Fisherman Finds
Bulletin in Bottle
Evidently the weather bureau
leaves no stone unturned in get
ting weather information to re
mote areas prior to a hurricane.
A. W. Mason, 2715 Homes Dr.,
Morehead City, was sportafishing
near Drum Inlet Sunday when
he found, washed up on the
shore, a brilliant orange block
of wood.
In one end was a cork. He
pulled the cork out and inside
found a bulletin titled "Miami
Weather Bulletin Helene for
press, radio, and tv, 9 a.m. EST,
Sept. 27, 1938."
The wooden "bottle" was 6
inches long and 2 inches wide.
A piece of cloth was firmly
stapled to the side. Mr. Mason
said that the cloth might have
been part of a parachute to
which the block of wood was at
tached.
Was the message dropped from
a plane, or thrown overboard to
be carried by waves to the outer
banks? The Weather Bureau
probably knows, but in this case,
the storm had reached and
passed the outer banks before
the message was found.
