Timbo Jeffress, of Kinston,
Proves He's Not Afraid
Of Roanoke Current 1
Last week when the Boy Scouts
broke camp at Cam Leach, near Bath,
Timbo Jeffress. 15-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Clarence Jeffress. of Kin
ston, received a cordial invitation from
his cousin. I uh Hasselt. to visit him
k Williamston.
Timbo had often heard his mother
speak of Williamston. and he wis eag
er to visit the scenes and meet some
of the people his mother had known
and of whom he had so often heard
her speak.
Timbo was delighted when lie re
ceived the maternal permission to ac
company-Cush home, but, 10, one thing
—he must avoid that dangerous and
treacherous Roanoke River. Look at
it from afar, from the old hill a mile
away, or from the top of the* tall ohl
s>camore, hut never go near or enter
its dangerous and treacherous bosom.
To warn and caution a youth against
a thing is almost equal to urging him
to embrace it. When the boy reached
here, "the only thing of interest to him
was the river. He went down and
looked it over, and in his brcas. there
came a desire to conquer that stream
It was once considered a feat to
swim across to the Bertie side, and
few reckless souls did it. It was! not
because the river was so wide, be
ing only about UN) yards, but the swift
ness of the current and the whirlpools
were what made it a dangerous and
difficult undertaking.
The mighty Koanokc, whose treach
erous waters had engulfed so many
persons when Timbo's mother was a
child and for which she felt a fear
and dread, possessed no dangers to
the clear-cyed Timbo. He climbed
the highest pile at the wharf, and with
a double somersault plunged into the
utieam and headed direct for the other
side. He swam across once without
touching shore, twice without touch
ing shore, and so tin until he had
nii'dc the trip 2(1 times to the Bertie
tide, thus swimming the mighty Ko
anoke 40 times without stopping or
touching bottom
Timbo came ashore laughing de
risively at the treacherous Koanokc and
tinging a song saying how easy it
