Destroyed by Hurricane, August 18, 1879
To reach this Atlantic Hotel which was built over the water in front
of the present Duncan Mansion on Front Street, it was necessary to
walk on the boardwalk shown in the foreground. Many guests patron
ized the hostelry during the summer months. It stood during the days
when Morehead City was still a small village, and Portsmouth on Core
Banks was a sizable summer resort. Two persons lost their lives when
the building was destroyed, one of them keeper of a barroom and billiard
shipmates in Beaufort. Among them
were Capt. John Bevendge, Lawrence
Hassell, Wiley Taylor, Capt. Henry
Noe and others. Later in life
he operated the Pamlico Inn and aid
ed materially in placing 'Ocracoke
on the map.' Cap'n Bill died two
weeks ago. The Pamlico Inn will
continue to operate under the direc
tion of David and Thurston Gaskill
and Mrs. Annie Gaskill, Cap'n Bill's
widow. The above sketch was drawn

Charles Stevens, late attorney of

During the trial iStevens appeared

Stevens appeared like he was going
to be convicted before the trend ever
ended. He was charged with collect

a claim on it. The amount was some
held in trust by Brinson who was
acting as guardian for a minor child.
When it was brought out i n court

asked to resign by the Court. Judge"
Barnhill stated later that if Brinson
did not resign as guardian it would
be just too bad for him.
