MYSTERIOUS CRAFT SEEN
ON RIVER 10 YEARS AGO
it Which Made its Appearance on the Pana
ris Week, Went Through the Same
Procedure Once Before.
Editor Daily Jfewe
Dear a^r:
* 1 notlcad In your paper a few days
*fo an aoeouqt of a mysterious boat.
%htch camt up the Pamlico an far
a* WaafcUBtpn. Tou stated that
the boat #es propelled by a mule,
working oft a tread-mill, which turn
ed a large yaddle wheel, and that
the pasaaflpra on the craft were an
ag?d a.amall boy.
, ?* About 'tin years ago, when my
In, Beaufort county,
1 reamubir having heard my father
, speak $ot th? same boat. He was
out hunting one morning and when
he retnrjied home he told us about,
It. B# said that the boat came
alowly up the river; that It was
driven bra mule on a tread-mill and
that there were three persons on
hoard: a man, a woman and a small
?ehlUV wil^h the/woman carried in
her artiut
Father aaid he watehed the boat
(or about an hour. It proceeded
slowly up the river until It came to
what is now called* Washington Park.
Then It headed for the shore and the
people got off. A littfiT later, the
man and the child returned, but the
woman was nowhere to be seen. The
man placed ithe baby in the cabin of
the boat, and headotf his strange
craft down stream again. That was
the last may father ww of the boat.
1 had forgotten all about the in
cident until I read the article in
your paper this week- Then It re
curred to my mind again, and I rec
jol'.ected that practically the same
thing had happeiysd ten years ago.'
I do not know the identity of the
people on board of the boat, and I
would appreciate it if you would let
me know In case you learn more
about the mysterious crart.
Very truly yours.
