the population, geograiihy, education, industries, minerals,
agriculture, highways and the fiscal affairs of the State, with
a siuninary of the'principal events of Ifififi.

Built by the Vintscr Boatwoi-k.s
in New Jersey, the boat was -clc-sign-
ed by Arno Ape! of Atlantic City,
-wheae design.? of racing boats hold
all national championships. "Miss
Maiuco,” is of the hydroplane typo.
Her po-a'cr is furnished by a 155
horse power Lycoming mclng motor
with 225 cubic inch displacement.
In the p.ast year the speedy boat
has won first place In the race
sponcored by the Dar-c Yacht Club
here in Manteo la.'.t August and
.'ccond place in the President Cup
Regatta races held in Washington,
p. C In the -last race the boat was
driven by Arno Apsl. her designer,
with Lee Hassell of Manteo serving
as co-pllot. ■ '
At the Pasquotank Yacht ' club
race in-Ellzabeth City, “Miss Mnn-
teo", hit a streak of b.ad luck and
lost one of the earlier runs because
of a cracked cylinder hc-a-d. But
she w.as qulcldy repaired sufficient- |
ly to allow her entering the grand
free for all, in -which she took first
place.
The highest officially timed speed
ever got out of "Mies Manteo", was
62.7 miles per hour In Washing
ton she made the fastest lap of any
boat in the race at an -average
speed of 53 7 miles per hour.
Mr. Creef has already ordered
the construction of another boat to
be designed by Apei. Her motor
willYbe of the same make as the
present VMiss Manteb's", but It;w;il
tie' _:of 175-' horsepower strehgih-7 a
great deal -more powerful than'the
155 horsepower motor Ih. the old
boat. The new boat rvlll be named
•Miss Manteo II". She is guaran
teed to surpass the boat speed of
"Miss Manteo i". -Mr Creef plans
to run in the general schedule of
motor boat racing in this part of
the coujitry.
-In the meantime, the old bo.rt Is
sitting in her shed waiting for the
day that will soon take her forever
