The fire occurred about 6 a.m. Sunday morning while the boat was docked a( the Beaufort waterffont. The four were taken to Morehead City hospital. Ivery Hill, of Mo bile, suffered third degree burns on both legs. Joseph Williams and Ned Jackson, both of Mobile, suf fered second degree burns, as did Herbert Stinson, of Pascagoula, Miss. Beaufort firemen believe that the fire started from a stove in the crew's quarters located below decks in the vessel's forepeak. According to the ship's captain, Elmo Murphy, the crew was asleep when the fire started, and the four apparently were burned while try ing to escape from the flames. Other crewmen escaped injury. Damage to the boat, owned by The Fishmeal Co.. operator of fish eries along the Atlantic coast, was slight. The vessel is one of many tied up at the Beaufort waterfront over the weekend during the current menhaden fishing season. Seafarers Owe Safety v To Buoy Tender Conifer Seamen plying the waters off the coast of North Carolina from Cape Hatteras to South Carolina owe their safety to 56 men based at the Fort Macon Coast Guard station. They are the six officers and SO en listed men who make up the crew of the buoy tender Conifer. The Conifer, commanded by Lt. A. E. Armstrong, is responsible for the maintenance of all aids to navi gation along this section of the North Carolina coast. The ship is responsible for 46 lighted buoys and 90 unlighted buoys. These must be kept within 50 feet of their charted positions and must also be kept in working order. In addition to the buoys, the Conifer also services Frying Pan and Diamond shoal lightships. The ships are . usually serviced twice each month. In case of emergency, the Coni fer is also assigned to search and rescue work in this area. Lieuten ant Armstrong must keep his ship ready to sail wilhin two hours at all times. The Conifer, built in 1942, was designed for buoy tending, ice breaking and towing. It is equipped with the latest in navigational equipment. The ship has a standard cruising apeed Of 12* knot* The 42.000 gallons of fuel oil which it carries in its tanks give it a cruising range of 10,000 miles. It can also carry enough food and other stores for such a trip. The ship's boom has a lifting capacity of 20 tons. The heaviest buoys which it handles weigh about IB tons fully equipped. The sMp is normally in port about 90 per cent of the time. The rest a I the tine is spent on trip* to the various buoys and lightships which require servicing. During the last three months, the Conifer travelled 5,000 miles on such trips. On a normal trip, the Conifer leaves Morehead City Monday morning, and reaches Diamond shoal about dark. It transfers per sonnel and stores to the lightship and works any buoys in the area. The ship returns to Morehead City Tuesday morning. After taking on stores and personnel for Frying Pan lightship, the Conifer immedi ately gets under way again. It ar rives at Frying Pan shoal at day light Wednesday. After servicing the lightship, the Conifer then proceeds to Southport where it services buoys in the area. These include the buoys in the Cape Fear river as far as Wilming ton. The ship returns to Morehead City Thursday or Friday. This sche dule usually varies according to weather conditions. Weather is scr important in the Conifer's work that the crew often works buoys at night by flood lights. The work must be done whenever weather permits ? day or night. On trips, the crew sleeps between servicing buoys. There are no regular hours for officers or men. All buoys must be removed and replaced every two years. The moorings must be inspected an nually. Lighted buoys must also be charged annually. Most of the Conifer's crewmen are North Carolinians with ^ large percentage from Carteret county. Lieutenant Armstrong says every transfer brings another local man to the ship. He expects to have an almost all North Carolina craw if this keeps up.

Tony | Every Tuesday morning a big brown dog comes trotting into the county courthouse in Beaufort. He goes first to the office of the clerk of the superior court and looks around. He can't seem to find what he's searching for . . . so he goes upstairs to the courtroom. In the courtroom he looks wist fully around and finally trots over to a chair. He sniffs the chair and looks completely puzzled. He leaves the courtroom and looks around the building again. But he has to leave each time without the object he's searching for. For he's looking for his master ? but his master has gone away. Tony, a 13-year-old half German police, half collie dog, is looking for M. Leslie Davis, former solici tor of the county court. He just can't understand why his master isn't there. He always was . . . each Tuesday morning when court convened. And now he's gone. But Tony is there, follow ing a life long habit of going with his friend. And no one can explain to this long-time friend of Leslie Davis that he won't be there any more. The chair in the courtroom will be occupied by someone else and an other man will make those trips to the clerk's office. But for Tony it will never be the same.

The Eagles won 25-7 on a field better suited for marsh hens than for foot ball players. The sloppy field was just right for the heavier Morehead City team. The hard-driving Eagle backs had no trouble moving in the mud. The Sea Dogs, who have de pended on speed, passing, and shifty running, could not operate effectively. The Eagles showed from the start that they were going to dom inate the play. During the entire first quarter, the teams were deep in Beaufort territory. Only good defensive play by the Sea Dogs j prevented Morehead City City from j scoring two touchdowns. Kick Blocked Beaufort received the opening kickoff and returned it to its own 33. Two running plays lost a yard and the Sea Dogs elected to kick j on third down. A fumble on the attempted kick set Beaufort back on its own 19. The next attempt | to kick was blocked and the Eagles took over on the four. The Eagles sent four plays right ' into the middle of the Sea Dog line. The Beaufort forward wall held.

Standard Oil Rates Slapped v' By Ports Group Inequitable' Charge On Morehead Contract Thrown at Company The accusation by the North Carolina Ports Authority that Esso Standard Oil company of New Jer sey is paving "inequitable" rates for use of port facilities at More head City has been clarified by Director George A. Gillette. The charge was made at the quarterly meeting in Faycttcville of the group when they voted unanimously to petition the attor ney general for information about the possibility of invalidating a 1945 contract, which sets rates paid to the Morehead City Port commis sion by the oil company. Members of the state agency de clared the Morehead City agency had entered into the contract .vhen it was in a "distressed condition and interested primarily in rinding some source of revenue." Secretary-Treasurer Terry San ford was authorized to seek the proper legal method of setting aside the contract between More head City and Standard Oil. The issue arose from a 50-year lease and contract under which the oil company uses 350 feet of dock and nine acres of land at the state owned deepwater terminal at More head City.
