Banka still remember at "the
August Storm of *W." You will
find many along the coast today
who claim that the moat recent
hurricanes whether the whopper
of *33, the big one in '44 (which
earned tides to rise seven feet (eet
above normal in leas than an hour)
and the no-lady that waa known aa
Hani, as being "the warit," of
all. During half a lifetime for me,
since 1028 to be exact, the biggeat
of all storm* if one listens to the
old timers, waa San Ciriaco ?
the August Hurricane of 1880.
David Stick in hia Graveyard
of The Atlantic lists seven veaaels
that were loat on the North Caro
lina coaat during this great storm
? the "Aaron Reppard, Florence
Randall, Lydia Willis, Fred Wal
ton, Robert W. Daaey, Priscilla,
and the lightahip driven ashore
from Diamond Shoals; six others
dlaaapeared at sea without a
trace ? John C. Haynes, M B.
Hillen, Albert Schultz, Elwood H.
Smith, Henry B. Cleaves and
Charles M. Patterson."
Many lives were lost but old
times will emphasise that no resi
dent of the Outer Banks was killed
or drowned. As matter of fact, the
Outer Banks, so the natives will
tell you are the safest place in
the world during hurricanes. It
may not fake good sense but they'll
explain why ? something to do
with sea and sound tides meeting
on flat surfsce, not cliffs or rock
bound hills.
The late Big Ike O'Neal of
Ocracoke, who died recently at
near 90 used to tell a humorous
anecdote about the storm of '99.
Hal Boyle of the AP used the
yarn in one of his famous columns.
Said Big Ike:
"The tides were rising fast and
my ole dad, fearful that our house
would wash from its foundations,
said: 'Here son, take this axe and
scuttle the floor.' I began chopping
away and finally knocked a hole
in the floor. Like a big fountain
the water gushed in and hit the
celling and on top of the gusher
was a mallard duck that had
gotten under our house at the tides
pushed upwards."
The 1913 hurricane struck Ocra
coke on Sept. 3. The George W.
Wells, first six-masted schooner
ever built, was cast ashore during
that storm ? a total lot' A 'nw

A house only 12 inches high is
attracting attention on television

Its exterior, whic!: lilts off in
one piece, is a miniature of the
Little White House, vacation re

The five rooms are a designer's
delight, decorated to provide
ideas for gracious living by the
average American family.
It took an industrial designer
and five associates some 1,800 man
hours to complete the house,
which is 46 inches wide and 22
inches deep.

recalled that days after the tides
of the September 1913 gale had
gone, a dying porpoise was found
in the crotch of an Ocroacoke live
oak.
