PROTECTING OTHERS
Southport citizens know that !
C. A. Ruark has his right
arm in a sling as a result of !
an accident of which he was
a victim about ten days ago.
Few of them know that he re- j
celved his injury while saving
the lives of three of his fellow |
workers.
Mr. Rourk and three other |
men were at work on the government
boat, The North East,
located about 63 miles up the
Cape Fear. They were unloading
piling. One piece of this
heavy, water-soaked timber
slipped from the boom and
was falling on top of three
men in a small boat below
when Rourk stuck out his arm
and managed to shove the !
piece of piling so that It fell |
clear of the three men.
They escaped Injury, but the
large bone in his arm was
broken and h*s wrist badly
dislocated. And if there is any
doubt concerning Mr. Rourk's
grit, it might be mentioned I
that he pulled the dislocated j
joints of his wrist back in |
place himself and doctors who |
made an X-ray of his arm J
declared that the wrist and j
the fracture were both perfectly
fitted.

quick work on the part of
members of the crew of the

blaze from endangering other
structures along the waterfront.
Members of the Southport
volunteer fire department answered
the alarm, but were
helpless when they discovered
that the fire hose was
not long enough to reach the
end of the dock, sphere the
blaze was burning. A strong
southwest wind was blowing
and there was danger that
the fire would spread along
the waterfront and into the
residential section.
Meantime, the Naugatuck
got into action and moved in
close to the burning dock.
The fire rignung equipment
of the sturdy little coast
guard cutter was turned on
the blazing timbers and the
fire was soon under complete
control. The property damage
was negligible.
