. LE1TE8 FB88 THE SEA-S10L
Wilmington, Feb. 5.
My Dear Editor and Readers :
This morning in the quiet of ; my
"sanctum studio" I buckle on the
wi5? . 9 though and (nstantlj 1
pass down the a Cape Fear .thirty
mfleg W Smithiville; whin I inter
the historic Jjalh? of memory and
peodily return, through the record
of thirteen months, to the evening
when first X entered that town.
That was a stormy evening for the
initiation of a boomer to sea-side
'litei-C The winds were coming from
the tea ;ard driving the while-capped
waves, "like waring rows of cotton,
against th century, beaten shores of
thai loid .town the saH'spray from
the rolling waters could be felt in
the chilly air, for 'twas cold so said
the shivering passengers from the
well warmed cabin of the boat.
l A ili slipped on jthev wharf the
captain said to some crusty looking
sailors and pilots : "There goes the
msw preacher." ! "Does he ot sea
sick V asked one ; "If he does send
hist . back," i said another, or h
wont dt to preach to sailors. But
tbo new preacher went with them
often ut on the ocean and was ner
er sea-sick. - This might have had
some infiuemce in promoting the
religious succesa j which - followed
vduxing the; year.
? As I walked to the shere on the
tramway I see a deep red flag float- i
ing in the- wind from the top of a
tall flag pole. What does it mean ?
Asailor answers, AWe can't go out
to sea to-night ; the storm flag is
u p and it. means, a. terrifio .. sttrm
frera the, ocean. .The: storm has
been moving from the northward
for three days. If, from the top of
this pole, a white flag is floating to
th brqezf then rife means a storrn
frem th"e land. A storm from "the
tea is more dangerous, from the fct
that 'tis generally more severe and
tends to drive the Teasels ashore,
hile those storms from the land
drive the! vessel seaward;, thus saV
jing them from wreck on the sand
barv shoals, etc The wind , from
the sea, when blowing a moderate
gale, drive.' the vessels safely inte
their pert. The wind frem land
starthvels wet of port .on thair
Teyage ta far distant Jandi. .Thus
wi can easily'see how "it is an ill
wind that Jlowanpbody good.", Tht
wiad that raakeatho incoming sail
or curse, will sake the outgoing one
sbeut. How selfish we mortala are!
Why can't we bo patient, r 'kmowing
that a wise God is over-ruling all
not tie one r i : -,yr
Bat my ; reader may' ask". Who
puts up those storm signals, or flags?
All along the coast, at intervals f
fifty er a hundred miles, ; or at all
important harbors, the TJ. S. gov
ernment have signal .stations, under.

up the flag and sailors, in or out of

to disregard it is a great risk of life
and property.
Here again we
pause to render
thanks tohim who "doeth all things
well." As a world of progressive
humanity comes necessarily in con--tact
with the storms whicb . benefi
cially fill a niche in the natural
world, and which; might impede,'
to a ; great extent the inter-corn- j
merce of riatiom, ii wise God meas
ures out wisdom, j to man in order
that he may know how to avoid the
destruction to human life and prop
erty which might; otherwise follow
therg. The same being, who cre
ates the storm, creates man al.o and
equips him with a mind capable fco
discover the law$ of the stom and
hence find a way of escape from its
danger, j Thus we see invention
bridging the cleaam between intelli
gence in man and intelligent design
in nature. - I - ,
But again to the sea. I am at
the home ef Junius Scrogs to
spend the. night and we sit and chat
ef other -days that we both have
spent in Lenoir, the Athens of the
"Old North State," unique in beau
ty of situation and learning, until
10 o'clock. Then I am shown to a
nice bed, . white as snow and soft as
down, but I can't sleep. Why ?
The sea, roaring loudly and steadily,
keeps mef all night is a semi-con
scious state. The roaring . grows
worse as the winds increase to troub
le the -waves, and I imagine well
what all did I imagine during tht
long winter's night f : My imagina-T
turns were melancholy in the.- ex
treme. I would thimk the waves
are uttering a deep . and. moaning
farewell to some drowning seaman
who had been just broken loose from;
his hold on the "poor eld stranded!
wreck. , Again mj mind would pull
at the elastic cord of imagination
and I would find myself wandering.
What if the waves: would gather ex
traordinary force and leap out over
the town v and sweep us all away ?
Then, againj. imagination reversed
her engine - and ran with quickest
speed, along back the well paved
track of memory,! and I found my
self wishing I were again the inno
cent little bey of twenty odd years
ago and in my little trunnel bed
when, in the sleepless hours of night,
I could call out for p or mi and
their replying voice would give me
comfort. This, was a bright star I
saw that night in! the cloudless sky
of memory, and it led me to sweet
reflection on the j'bright and morn
ing 'star" that arises in the soul.
Then turned I my " eye to the win
dow, through which was brightly
shining another morning star,' (the
same old familiar :; star I ised to see
when I went to feed the cows before
day), which prophesied "the morn
ing cemeth" arid lo ! 'twas aoen
bright morning, ,aiid, eager to make
my acquaintance with the old ocean
Of which' I had heard so much, I
hurriedly went'down to the beach. .
' Over the curving shape of the sea.
the sun is rising just oina level with
yeur eyes. How; dazzling his 4isc
o'er . the glistening : water. ' All
night long the winds have been com
batting the. waters until now, at sun
rise, , the tremehduous waves are
dashing, splashing, . leaping, rolling
and falling, one upon ' another, in
terrific furythey seemed vexed and
maddened, as they rage to and fro,
"foaming nut their own shame."
We are facing Nature's most awe
inspiring pictures-standing on the
snds and shells,', we look away to
the orient skies,! where the sun is
penciling tne back grounds of the
great picture with a delicate pen of
light dipped into the liquid gold of
the morning. Tne soul is entranc
ed, the eyes desire to linger on the
scenes-nature's i masterpeice. Be

Its cheerful counteanncej enlivens
me, but the cloud comes after the
sunshine, and my eyes fall on the
sad news that three good old men of
Cald wel I h a ve passed to the i r re
ward, ' 'absent from the ; jbbdy - yet
present with the Lord."
Of the three I knew Carroll Moore
best. NobJe, generous man was he.
I learned to love him when a boy, as
he often spent a night at father
when en his way to the commission

Lr. White, cf Kentacky, is not Afraid of
tks Serseant-at-Arms but a Silver Easfs"
; . .Brings Him to Taw. . ' V ; : ? . ,
Blt.8an,k0onglBeiiort, Feb. g.
The mace, the official sign of au
thprity of the sergeant-at-arms .of
the House, which called into use
today to require Mr. White, of Ken
tucky, to take his seat, has : been
used very seldom in the history of
the House. It is the first time for
five years that it has been so used
Ordinarily there is Irio necessity for
it, and it is doubted by many wheth
er there-' was any real - necessity for
its use today, as Mr. White has been
seated thousands, of times without
it. . - Thef mace is kept at the right
of the Speaker at all times when the
Speaker is in the chair. When the
House goes into the committee of
the whole, and the Speaker leaves
the chair, the mace is taken out , of
the House, but it always is replaced
when the Speaker or acting Speaker
takes the gavel. The mace consists
of a silver eagle about the size of ;a
pigeon, fixed on a staff about three
feet in height. It is understood that
the subjecj; will be renewed tomor
row by Mr: White, who will rise to
a personal explanation. Mr. White
will claim that a .cat outrage has
been done him. '
Mr." White Tose to a -question of
privilege but his first sentence, con
vinced the Speaker pro tern. (Mr.
Blackburn) that such a question was
not presented," arid he requested the
gentleman to resume his seat, . but
Mr. White continued with - his. re
marks. , The Speaker , directed the
sergeant-at-arms to seat the gentle
man, and Depnty Sergeant Hill
Pi-oceeded to perforra;his duiy but
without carrying his
einblem of
o33ce. . ' .- '
1 Mr. White declined to
Tecognize
his authority, and Mr. Hill rushed
for his mace and ; proceeded toward
Mr. Whiie. who took his seat, but s
who in a moment was again on his
feet to a matter of personal pri i
lege "When I was occupying my
place on" this flor," he said, "the
srgeani;-at-a.ms came to me, a citi
zen, without the 1 semblance of au
thority, and attempted to seat me."
The Speaker pro tem.-The sergeant-at-arms
went under the direc
tion of the chair, the Chsir having
repeatedly ruled that the gentleman
was not in order arid requested him'
to take bis seat, which , he persist
ently refused to do. Applause on
the democratic side.l ;
' "I desire to debate the question,'.'
said Mr. White, 'ij s ; ;
Mr. Hammond made the point of
order, which was sustained fby ,the
Chair, that, no appeal having been
taken, debate was not .in order.

I I. was much' interested the other
day by a bill introduced by Mr. Mc
Millan of Robeson, providing for
separate schools for the, Croatan. In
dians in Robeson county.uj I knew
there were mahy people of Indian:
origin in that county, but supposed
they were of the same nature as the
Seminoles 1 ef ' Florida,," wandering
vagabonds, outlaws, " without name
or tribe. . , How then was the name
Croaton, a tribe of the north-east"
Coast Of North Catolina, applicable
to them ? So I went to : Mr. Mc
Millan for information. f IIe is a
man of intelligence and information,
and he gives; me a history which is
riot only interesting, but of startling
historical importance! t :
' Those familiar with the' history, of
the early settlement of North Caro
lina t will recall the history, of, the
lost polony of t John. -White. i .This
vman!Jwiaa sent out by ; -Sir Walter
Raleisrh. in 1587J to found a colony.
une nunarea ana jseventy men, : wo-.
3 men and phildren were . left on Roanr
6ke i Islands White (the grandfather
of ' Virginia Dare,; theT first ''white
child f English bloed Iborn' m
America) remained buva ie.wweelcs ,
with mt polpny, . returning to. f ling
land, for supplies and assistance; : He
Xeriuined abroad three Tyars, "for
getting liia colony in r his interest in
th'defense Of inglaSidiainsf the
greaf ' Spanish raadi V When he
, dijVntnxn, the colony : had disajK
pearid, ieAtipg no" traco except the
word J'CroatanMAcnt into thV bark
f at reeo authentio' record .of
k 'tti colony has ever been had. It
disappeared from : history . as if . it
never had. been. . ; r ; --; -' --
Now; Mr. McMillan says , that1
these Croatan Indians of Robeson
county claim to ' be the descendants
of the white colony, by intermar
riage, with the whites. They say
that , ,theirtraditions say that jthe
people we call, the . Croatan Indians
(though they1 do not recognize that !
name as that of 'a tribe, ' bnt only a
village, arid that they were Tuscar
oras), ; wero friendly to the whites ;
and finding them destitute and des
pairing of ever receiving aid froin
England pursuaded ; them to leave
the Island,' and go ' the iriain land.
They interinarried with the whiles,
learned the English language, and
abandoned their own tongae. They
gradually drifted away from their
original seats, and at length settled
in Robeson, about the centre of the
county. The first deed extant for
that county was issued in 1732 to
Henry.Berry and James Lowry,' pro
genitors of the famous Henry Berry
Lowry. - ,' ; .-. . V '
Mr. Mc.Millan . says they, preserve
the English language as it was spo
ken in the days of Chaucer ; using
many' words obsolete, or only spoken
in the " rnral districts of. England,
their pronunciation being also anti
quated and peculiar. : They have
only two sounds for the lelter "&,"
a flat one and a very broad one, , as
for instance : -"fayther"for father,'
"mon" for man ; or the same sound
we give in ;"walk," 'ftalk, Ac. r.
He says hey claim only the mixed
blood of the white and Indians and .
are indignant that. they, are charged
with having negro blood in their
veins, and feefyery sensibly the hu
miliation of being classed as an infe
rior and degraded people, when they
have the j proud . consciousnass of
believing through their traditions of
being the purav and .unadulterated
descendants of a lost ; colony of full
blooded Eaglish people, and a noble
race of aboriginals. ; .Certainly, if
their traditions are true, , they have
been subjected to .cruel usage,, and
may reasonably rebel upon .-the in
justice which has classed them with
the vagabond creation . of all bloods
and races. J Henry Berry Lowry was
one of them ; and so were many I
knew, whom in my ignorance I
might scorn for their taint of negro
blood. -. ;. - -..i'v.-.- ! . .-
It may be added that these Croa
tans never speak, or rather do not
recognize the name North! Carolina.
It is all Virginia to them, as it was
in 1587.' (They were .staunch loyal
ists during the revolutionary - war,
owing' to their attachment to the
home of theic white ancestry. ''.
Mr. McMillan informs m that he
is preparing an article , on this sub
ject, which he has boon investigat
ing ; diligently for some years, ' j for
the "North American Review." j ;
. He says the. bill for separate
Bchools is due to the fact-that their,
numbers (about 2,000) , andH.their
sense of indignity at being n classed
as negroes and inferiors, justifies
such provision..' . s 1 u . s
