BURIED TREASURE
ATTRACTS PEOPLE WHO
SHOULD KNOW BETTER
By FRANKLIN COCHRAN
Buxton. Buried treasure at
tracts a lot of people who should
have enough sense to know better.
I know better, but today I got to
thinking again about Blackbeard
and all that money and gold, spices
and silk that he is supposed to
have stashed around here on the
Outer Banks.
Os course we don’t take the spic
es too seriously nowadays, nor the
silks and satins, and fine raiment.
We’ve got Heinz and du Pont to
take care of those articles, but so
far, no one has found a satisfactory
subsitute for money and that other
stuff I mentioned.
I thought about buried treasure
a lot last summer and just about
came to the conclusion that I could j
figure out where a guy like Black- |
beard would hide some of the,
stuff. This week, flying down to j
Ocracoke after I had deposited my |
passenger on the beach near the ;
Coast Guard Station, I decided on
the return flight over the island I
would have another look at that
big, boxlike shape in the sandhills |
that was partly uncovered by the I
hurricanes.
It was a cold day and the heater ,
in the little airplane wasn’t work- J
ing. Flying alone with my hands ;
under my armpits and wishing I ■
could get my feet under too, I lin
ed up my old landmarks and there
she was, in the same place I had
first discovered it. Last Fall I
wondered and fretted about this
big, square-shaped and box-like ob
ject in the sandhill so much that
it just wore me out thinking about
it. Actually taking a trip down ;
there for the specific purpose of I
examining it occurred to me many
times, but for fear of being needled
by my friends, I just kept putting
it off until I just wouldn’t fly near
it anymore.
But this week, I just got to
thinking that a fellow could come
pretty close to guessing where a ■
pirate like Blackbeard might try |
to bury his loot.
For instance, say you are a pi- .
rate. I don’t mean to say you are ;
dishonest. Just say you goofed |
once and couldn’t quit. Then say I
you swung into operation around i
the turn of the 18th Century with ;
all the opportunities to investigate i
the interesting cargoes of ships of j
all nations. There were a lot of,
opportunities for a young man to .
make a living during that period,
especially if that young man hap
pened to be a successful pirate.,
Blackbeard was definitely a sue- i
cessful pirate, otherwise why did
they go to so much trouble and ex I
pense to cut his head off.
So being a lucky and successful ■
Pirate, Biackbeard must have made '
a lot of money and this is where :
you come in.
If you were a Blackboard, where j
would you do your banking ? The
answer’s very simple, you wouldn’t
bank, you would bury. See how far
you’ve gone already toward find
ing a treasure.
Now the next step is where
I would you bury it? From here on
out, deduction becomes a little
more difficult. Under the ground,
of course, but the ground around
on Ocracoke Island is likely to wash
away a bit from time to time
around the edges. Much of the
shoreline cannot be depended to
stay put in one place for too long.
Even if you know this, what then,
would you do.
Now you're really beginning to
click on your deduction and I am
sure you can go on from this point
to find the spot of buried treasure
by yourself. Its really simple,
when you go about deducing the
right way. Just get the facts and
go on from there.
I got to this same stage of reas
oning last Summer and was just
on the verge of uncovering some
thing important, I hoped, when
Channel Bass began to bite. And
since it was too cold on that flight
this week, even to think, I decided
to let further deduction go until
the weather warms up. That
shouldn’t be long though, because
they’re saying here that “Spring is
just the Point.”
Tell you what, though. You come
on down here next May or earlier,
and I’ll fly you down to Ocracoke
and show you the big, box-like
thing buried in the sandhill.

BEARDS SPROUTING
ON SEVERAL CHINS
Beards are sprouting and being
cultivated on many chins along
the Dare Coast and as time moves
along there will be many mere
started. It is not a case of people
forgetting to shave, according to
David Stick of Kill Devil Hills.
“Tt-Py pv e growing beards for
the Dare Coast Pirate Jamboree,”
said Stick, who is chairman of the
“beard growing committee” of
this event planned as an official
vacation season launcher bn April
29-May 1. To take part in the
beard growing contest which offi
cially opened February 1, a per
son does not have to sign any en
trance papers, all they have to do
is grow hair on their chin, which
they may cultivate in any man
ner they wish. The general idea
is to grow a beard that you think
would be .most suitable for a pi
rate, whether long or short, trim
med or otherwise.
Judging of beards will be a fea
ture of the Pirate Ball on Satur
day night, April 30, and appro
priate prizes will be awarded the
winners, Stick stated.

PARKING AREAS AND
APPROACH ROADS
ON SEASHORE PARK
Many Facilities Under Construc
tion; Water Supply Sought
Parking areas and approach
roads for a new bathing beach at
the Cape Hatteras National Sea

being constructed. Work on facili
ties for the public bathing beach
which is just south of the Admin
istration Building of the National
Seashore has been in full swing,
for more then a week. The State
Highway Department, working
under contract with the National
Park Service, is constructing a
wide approach road that makes a
long sweeping curve from the ex
isting headquarters parking area
southward toward the Bodie Is
land Lighthouse. Parking areas
are to be located at the point
where the road comes closest to
the ocean. Bath houses, dressing
rooms and other visitor facilities ;
will be located between the park
ing area and beach.
Highway Engineer Tom Moran,
and Engineer Warren Oliver,
from the Philadelphia Office of
the National Park Service, were
at the National Seashore for sev
eral days inspecting road con
struction and planning for instal
lation of sanitary facilities. Mr.
Oliver, NPS expert on water sup
ply and sewerage disposal, con
sidered the problem of an ade
quate fresh water supply for the
beach development. Arrange
ments were made for the drilling
of a series of test holes in the
