Geodetic Survey Officers Find Big Change in Shoals Shift of Sand on Ocean Botto m Will Necessitate Complete Be yisal of Charts of Frying Pan Shoals, Officers of Gov ernment Survey Steamer Lydonia Declare Drastic changes and massive move- , ments of sand in the ocean’s bed on the southwest edge of Frying Pan Shoals at the mouth of* the Cape Fear river, were reported last night by officers of the United States geodetic survey steamer Lydonia, here on a. bi-monthly visit to its summer port. A complete revisal of maps of the coast line and coast bed of the Cape Fear river, and of the Atlantic Ocean s bed for fourten miles along Frying Pan Shoals was foreoast by the Lydonia’s officers last night. The maps, in use since the middle of the eighteenth cen tury, are to be completely altered, due to changes wrought by sand spits af fected by ocean currents over a period of nearly seventy-five years. _ _ Drastic changes in the ocean's bed were foun4 by the Lydonia’s surveyors during the last two weeks trip, accord ing to the boat’s officers last night. Preliminary surveys conducted during the last trip have revealed the changes. Results of investigations off the southwest edge of the coast have brought to light heavy shifts of ocean bottom sand, according to the officers. Whether or not the changes that have been found are menacing steamer traf fic near the mouth of the Catie Pear river or whether or not the lightship, about eighteen miles out, was located in a spot safe for steamer passage near the shoals, was not announced. The boat's offioials believe that no serious shifts have taken place. The shifts, while heavy, are not expected to inter fere with the usual traffic. , . Detailed reports will not be avail able, it was Eaid, until more extensive investigation of the ocean’s bottom be tween the mouth of the Cape Fear river, where the Frying Pan Shoal6 be gin, and the lightship, eighteen miles out in the Atlantic at anchor, can be undertaken. Further investigation of the sand shifts is to be made throughout the summer. The Lydonia left early this ifiorning for the southwest edge of the Frying Pan to deive deeper into the changes that have been made since the old maps, now being revised, were first drawn up back in 1850.
