Crissy Wright (??atlaw4 from P?ff 1) As they did this, they could hear the cries of the men on shipboard Many of Uie women carried food and made coffee for the men on tfc? beach during tfceir watch. Time wore on, the men were help less in their rcscue attempts, and the cries of the ship's crew grew weaker and thinner, making it ob vious that some had not survived their ill-fated pligfet. The Shackleford Banks residents kept watch on the ship from the time it was sighted at daybreak until late afternoon of the follow ing day. It was this long before a rescue could be attempted, due to rough seas and high waves breaking on the shore. Time dragged on, and finally when the seas subsided, the men launched the boat and made their way to the ship, only to find the crew dead except one There were seven men on the Crissy Wright . . a captain, mate, cook and four deck hands Two men took to the shrouds of the mainmast, which broke off. and they fell into the sea. Later the bodies washed ashore, and were buried on the Banks. Three men were cut loose from the shrouds of another mast, frozen. One crew member had made his way out on the jib boom and work ed his way into the folds of the . jib. A second man followed tl,c first on the boom, and stretched him self out on top of the first man. He was the only survivor Evident ly the other members of the crew had lashed themselves to the ?hrouds to keep from being wash ed overboard or killed by lumber which was awash on the deck. The sole survivor, and the bod ies of the other men were cut loose from the rigging and taken ashore to Diamond City. Thr sur vivor had presence of mind . nough to tell the men not to lake him close to the fire, so tiiey walked him and massaged him until he had thoroughly thawed out. He was then taken to Mr. Tyra Moore's house at Wade Shore (grandfather of L. W. and E. 0. Moore), where he spent the night. The next day the steamer Nellie Dey, manned by Capt. Mark Ma son, his sons, John Wash, Dick, and Holloway, and possibly Capt. Sam Howland, picked up the bod ies and brought them into Beau fort Residents crowded around at the shore, to behold a sight not to be forgotten easily. The survivor was brought to Beaufort by the folks at Shackle ford, and after spending a few days, was sent to the hospital in Norfolk. After a short while, word came to Beaufort that his mind nad gone bad and he soon died. In the meantime, the four corpses were kept in the old Town Hall near the city dock for three days. Local people were trying to locate relatives, and failing to do so, they decided to have burial services for them. The town fathers said they had ?o money for that purpose, so Capt. Mark Mason directed them to get the necessary lumber and be would pay for it. The timber was purchased, Mr. John Noe built the coffins, and they were buried in the church cemetery on Ann Street. Not too loaf after the burial, the captain's brother was located and came to Beaufort. He took the bodies of his brother and brother in-law to their home in New York, leaving the remaining bodies in the old cemetery. The legend of the Criasy Wright lives on. Whenever we have a hard freeze people will say, "This is a Criasy Wright time." Further proof of the great catastrophe is portrayed by the mural in the Beaufort postoffice, depleting scenes of this tragedy. It's well t? Mte here that as a direct result of this, the the need for a Life Saving Station was fur ther emphaaiied. One waa begun the following year at Cape Look out, and the first patrol boat was brought into use on Jan. 24, 1888. Cub Scout* Begin Work On Nockorchiof Slides Den 4 of Cub Scout pack 371 met Thursday. We opened the meet ing with the Cab Scout promise. After that we had refreshments.

Morehead Chorus Travels To Smyrna High for Concert By ANDREA Mc KNIGHT Well, it looks like spring has "flown the coop." Just when ev ery body was netting a good tan. The Carter holidays spoiled most of us, because it is so hard to come bark to school after a vacation. But only one more month and we will be out for three months' vacation! Last Wednesday. April 13, the traveling chorus, under the direc tion of Mr. Ralph Wade, visited Smyrna high school. The - mem bers went caravan style and sang for the school at 10:30 a.m. Among the songs they sang were the Processional Hymn; Halle lujah, Amen; The King and I; Bug gy Ride; Red Wing; 7? Trom bones. Magic Moments. The girls' glee club sang four numbers: Lit tle David. Play On Your Harp; The Swing; Ay, Ay, Ay; and 1 Hardly Think I Will. The chorus thoroughly enjoyed being at Smyrna; we only hope they enjoyed our singing as much aa we enjoyed visiting them. At lunch time, all the chorus members had a picnic on the ground after which they all joined Straits Church Presents Drama An Easter drama, A Great In heritance, was given Thursday night at Straits Methodist church. The drama was a sequel to the Bible story of the rich young ruler who asked Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Mrs. H. D. McFarlane directed the play and planned the authentic costumes worn by the cast. Be cause of the death of her mother Mrs. McFarlane could not attend the last week of rehearsals, or the production Thursday night. Mrs. Ray West acted as substitute di rector.

Mrs. A1 Hubbard was pianist. The play took place at Abdon's home. The first two scenes took place in March, before the cruci fixion of Jesua, and the last scene took place three days after the crucifixion. Characters were A b d o i, the young ruler ?

His feet were made out of mud (or at least it looked as if they were). But it was all in fun! The chorus also sang for the MCHS students Friday, April 22. They presented the same numbers that they sang at Smyrna. The audience tended to like Buggy Ride the best because of the "clip clopping".
