Abandoned Tower On

Fort Caswell appears to have j
a genuinely mysterious lighthouse.
At any rate the Southport
Civic Club has not been able to
find out anything definitely covering
the structure, which closely
resembles a Dutch windmill tower
in its construction work.
The lighthouse or tower stands
between the Oak Island Coast
Guard station and the buildings
of the fort, being actually only
three hundred yards from Battery
Bagley. The first 15 feet are
of brick. On the brick is a 15
foot wooden framework and on
top of this is the lighthouse room,
a structure upon which the builders
took many turns at the ar- j
tistic. The corners have scroll I
work that must have taxed the
creative abilities of the early
builders.

that when the dog has located

will often back up and come
for the hunters to show them
where the birds are. One of
the young officers went out
that afternoon with Bingo on

11 One case of whooping coug
Ion Bald Head Island was reporl

The island patient is the chil
of Lighthouse Keeper Wesle

its Happened
i Was Visitor Hen
by visitors was one gem propounded
by a member of the
iocal school faculty. "Does
the submarine sight a ship,
then ram into the side of it,"
she asked? The question earned
her a visit to the torpedo
compartment, closed to practically
all other visitors.
The line of visitors below
decks might have moved
more rapidly had it not been
for the straight-up ladders.
The ladies wouldn't climb up
while any men were standing
around; and the men were
much too polite to go first.
The technical interpretation
of "shake-down cruise"
is a trial trip during which
all members of the crew
have a chance to put into
practice all the things in
which they have been schooled
for weeks. Another object
of this type of cruise is to
make friendly visits similar
to the one here in order that
civilians may become more
familiar with the activities
of the navy.

[ Unless the general tone of his

r The communication received by
n the club from Mr. Waynick was
. a long one and dealt with general
matters in connection with the
j~ roads. He did not deny that
' Brunswick may have received an
l" unsatisfactory deal from the
road building organization of the *
1 state. But, he expressed the hope
y and belief that better plans could
n be worked out from now on,
coupling this assertion with an
