NEW BERM JOURNAL. NEW-BERN. NORTH CAROLINA. JANUARY 22 1915 SEMI-WEEKLY 4i : r.- L '. - - . 01 Terrible Tragedy Mrs. J. W. Murray Gives Graphic Account of The Burning of The Yacht Julia and Death o( Three People Report From Belhaven Says Two Of The Bodies Found. Heartbroken and physically dis abled from being two hours or more in freezing waters of Long Shoal Point river, Mrs. J. W. Murray of Burlin ton, N. C, the only survivor of the party of four wl ieh included herself and husband, Mrs! W. E. Porch of Beaufort and G. P. Dodson of Nor-' folk, who lost their lives when the yacht Julia burned to the water's edge early last Friday morning, ar rived here yesterday at noon on board of the revenue cutter Pamlico, which had been assisting in the search of the bodies of the victims since last Satur day afternoon. I Accompanying Mrs. Murray were C. Brown Cox of Burlington, a busi ness associate of Mr. Murray, and It. A. Cherry and Solicitor Charles L. Abernethy of this city, who are friends of W. E. Porch of Beaufort whose wife was lost and who had gone to the scene to aid in the search. Mrs. Murray was picked up by a fisherman two hours after the sink . ing of the boat and later carried to Engelhard, where she remained until Sunday night. Communication with that point has been almost impossi ble for the last day or two, and until yesterday no statement had been given by Mrs. Murray, the only aurvivor, to the public. A Journal leporter secured the first and only interview with her, which was given out direct to a newspaper, and this m of particular interest. Mrs. Mur ray said: Mrs. Murray's Story "It is a hard matter for me to tell just what happened. Thursday night -we, reached a point w hich Mr. ' J4r. Murray had purchased the Juliu, said was Long Shoal Point and we dropped anchor about two miles and a half from a small island. We all retired about 10:30 or 11 o'clock and the next things that I remember was bearing some one strike a match and then I found myself going through a window on the opposite aide of the boat from that on which I had been lying. In going out 1 grasped a life preserver which was on top of the cabin and held on to this. "I saw Mr. Murray pick up Mrs. Porch whose garments were on fire and throw her into the water and then jump overboard himself. That was t he last time I saw them. 1 managed to get the life preserver caught around my body and was floating easily. In a few minutes I saw Mr. Dodson come floating down toward me and I called to him to take hold of my life preserver ank Baye him self, but he was afraid that if he d:d this we would both sink. He told me goodbye' and then sank be low, the surface. How long I floated around I cannot say; it seemed like ages, but my rescuers say it was two hours. Anyway, after awhile I heard a boat coming and soon I was picked up. This boat was ono owned by Captain Midgett, who was a member of a party of fishermen on the island nearby. After they placed me in the boat they searched around for the others but could find no trace of them. They then carried me to the island where I was given re- , storativet . and wrapped ' in warm blankets and. was next day carried . over to . Engelhard.' ! The accident was horrible and that awful night will never.; be forgotten by me." , ' Someone Struck A Match . Mrs. Murray's story clears up all speculation as to how. the accident - happened. Some one, (who, will ever - remain " mystery, struok . a'matob. ". .. This caused the gasoline fumes to ignite and to set the boat on fire. The tanks did not explode at first and it was not until the vessel had burned Its rope cable in two and floated off down stream that they -burst. The craft then had burned to the water's edge and this acoounts - . . for the fact that only one piece, a window frame, is the only part of the boat found. Search for the bodies has not been given Up and will not ha until thev are found. . .

Praise Cutter Crew The revenue cutter Pamlieo as sihtud in the work of dragg'ng for the bodies on Saturday afternoon and Sunday and Mrs. Murray, and Mr. Cox. her husband's associate in business, were profuse in their praise of the kindness and consideration .shown them by Captain Joynea and his men and have asked the Journal to express their thanks to them. The citizens of Engelhard were also praised for their hospitality, and just before leaving last night, Mr. Cox said:' "Those people are the kindest it has has ever been my pleasure to meet. In addition to doing everything pos sible for Mrs. Murray, Mr. Porch and others of us who were searching for the victims of the accident, they absolutely refused to let us pay them a penny." C. B. Atwater, a brother of Mrs. Murray, arrived in the city yesterday morning from Burlington and ac companied her home last evening. Two Bodies Found? A report reached New Bern late last night that the body of Mrs. Porch and the body of one of the men, either Mr. Murray or.. Mr. Dodson, had been found yesterday afternoon by the crew of a fishing smack which was cruising in the vicinity of the accident and that these had been carried to Belhaven. The" Journal endeavored to; get into communication with Belhaven over the long distance . telephone, but owing to the fact that the wires were down at some point on the line' it' was impossible to do this. Mr. Porch, who had returned to Beaufort, was notified of the report which reached New Bern in regard to the finding of the bodies and will arrive here this morning enroute to Washington, whero his wife's body will be sent if it has been found. He will bo joined here by It. A. Cherry of the Qaston hotel. While there is some doubt as to the finding of the bodies, the report onine from a very reliable souroe and there is a probability that it is true.

There were very few seats in the large auditorium that were unoccu pied and the audienisj was composed of from the smallest school child to the old gray-headed men who followed the colors '(list the gener als, in whose honor the exercises were held, so bravely led. With the assistance f the teach ers and students of tho'public school, the members . of --Ike Chapter had arranged a most .interesting and ap propriate program. I'' Following the hymn, "Onward Christian Soldiers," which was rendered by the audience, Rev. L. B.

Following "Just Before the Battle Mother", which wasi beautifully ren dered by the school children, the principal speaker,. Bon. Charles L, Abernethy was introduced by ProJ H. B. Craven. Mir. Abernethy fs Solicitor of the Superior Court o this district, and' is a speaker of rare ability. He had his-subject well at command and delivered a very ap propriate address in his usual elo quent manner. "Obe hundred and oight years ago Robert Edward Lee w horn," said Mr Abernethy. "and eVetflto i.i:4imrimA the occasion. He stands out con spicuotwly as a great General. He gooi down in history along with such generals as Hannibal and Napoleori His fame will endure longer than theirs, for the purity of his life and character is an addition to his great leadership and is something which the historian does not ascribe either to Hannibal or Napoleon, and when I ascribe such qualities to Lee, it is not the hero worship of the South erner. By his achievement he won high place amongst the groat generals of history. Though ham pered by lack of -material and poli tical , necessities nis strategy was daring. His surpassing ability was never more conspicuously shown than in the last hopeless stages of the con flict.- The personal historv of Lee is lost in the history of the great crisis of America's national life; friends and foes alike acknowledge the purity of" his motives, the virtue of his private life, his earnest Christ ianity and the unrepining loyalty with whioh he accepted the ruin of his party." Gen. Robt. E. Lee. la speaking along this line Mr. Abernethy related in a very inter esting manner, the position that Iee held at the time of the outbreak be tween the States. "He gave up lu crative and responsible commission in the United States Army. He was offered the command . of the field Army of the United States as it was about to'invttde the Southern Status, but he refused, to take, up arms in defense of his native land, Virginia. Hjs name is a household word in every Southern heme, his hallowed, memory, dwells ,.rnevery. Southern heart.

WAsn we look upon, the gray hairs, the Crinkled, chseks. and furrowed brows of the men -who left their fami Ues,W firesides and friends for their country's call, and when we ponder over the few who are now left behind, it causes the heart to mellow, the eye to dim with tearsand awakens with in, nobler and loftier thoughts, and makes one glad that he is permitted to live in an age and in; a country wherein -dwells Confederate soldiers, No grander hero ever lived, than the true confederate soldier,- Brave, Man lyr tried and true.

Vu., who lost their lives when the yacht Julia burned to the water's edge last Friday morning, had met with no success. A report reaching New Hern on tin previous night was to the effect l hat two of the bodies, those of Mr. Mur-jlhe rav and Mrs. Porch, had been located 1 by the crew of a fishing smack. This report however, proved to have been erroroneous and was miscon strued from a message stating t hat- Mrs. Murray, the only survivor, was on her wav to New Bern on hoard of a boat. When the report of the finding of the two bodies reached New Bern, W. K. I'orch, manager of Ye Olde' Colony Inn at Beaufort was notified and he was to have gone over to Washington yesterday to take charge of these, but before the train on which he was to ha made the trip left Beaufort he f notified of the mistake and did not Yesterday afternoon Mr. I'or secured a boat and with a crew oT ten men set sail for the point a which the Julia was lost, and they vv i cruise, over that section for several days in the hope that the bodies, if not brought up by some of the searching parties, will come to the surface and be located then. C. Brown Cox, one of Mr. Mur ray's business associates' and who tne aociaent as possioie anu wno later accompanied Mrs. Murray back to Beaufort, is expected to return to the sceno of the tragedy within the. next day or two and also assist in the search. Hope that the bodies will be found has not by any means been given up. HARRY K. THAW WASSERENADED After the Demonstration He Shook Hands With Chorus Girls Manchester, N'.

Those attending the1 meeting feel encouraged in their work by the ref erence t the state's tax laws made by Governor Whitman in bis initial mes sage to the legislature.

Now, however, the conditions art infinitely more painful. The fighting then was in the autumn; now it is in the depth of winter.
