He recalls vividly the time when with others he watched from the old bel-. fry the large frigates under full nail, going up the coast to bombard and capture Hatteras in the early part of the Clvfl War. Few now remain connected with these and subsequent reminiscences. This little church was endeared to this isolatod settlement to a greater extent than more Imposing ones in pome populous communities. and while the calamity was a sad one the congregation set to work, under highly discouraging conditions to erect a new church.

Greek troops are In complete control Of?M)e situation here. Anti-ally mobs have been dis posed of for the present and the pos sibility of a serious clash between the citizens and the French marines appears to have been averted.
