Ghost Stories Persist About Beautiful Theodisia Burr (Continued From Page One I York, but too late to warm the heart of her father, to whom she doubtless was taking it. But there are other angles to the tale. A meal was in place on the boat when it was found, leading to the belief that it had been captured by pirates who had forced the crew and passenger to walk the plank. Far fetched, even McLaurin might have told you? Years after the boat had washed ashore, two criminals before being executed, confessed that they had been members of the pirate crew which had taken the Patriot, and that all hands had been forced to walk the plank. Later still, a dying beggar in Michigan told of having been a member of the crew and that he had been haunted ever after by the face of a beautfiul woman who had pleaded for her life so that she might visit her father in New York. Further local angle is that the pirates did not force Theodosia over the side, but had held her captive, appointing two of the crew to guard her. She somehow escaped from her captors and threw herself in the sea, whereas the two pirates were given an hour to produce her. Failing to find her they were j hanged on Baldhead Island. And j to this day at midnight on Bald- ] head, two pirates may often be j seen searcning lur men wo[hiyx. Any beautfiul woman walking on the island at midnight is likely to be stopped by the searching pirates, says the legend. McLaurin. whose interest is unusual pictures and not ghosts, had gone to Baldhead in a party consisting of several girls as models, a Southport guide, and Bill Keziah, Brunswick County's most active publicist. | Some fine pictures were shot during the afternoon, and some fine sundown scenes registered. A picnic dinner consumed, then story telling got around to the BaldIhead ghost.

"We were walking up the beach," McLaurin explains, "and probably twenty or thirty feet separated us from the couple: ahead.

When, we revived her she said that some | one, with an unkempt appear-1 ance, unshaven face, and fierce eyes had suijdenly peered into her faced. The effect had been so startling that she had fainted." It is obvious that McLaurin does not believe in ghosts, else he would have had his camera! ready. A picture of the pirate who I had guarded Theodosia Burr! would have been a photographic: masterpiece. But he still is some-! what at a loss to explain who might have thrust his pirate-like I face before the young lady with j such frightening effect that she j fainted.
