Covering the Waterfront
By Aycock Brown 1
Morehead City, Sept. 28. Al
Dewey is mai.af.nc wvector of
Morehcad's magnificent Jefferson
Hotel. The Jefferson is located
on Arendell Street across the way
from Morehead City Yacht Basin
and just west of Port Terminal
and the new Madix and felt plant.
It is on the spot where one of
North Carolina's, most famous hos
telries once stood the old Atlan
tic. Therefore, since Al is manager
of a hotel which occupies the site
where the Atlantic stood before it
was destroyed by fire in the mid
Thirties, it is only natural that one
of his friends up in New York
would send him a copy of the Tar-
boro Southerner, dated Thursday,
July 19, 1B83. It is only natural
that a person having such an old
newspaper would send it down to
Dewey in view of the fact that one
of the front page stories had to do
with an incidont occuring at the
old Atlantic 65 years ago.
I don't even know whether the
old Tarboro Southerner is still be
ing published. Last time I was ac
quainted with the sheet was before
ihc w.tr when Aubrey Shackol
was publishing The Southerner.
The paper died then at a ripe old
age. It was certainly in the throes
f death hut still kicking, when
1 used to occasionally see the
bl 'iikets Shackol wps publishing.
In the year of 1883, however,
The Southerner was one of the
best known newspapers published
east of Raleigh. Beneath its fancy
masthead and just above the date
line was this slogan: "He Sure
You Are Right, Then Go Ahead
1. Crockett." After seeing nnJ
reading a front page story in that
July 1!) issue. I question whether
The Southerner's editor of that
day practiced what D. Crockett
preached. Here is Ihc story:
"A Dead Beat's lievcnge Thrill
ing and Awful Affair at Morehead
City-Dr. Rlacknall Lost- Carried
off by liallooons Failure of Mr.
V01 lues' Shot." That was the cap
tion, and subhead, and here's the
story:
News of a harrowing experience
Which occurred at Morehead City
Friday evening and by which the
Friday evening and by which the
whole town ;:s thrown into a
st to of consternation and a
happy household was plunged
into the deepest dephts of
despair, reached this city (Tar
boro) yesterday. Dr. George
Blacknall is no more. At least
he is not of the earth earthly, and
only the ruler of the winds and
the heavens know of his where
abouts. Dr. Blacknall met his fate
in a singular manner and through
thci diabolical plotting of Capt.
Gcrtrgc, Any lor of Richmond, Va.,
whi has been staying at the hotel
for the Past two months and owed
Dr. Blacknall a board bill of $120.
The watchfulness of Dr. Black-
cle, Rev. J. B. Martin, also served
as pastor of Ann Street Methodist
church in the 1850's.
Mr. Martin was born in Beaufort
and spent his life in the mercan
tile business here, from which he
retired in 1943.
Mr. Martin was first married to
Miss Fannie Felton. Seven chil
dren survive from this union: Mrs.
W. R. Chisholm, Wilmington; Mrs.
K. P. B. Bonner, Morehead City;
Don C. Martin, Mount Olive; D. L.
Martin, Greenville, Pa.; and Mrs.
Robert Tillett, Clsude, and E. Dor
sey Martin, Jr., all of Beaufort.
Mrs. Zeno Wootcn of New Bern
survives from a second marriage.
In 1925 Mr. Martin was married
to Miss Julia Manney Rumley, who
with his children, was with him in
his last hours. A sister, Mrs. War
ren Whitehurst, of Wilson, was al
so with him. Other survivors in
clude six grand children, five
great grandchildren, a number of
nieces and a nephew.

"THE
nail several times foiled Zaylor in
his attempts to jump the board
bill, and al last, Zaylor. exaspera
ted at his failure to give the Dr.
the slip determined to do away
with him through a deep laid dia
bolical plot.
On the afternoon in question, a
strolling Italian made his appear
ance at the Atlantic Hotel, with
a large bunch of red toy ballons
Dr. Blacknall and his enemy were
sitting on the hotel porch alone,
when Copt. Zaylor offered to bet
the Dr. that the bunch of balloons
could lift him (Dr. Blacknall) off
the ground. Dr. Blacknall took the
wager and the designing fiend tied
the strings that held the balloons
around the Dr.'s waist and gave
him a slight toss. His design suc
ceeded. The doctor rose slowly at first
until about 50 yards from the
ground when his watch dropped
from his pocket, and relieved of
this ballast he shot upward with
fearful rapidity. The whole popu
lace turned out in affright as Dr.
Blacknall went yelling through the
air, and the wildest excitement
prevailed, though the people were
utterly powerless to do anything
save stand still and look on as
the unfortunate hotel proprietor
was carried further and further
away. The balloons carried him
in an easterly direction, out across
old ocean, and at the time he pass
sod over Shackleford Hanks, it was
estimated that he was a mile in
the air.
A par'y of boatmen were a short
distance from the coast and one of
their number a Mr. Charlie Vor
hoes. who had a Winchester re
peating rifle with him, conceived
the idea of firing al the balloons
and breaking enough of them to
lessen their buoyancy so they would
cend with their precious freight.
1 lie iired eight shots but the bal
loons continued going higher and
higher, until finally they were al
together out of reach. After the
fiiih shot, a small object was seen
floating down, and on being picked
up from the water, it proved to
he Dr. Blacknall 's favorite gray
lock that was wont to adorn his
pate, and indicated how closely
Mr. Vorchees' shot had come to
letting the gas out of the Doctor's
head instead of one of the bal
loons. Mr. Vorhees placed the
lock in his bosom and with tears
in his eyes, ordered the men to
row for shore.
In the meantime the balloons
had gone almost out of sight with
their burden, and appeared to be
a mere speck in the sky. All eyes
were strained at it, until it sud
denly disappeared from sight. The
grief of the people was insignifi
cent in comparison to that dig
played by the Italian over thp loss
of his balloons. He raved and
swore and ripped around nt a' ter
rible rate and it required a com
biniyl force of 10 men to subdue
and lock him up.
Zaylor, the author of this mis
chief, took advantage of the excile
nent incident to the occasion, and
robbed the hotel safe of $15,000
