Elizwbeth City gets no ves- ! sel to take her place. This means that from now on the supply boat will be stationed at Manteo Instead of Elizabeth City, and with her will go four men who now live here with their families. They are C. O. Miller, Oscar Salter, J. G. Gray and Guy F. Hudgins. The present supply boat was pur chased only last July; but Elizabeth City has had a supply boat ever since the office of the district super intendent was moved from Shawboro to Elizabeth CK Supplies now needed by the Coast Guard stations in this vicinity will have to be ob tained by a vessel sent out from Nor folk. Supplies sent to the stations are In the nature of paints and oils, lamps and lanterns, bedsteads, mattresses, chairs, desks and other furniture, . soap, matches, mineral oil and gaso line and materials for repairing sta tions. With the exception of mln- eral oils and gasoline, these sup- plies have come from the Coast Guard store In New York City. But the mineral oils and gasoline have ibeen purchased here. Now when requisitions for supplies come In from the stations Superintendent Crowley will have to ask the Coast Guard Division commander at Nor folk for a boat to send them In. The supply boat stationed at Eliza beth City has been kept busy, ac cording to Superintendent Crowley. On one occasion recently the pres ent boat carried a cargo of 14,000 feet of lumber to one of the stations In addition to mineral oil and gaso line. Five times since July she has rendered assistance to vessels in dis tress in the vicinity of Elizabeth City, on one occasion going up the river and, hooking onto a gaa boat that had sunk, got it afloat and brought It down to railways here for repairs. On another occasion a 32-ton motor boat valued, cargo and vessel, at 135,000 was grounded In the Pas quotank and was floated and towed to Elizabeth City by the supply boat. The first intimation of the loss of the boat by the station here came in an order from Coast Guard Com mandant W. E. Reynolds at Wash ington, D. C, transferring the ves sel to the Jurisdiction of the Coast Guard Division commander at Nor folk. Then came the order from Norfolk that the supply boat proceed to Manteo to make that point her base of operations.
