STRANGERS IN
OUR OWN STATE
It has been .said that "one half of
the world does not know how the other
half Jives,'' and that Is true right here
in North Carolina. Last week we
pulled out from" here at four o'clock,
headed for Ocracoke. rnd at ? five
thirty in the afternoon we stepped off
the boat on to the plank walk lead
ing up to Pamlico Inn, run by that
master mind. Capt. Bill Gaskill. We
traveled MBin Street from Durham
to Beaufort, and , there was a sign of
tnubt*'iH.v all tl'ie "hi. the towns er
peclally showing wonderful growth
and improvement. One from the hilly
country is amazed at the beautiful
tarms seen all alone the way until
well beyond Beaufort. We left our
csts at Atlantic, and made the trip
?cross the sounds in Capt. Willis boat,
which certainly could not enter a
marathon, for it is only about thirty
miles from Atlantic to Ocracoke. but
somehow four hours is consumed on
the way.
Ocracoke is an island, the widest
port being only about- two miloc. while
lrom Ocracoke inlet on the South to Ha' -
? tcroc inlet on the , Nnrili? is ? fiftf n
miles, with Pamlico sound on the
West side and the Atlantic ocean on
the East. On this -island is six hun
dred inhabitants, several hundred pon
ies, cows and sheep and two dogs, not
to mention the gecfe and ducks. Ocra
coke island is a part of North Caro
lina, yet as different in every' respect
as if it was a foreign country. The
broirue is different from that of any
part of the State, and their mode of
living is peculiar to Itself. There are
no streets in the little town, simply
lanes, with houses here and there as
It they might have been dropped from
an airplane. There Is no semblance
of the town having been planned, or
tald off, and the streets are simply a
tome of deep *and, with no sidewalks.
?We were told, they could not build
aklewalks. as the sand shifts so that
the streets would be buried under It
almost as fast as they could be built.
Fibbing is their sole occupation, little
er no vegetation grows on the Island,
only a few scrubby trees dotted about
tbe swampy places. But they have
an all-the-year-round tourist business,
the Northerners coming down in the
winter hunting geese and duck, while
In the summer months all sections of
Notrh Carolina Is represented In the
great hordes who go there for flshlng.
But they are a happy people, and
honest to a fault, there being n? such
thing as a lock In the town, and no
Ctnrernment Is needed, for crime Is al
most unknown to them. "Where hap
plneiCi Is bliss 'tis folly to be wise."
but we prefer a little more wisdom and
hot quite so much happiness In this
race, and prefer more hills and less
water, even If Jocks are necessary.
Now, Just a line about our flshlng.
Early Wednesday morning we don
ned oar flshlng clothes and set out In
a Ford truck for a fifteen mile ride
acroea to the beach and up to'Hatteras
fhlet. Here we left the truok and
waged out Into the briny deep, and
fWr several hour* spent the time cast
big tor drum, but not a strike re
warded our efforts . Returning to
town for dinner, we went througji
tbe Same performance after dinner,
with exactly the same results. On
Thursday morning the crowd tried
the sound, and had a little luck, but
in the afternoon we met with better
luck and had tone real Aching, catch- ;
' ing fifty pounds of trout, weighing
from one and a half to two pound*.
This was the only worth while
n.Mwy ?? h.ri hut we were still falth
ful and persistent, and tried our best
efforts again on Friday, but without'
results. We fished faithfully and long,
but the wln<Js and the cold weather
against us, and we could not
qualify as first class fishermen. But.
it was a great trip and we enjoyed be
ing in this n^w jorld to us, for it is
a new world to any ohe who has
never visited Ocracoke.
