Island, veteran retired Coast Guardsman, died last Thursday night
from a heart attack at his home on Ocracoke Island where he

It was a beautiful afternoon for
your services. The sun sort of
shaded over, being lenient with its
wrath. And the wind sort of still
ed. There wasn't a ripple out there
on Silver Lake. It was as smooth
as glass. Everything was bright
and calm. And it all reminded
us of you.
The services started late in the
afternoon. About the time you
usually, returned from the postof
fice up the beach with your paper.
Only this afternoon the mail was
n't "called over" at the regular
time. The mailboat was late be
cause Elmo Fulcher had delayed as
long as he could in Atlantic in the
hope that two of your daughters
would get there. But he had to
come on without them.
We' didn't pitch any ringers this
afternoon while we waited for the
mailboat. We Just didn't feel like
it. Some of us lounged on the
porch of the store, there where
you came to sit and talk and
watch us play ringers. Most of the
fellows Just sat there in silence,
whittling, away with their knives.

Plans to Rebuild
The fish factory on Lennoxville
road, east of Beaufort, owned by
Judge Lambert R. Morris, Atlan
tic, caught fire early yesterday
morning and burned to almost
complete ruin, causing damage to
the extent of $5,000.
Slightly less than half the loss is
covered by $15,500 in insurance.
Mr. Morris said today that he plans
to rebuild at a i approximate cost
of $50,000.
Beauufort fire department was
notified of the fire by police and
the alarm sounded at 1:45 a m
Two trucks at the fire battled the
blaze two and a half hours. More
head City fire department was
alerted and sent an engine to Beau
fort to stand by.
Firemen laid one thousand feet
of hose to Taylor creek but not
enough water could be obtained
to effectively fight the flames.
Had the fire truck been able to
pump water, plant employees esti
nated that damage would have
been considerably less.
Will Dudley, foreman, borrow
?d a one and a half horsepower
Dumper from Beaufort Fisheries
and plant employees carried wat
er by bucket to a barrel from
which Dudley pumped, throwing
water on to the roof of the scrap
warehouse.
This alone saved the warehouse
ind approximately $12,000 of fish
scrap. V
Most of the damage was to ma
chinery, none of which can be re
claimed, according to Judge Mor
ris. Watching firemen as they at
tempted to bring the inferno un

Love Lures Pelly Willis
From Captain's Hen Coop
Pelly, the pet pelican which
Capt. Gib Willis, Morehead City,
rescued following its losing bat
tle with an eagle last fall has
found a mate and winged away
to some coastal rnokerv. The
giant bird became so gentle after
it had been in Capt. Willis'
goose and chicken lot for awhile
that it would eat from its bene
lartor's hand. Not long after the
rescue the big bird ws ship
shape again. But Pete did not
fly away. However, love caught
up with him recently. One day
he brought a visiting pelican in
to shore and his adopted home.
They courted for awhile and
then disappeared.
Capt. Willis believes that the
birds may have gone to Shell
Island in Pamlico Sound near
Ocracoke to set up housekeep
ing. He hopes the big bird re
turns in the autumn. Maybe
he'll show up with some young
uns!
Lightning Causes
Power Failure
Recurrent failures of electric
power Tuesday afternoon and eve
ning in Beaufort and Morehead
City were caused by Ifghtning
grossing lines just east of Cher
ry Coint, Gedrge Stovall, manager
of the local Tide Water Power Co
office, explained today.
The lightning struck a lightning
arrester and instead of grounding
the charge, the bolt was so power
ful that the line "went to ground,"
keeping power from going out
over the lines to this section.
The situation was not corrected
until 8:28 Tuesday night, Mr. Sto
vail said. Then at 2 a. in. Wednes
day morning lightning caused part
of the equipment at Cherry Point
sub-station to burn out. Power
was restored here only through by
passing that point temporarily.
Permanent repairs were completed
yesterday morning.
Electrical storms all over east
ern North Carolina have been play
ing havoc with power and tele
phone lines, Mr. Stovall reported,
causing outtages and equipment
loss.
