who were stranded foi- 48
hours in a small speed boat
in I'amlico Sound during the
severe cold snap immediately
after Christmas, was an

J. A. l'rice, superintendent of
the Seventh District of the
Coast Guard.

Wednesday niglit from a week'a
trip to the llatterns Hanks to in-1
veatigate charfics of negligence
filed by Captain D. F. Stowe, of
Hatteras, in connection with the'
incident. He interviewed the en
tire crews of both stations, lie f
nays, along with u number of pri-;
vate residents of the banks coun-j
try, and in not a single instanco
did heflnd blame attached to the |
Coast Guardsmen for their failure
to discover and rescue tin two;
youths.
In IVs|M>iat? Htm It *
Stowe and Huskctt were rcs
^ cued Monday afternoon. Decern-,
ber 28. by the former's brother.!
Samuel Stowe, who had gone out!
to search for them alone In a i
small Kasboat. They had been >
stranded on Clam Shoal, off ltux-i
' ton, since the preceding Saturday
ufternoon, and were in desperate
straits from exposure and lack ot j
food and water. It was upon
their statement that they had!
fired guns, had burned Hares on I
the dock or their craft, and had
shown distress signals that j
Stowe'a father. Captain II. F
Stowe. filed charges against the
Coast Guardsmen at ihe two sta-1
i* tloiiB nearest Ituxtou.
j* Examination of Government j
charts today disclosed that the
j point at which the boys' boat was i
' stranded was Ave and one-quarter i
nautical miles, or about six land ;
miles, from Big Klnnakeet Sta
tion, and a fraction (?f a mile far
there fronv New Creed s Hill Sta-,
tlon. Superintendent l'rice stated.
At that distance, it would have
been Impossible for the Coast
Guardsmen to have discerned the
spoed boat with the naked eye, he
declared. remarking that In
three days spent there, lie was
never able to him* two buoys with
in 150 yards or so of the spot
where Ihe boat was.
Superintendent l'rice reminded
that the buoys are conspicuous
objects, 10 feet high, and palntid
black siid ml. whereas the cabin [
of the boat was painted white, I
and. was not more than five feet
above the water level. "The*
sound was full of floating Ice at
the time," he reminded, "and that
would haVe made It all the moie.
r ^difficult to discern a small boat
of almost Ihe same color.' ' |
The investigation disclosed also
that the crews of the two sta
tions had liHd no word that the)
boys w< ri? mission. Kupt. l'rice!
| said, adding that Captain Stowe j
had got In touch with the tele- j
graph operator at Cape llatteras,
on the M< nday that the boys i
wero found, and that the latter i
had communicated only with j
Chlcamaconilco Station, far up i
the banks, having no Idea that Ihe |
boys' boat was ho close at hand.
A searching crew went out from j
that station, he stated.
First Word Monday
Supt. Price explained further
that the first word In* received
that the boys were iri!ssing wax

this city, brother-in-law of Stowe.

000 In certificate? of Indebtedness
by the Perquimans County Com
mlssloners. The money will In
loaned to the State Illghwuy
Commission for construction of a
Hand-asphalt highway northward
ly from Wlnfall to Gliden. a dis
tance of about 12 miles. It will
he 1G feet wide.
It in anticipated that contract
for tho Wlnfall-Gllden road will
he awarded at the regular State
Highway Com mis? Ion letting In
February. The road will pass
through Belvldere. and at Ollden
will connect with the present State
Highway from Kdenton to the Vir
ginia line and thence to Suffolk
and Norfolk.
Gate? County residents are de
clared to be at work on a pro
posal to lend the State Highway
Commission funds for construc
tion of a paved road from Gates
vlllo to Mitchell's Fork, near Gli
den. which In effect would be a
continuation of the Win fall-Gil
den road to Gatesvllle. Wlnfall Is
about a mile and a half by con
crete highway from Hertford, and
the new road system, therefore,
would In effect connect Hertford
and Gatesvllle.
From Gatesvllle to Kllzabeth
City via the Acorn Hill road Is a
distance of 36 miles. The distance
between the two points over the
Wlnfall-Gllden road will be sever
al miles less, according to J. S.
McNider, Hertford attorney and
good rouds enthusiast, who quotes
highway engineers on the subject.
Mr. McNider points out further
that the latter highway will be
hardsurfaced. or approximating
hardBurfaced construction all the
way. with the possible exception of
about two miles between Gliden
and Mitchell Fork, whereas many
miles of the Acorn Hill road are of
unimproved dirt construction, and
may not be hardsurfaced for years
ot come.
Perquimans County's certifi
cates of Indebtedness will draw In
terest at 5 per cent. They were
sold to a New York concern a few
days ago. under an arrangement
whereby the county will receive a
rebate of 2 per cent on all funds
unexpended after a period of six
months. Tho certificates were Is
sued on a short term basis, with
the Idea of the State redeeming
them before they fall due. In the
event they ar not thus redeemed
at maturity. It Is anticipated thai
Perquimans will Issue bonds to re
tire them.
To offset the Imminent prospect
of keen competition from Hertford
for Gates County's trade. It has
been forecast that Chowan County,
with Kdenton as Its county seat,
will construct a hardsurfaced high
way to Gliden from the point
where the present paving stops,
probably doing this also on the
basis of a loan to the State High
way Commission to bo repaid at
some future date.
