I am compelled to ignore thier presence. When pos sible I go on writing as if it were only mosquitos out there. About half of them look mysti fied and go away. They had been looking for a museum, or the mus eum. They stare at me as if I were a mummy, or maybe a tame turtle. According to their natures and their origins, they make ob servations. If I had a stenograph er or a dictaphone or something ■ concealed over there under the window the proceeds of it might be a liberal education of some sort Maybe I could make it serve for a Ph. D. thesis and get to be called Doctor. They’ve called me everything else. One lady said to another lady that maybe it was Sir Walter Raleigh, and another—well, maybe I hadn’t better go into that . . . They wonder if there were wire screens in the windows back yon der when John White lived on this island, and if there was a tele phone, and if there were tourists. One day there was a water melon, a sort of left over from some festivity that they had in here. To the window wandered a lady who had probably exhausted all the available masculine atten tion back home, and over about the Casino. She had a roving eye. A very roving eye, and it roved around the house until it came to the watermelon. She inquired archly if I were about to serve watermelon, or did I just keep it. She then thought that I was a mummy .... Well, the film beat me to the draw, and the bell that rings when the Spaniards enter the inlet—I can hear it from all the way down there—beat me by a little and I didn’t look so much like a mum my getting down there .... Not that there was any need of my going, except I have not yet, in 61 performances when I was on the island, missed the final march of “The Lost Colony.” It—well, I don’t miss it. Now thatthe am plifying machinery works, I want never to miss it again, when the ghosts cry out in the night of the deserted fort after the wilderness has swallowed them, and the lights come up as the agony of^the March into the Wilderness re cedes. And Mr. Jernigan, well, I’d have to dodge Mr. Jernigan, because I had sworn a more or less mighty | oath that I’d have this truck ready for him when he got out of the show tonight. I missed him alto gether, what with being surround ed by all sorts of my favorite peo ple. They are Coast Guardsmen. There are two things that drag me from where I am when that bell rings to assemble the company for the march into the wild. One of them is the overwhelming cli max of the show itself and the other is just people coming out of the show. I like to look at their faces. There are strange things written on them. Miss Margaret Hanna and Miss Audrey Meads of Elizabeth City are spending the week at the At lantic View Hotel. ' Mrs. Monk Gillespie is spending some time with her husband who is playing with Van Keys Orches tra. Miss Jimmy Southgate of Dur ham has been the week end guest of Miss Many Frances Buchanon.
