raymond K. Eldred, a
brother Ben Eldred afsister Mrs.
Edith Winks all of Long Island.
With him in the 25 foot boat
when it sank was Coast Guardsman
William Wyckoff who was saved
by Lt. Comm. Roy carter, an un
cle-in law of Charles Mades of
Beaufort. Mades a BM 1-c is
also stationed at the Shinnecock
Coast Guard Base, and is a broth
er of' Earl Mades of The Beaufort
Kews. Another eastern North Car
olina boy stationed at Shinnecock
is Callie Fulcher of Bndgeton.
The drowning took place on hea
vy seas after his 25 foot motor
boat in which he was patrolling
with Wyckoff, was swamped and
sank. Although provided with a
life jacket Captain Eldred drown
ed before coast guardsmen under
Lt. Comm. Carter reached the
scene.
j Wyckoff was rescued, having
managed to keep swimming until
aid arrived, although nearly ex
hausted at that time.
The tragic death of Eldred stun
ned his host of friends along the
coast from Montauk to Florida.
Ironically, Eldred had made a
name for himself the past years for
having rescued more fishermen
and boatmen from craft stricken
off the coast.
In 1933, Eldred, who skippered
the "Juliana," rescued six from
(he Jones inlet after their craft
had been broken apart by a wave.
SI Last year, he rescued nine per-
ons in Suffolk waters.
fHe had established a wide re
futation as a skilled navigator ana
iwas a favored skipper among lo-
teal fishermen because of his know
ledge of the ways of tides. He had
ftaken cut many famous personali
ties, Irvin Berlin being one of his
"steady" customers.
In the winter, he went to Flor
da and there rivalled the local
fdtippers in popularity, his boat
Wind services being constantly in
demand.
Three years ago he joined the
coast guard reserve and turned
us boat over to the coast guard
or patrol duty. Recently he sign-
d over into the regular coast
Ituard.

Carteret County was third high
est among the 100 North Carolina
counties in tuberculosis deaths
last year, L. L. Bing Miller, assist
ant executive secretary of the
North Carolina Tuberculosis As
sociation revealed last night in an
appeal for support of the Tuber
culosis Seal Drive before the Beau
fort Rotary Club in weekly dinner
session at the Inlet Inn.
Pasquotank leads all counties
with Wilson next. Contrary to vi
tal statistics for other counties,
more white than negroes died of
tuberculosis in Carteret. Of the
fourteen deaths last year, eight
werew hites.
In the nation, Mr. Miller said,
57,00 died of the disease, which
he labeled as the No. 1 enemy,
with 1459 of the deaths in North
Carolina.
Tuberculosis is not inheritable
Mr. Miller said but balanced his
explosions of that old wife's tale
by stressing the sordid fact that
the tuberculosis in its early stages
is rarely recognized except by a
doctor who specializes in its diag
nosis, prevention and cure.
The incidence of susceptibility
to tuberculosis rises alarmingly of
course, Mr. Miller added, in fami
lies where the disease exists.
"You can have tuberculosis
without any having symptoms,"
he said," and therein lies the dis
ease's greatest menace."
Mr. Miller pled for support of
the Seal Drive explaining that sup
port of the drive is support of the
movement to provide more hospit
al beds for tubercular patients.
Guests of Rotary to hear Mr.
Miller were: Mrs. Martha Loftin,
County Chairman of the Seal
Drive, and H. P. Scripture of
Morehead, a member of the com
mittee. Rotary will entertain their la
dies at next Tuesday evening's
meetings.
