Their craft sunk in nine
feet of water off lonely Roan
oke Marshes, two miles north
of Wanehese, in Croatan
Sound, 50 miles south of
here, and having gone with
out food for 30 hours white
they endured the rigors of a
winter gale, the crew of the
yacht Silver King, which
went down Monday night af
ter having sprung a leak
from some cause not yet as
certained, arrived here Thurs
day, bringing a tale of hard
ship which has few parallels
in the recent history of
North Carolina's sound Wat
el's.
The Silver King. which is
owned by Arthur Copal, wealthy
New Yorker. was tow.-d to Kliza
bt'lh City by th? Coat*! tluard cut
ter Palllllco, unil will be repalied
al a local shipyard. Tin- Pamli
co's pump* were kepi going stead
lly loduy to keep the smaller cratt
afloat, the leak not having been
located.
The yacht, which la commanded
by Captain J Smith, of New York,
was on her way from thai city to!
Miami. Florida, through the in
1 a ml waterway when the mishap
occurred. The Silver Kins went
down Monday ttlKht about !?
o'clock. In such sudden tashlon
that, although her pumps were
hionght into play Immediately af
ter It was discovered lliat she
was leaking, all efforts to keep
lier alloat were unavailing.
All effort also was made to tow
t bi' cralt ashore, but the crew, in
small bouts, were unable to make
headway against a strong offshore
wind. They llnally Kit' UP the
task, and returned to her when
she had settled to the bottom,
with her main decks awash.
The cook's galley and all sleep
lng quartern wen* Hooded. and the
provisions aboard had been
spoiled by tb?> ?alt waUT. Hence
It was I bat (lie cr?-w wan with
out food, or any meant* of kindling
a 11 rt? . from Monday niKlH until
toward noon Wednesday, when the
l'ainllco arrived In response to a
wireless message from Norfolk.
Tb? Coast Guard out tor wax
able to come alongside the Sliver
King. and after battening all port
holes and other openings below
the waterllne, brought her pumps
Into action and succeeded In float
ing the smaller vessel in a few
hours. The cutter then towed her I
here lor repairs. ...
While nothing definite has been j
learned ns to the cause of the
leak which sent the Silver Kin*;
to the bottom. It Is believed that ,
ahe struck a submerged stump (
close by the channel through ]
[ Croatan Sound. The point where
l bo yacht went down If of! an un
inhabited stretch of marsh land
on Koanoke Island, and no assist
ance from the shore was available
Members of the crew declared a
flshhiK boat passed Tuesday, but
those u hoard made no proffer ot
assistance. t . '
The Silver KlnK Is 72 feet long,
and Ik luxuriously appointed. Cov
ered with sod intent and snaking
wet from submersion, the hand
somelv furnished sleeping quar
tets below decks look desolate
enough. It Is anticipated that re
pairs will be completed In a day
or so. and the Silver Kin* wll
continue on her Interrupted
cfulse to Florida. , tl
4 Tin- rescue of the crew and lh?
raising of the yacht were attend
ed with unusuiil difficulty, mem
bers of the Pamlico's crew stated,
due to a choppy sea. The five
im*n were taken aboard the cut
ter, and were cared for until they
reachod this city. The Silver Klna
wiih lashed alongside the larger
craft and was towed here with
the I'nmllco's pumps running
steadily to keep her afloat. He*
pairs will begin Friday morning.

hundred and fiftieth anniversary
oj I he signing of the declaration
of Independence hut mill hope* to
'evolve out of the chaos hv next
June. an expoHltion that will fit
tin gly commemorate that eveutful
date.
f llad the city not felt that Its
honor watt at Htake. as a result of
liaviuR induced President Coolidge
lo send an official government In
vitation asking foreign govern
ments to take part in the exposi
tion. the whole plan miRht have
blown higher than a kite on any
one of a half dozen occasions In
the last six months. Hut with
honor in the balance, Philadelphia
has stuck doRRedly lo her ruiih.
and today sesqul-centennial offi
cials declared nothing could block
their plans and that only the most
terrible of wluters could even post
pone the openlnR. scheduled June
1.
To date a total of something
less than $15,000,000 is reason
ably certain. Of thin total. $K.
'250.000 is in hand, pledged, and
the sesqul-centennial commission
hopes to induce Congress to add a
half million or more. Secretaries
Hoover and KellogR have agreed
to support a governmental appro
priation. The commission hopes
to collect about $5,000,000 from
iho sale of space In the various ex
hibition "palaces" to Industrial
exhibitors. It also hopes that for
, elgn governments will Invest ffi,
000.000 in buildings and exhibits.
The exposition at league Island
Park is a scene of wild activity.
The stadium is about half fin
ished and work is being rushed on
I the two main exhibit palaces and
other structures.
The history of the Hcsqui-cenlen
nial dates buck to 1916 when It
was first proposed by the late
John Wannnmaker. H wns "klllod"
by former Mayor J. Hampton
Moore, but was revived under
Mayor Kendrick.
Scandal after scandal dogRed

charges were aired lime and aRaln

commission's department and some
of these were proved. 14 was
alleged the whole affair was sim

The crisis came a month ago
when Colonel I). C. Collier, veter
an exposition man resigned as di
rector and the Government at
Washington begau to Inquire ,
whether it was going to have apol
ogize and withdrawn the invita
tions It had extended to foreign
countries.
Mayor Kendrick then took the
exposition in his own hands and
wm to Washington where he con
vinced Secretary Kellogg and Sec
retary Hoover that the exposition
could he saved from being a "flop" |
and that government support
should not he withdrawn.

Tin* figures w?r?' run firmed by
Colonel II. t;. Hester. wTri'tary of,
tin* New Orleans Cotton Kxchange
and one or (lie leading price
authoiltleH of the rountry. The
crop wan t h ?? second largest ever
urown. I), in ^ over-topped only In

grown. The l2JMJO.noU.000 to
KioweiK for lint and seed Is based
'.on average monthly prices thi*

$ 1 ,0H0, 1)00. 000 in 1 ft 24 when 13,
6311,000 hales Were I limed OUt,
lbm when prlce? were higher.
The crop wus not evenly dln
trlhutcd. All I he Miaiitsslppl Val
ley stales had large Increases, but
the crop was reduced nearly a
million bales by drought, and thin
also affected some sections In
Northern ({corgia and Western
Carolina.
Tin* flrtit third ?if the crop mar
keted brought from (wo to four
cents a pound more fur middling.
um compared with the Hime pe
riod last year. In addition the
beat v miles and long Htaple com
manded the highest ever known
.except In war time. They still
, are bringing one to six rents a
poutid above middling, lint recent
marketing!! have brought about
three centa a ponnil under laat
year for middling grades while
low ? ratten, of which it Is esti
mated there are :;.r?oo.000 bales
bringing only from K to 14 cents.
The average price of middling

sorbed nearly ti.ooo.ooo. mostly
of the better l.radex.
The in 1 1 Ih. it Is estimated, have
taken about 50 per cent of the
Kood grades in existence and ev
erything points to continued de?
niUYid or these qualities. Till'
fronts and storms late in the seas
on severely injured the quality of
the commodity in some slate*.
Much or the :i.r>OO.QOO bales of

W. <\ Nelll. sales manager
the Mississippi l-'a nil fturcau Cot-,
ton Association, has Issued an ap
peal to farmers to market fclowrf'
the cotton damaged by rultfs. He
clulmft the price would be very
much higher were It not for the
amount of "Junk" or very
grade*, in this year's crop. He
?ays the low grades will pass Wiio
consumption. although slowly,
and that of the million 1>uT?4*'
which will probably be carried oy
er from I he 1 !> 2 .1 crop will be of
doubtful spinning value.
Cotton textile manufacturer!}
Were lelli veil of considerable anx
iety by tlx announcement of the
size of the crop. Hut (he low
grade cotton still Is an upsetting
factor especially no far as the
1 fi 2 '? hKuiiiIou in concerned. It 1m
r? rtai'i that despite the size of the
present crop, planting has not
been stimulated in the South.
I'lanti rs there would far rather
raise less cotton and get 2f? cents
or nior? a pound *?r It. ?.???
