Carting off from her dork at the

had been iuoor?-d since early
Tuesday afternoon. the t\?ai?t
Guard cutter Pamlico set Iot nuse j
toward the mouth of the Pasquo
tank Rlve.r and steamed ;??.?> at
Wednesday inoniiim l??r j
itounoke Island where I" beln;, ,
celebrated the three hundred and
thirty-ninth anniversary or the
birth of Virginia Dar. with lliit
Ish Ambassador Sir Esmc Howard
representing his government and
making the principal address.
Hardly ever lias a vessel sail
ing front Elizabeth City had on
board no large a party of distin
guished passengers. The list in
cluded four Congressmen. a for-!
Inter Congressman. and Josephus
Daniels. Secretary of tlir Navy in
I Wood row Wilson's administration.
I "Won't you please puUit out to
[me Mr. Josephus Daniels." said a
I negro standing on the dock as the
1'amlico was casting of- "I've
read and hearn so much about
him that I have come down here
this morning Just to see if 1 can
get a good lo?k at him,"
Unfortunately Mr. Daniels* ad
mirer had waited ton long to
make the object of his visit
known, for the former Secretary
of the Navy. who. a moment be
fore. had been chatting with
friends on the deck, had none In
side the cabin or walked around
to the other side of the ship. The i
I'antlico slowly steamed out of tin* ?
harbor and Mr. Daniel* appeared
no more as long as faces aboard
the ship were distinguishable.
"It is always a pleasure to me
to visit thH section of North Car
olina." said Mr. Daniels before his
departure, "and particularly Eliz
abeth City. Your town. I think,
has a bright future before It and
you are getting in line with other
progressive and growing cities In
North Carolina In your plans for
a new and modern hotel.
"Your new hotel will provide
added conveniences for your trav
elling public, but It is hard for
me lo believe that It can offer bet
ter food than you get at the hotel
you have now. The spots I had for
breakfast on the morning of my
arrival came to the table piping
hot and they were fin*. In many
of the modern hotels there Is style
and there in service to the nth de
gree, but the dining room Is so far 1
from the kitchen that the food of
ten comes to the table cold." i
In commenting on Elizabeth
City's assets and advantages, Mr.
Daniels did not forget to mention I
The Dally Advance, which, be'
stated, ban made great progress In
the laM few years and now ranks j
"among the best afternoon news j
papers In the State."
"I like particularly the way The
Advance handlea and plays up the
local new* of Its territory," said
Mr. Daniels.
The I'amiico had been sche
duled to sail at 6 o'clock Wednes
day morning, but Tuesday after
noon it was decided to hold the
vessel for the arrival of the morn
ing Norfolk Southern train from
the south, bringing Congressman
C. Ij. A her net by of the Second
Congressional District and John O.
Kerr of the Third, and a number
of others. Thus It was that she
did not get under way on the four
hour or five hour run to Roanoke
Island until 6:30.
Other Congressmen on board
besides Representative* Abernethy
and Kerr, were Representative
l.lndsay Warren of the First North ;
Carolina Congressional District,
with Mrs. Warren; Representative
Homer Is. I .von of the Sixth North
Carolina District, with Mr*. Lyon;
