Think Ancient Hull Was Old Gunboat Raleigh, N. C., Auk 19.?The skeleton of a boat unearthed on the sands of Bodle Island in Dare county last May and at first believed to be a sixteenth century model baa been ten* tatlvoly Identified as a United States Kunboat built in 1808. in a report on the vessel, TUor Borrepen, Junior research technician with the national park service, speculated that the ship was wrecked by an explosion near Uoraooke Inlet fu 1814. The old guubbat, he wrote, "has so much similarity (to the Bodle Island find) that the writer is tempted to say, 'This Is It.' " By checking records on the natlou's shipbuilding, Borresen discovered accounts of two boats wrecked off the Carolina coast?one off Cape Hateras and driven "nearly a mile In the woods" ashore by a hurricane, the other near Ocracoke Inlet In 1814. The latter exploded accidentally and presumably burned to the water's edge, Borreseu said, and the llodto Island wreck gave strong evidence of having been burned, though remaining timbers were "solidly built." TEXAN USE8 "HERO" CHECK TO REPAY F. S. A. FARM LOAN The government recently received a check for $1,000 from the Carnegie Heroism Trust-?an award for bravery in llfesavlug. It happened this way. Charlie BakeK" a 37-year-old farmer in McLennan county, Texas, obtained a rehabilitation loan from the Farm Security Administration, to got a new start in farming, Just as hundreds of thousands of other hard-pressed farmers have done in recent years. With the loan he bought the livestock ' a n d equipment he needed for sound oper-1 ation of his 450-acre ranch. Recently he was down by t h e Rosque river watching a group of people swimming. Suddenly Jo Ann M.onslngo, a 13-year-old girl, stepped into water over her head. As the current started carrying her downstream, Baker plunged in after her?clothes, shoes, and all. He weighs only 120 pounds and when the young girl grabbed him he went under with her. He broke away and tried again, but the same thing happened. Finally he managed to get her close enough so that those standing on nearby boulders could reach her. They had to pull Baker out, too, The Carnegie Trust Bent Baker a medal and told him he would receive $1,000 for a purpose approved by the trust management. Baker decided to use the money to pay his government loan and the check was made payable to the Farm Security Administration. The farmer-hero made only one condition. He specified that the F. 8. A. county supervisors should continue to advise him on good farming practices, as they had done previously.

The girls failed to appear. He and Miller saw Jenings In a doorway and began talking to him. Jennings Invited the marines to have some beer. After several beers they went to Jennings' hotel room at I , his invitation. After discussing "general topics," Jennings made improper advances while Miller was in the bath room | Miller came out of the bathroom and hit him with a bottle and we were I all in a scuffle. "We didn't think the man was hurt, very badly. We left and crossed the ferry to the Navy Yard and aboard ship. I first discovered Jennings had died the next day when Miller came to tell me. I did not make a report, immediately because I was afraid. I| didn't know what to do. "I had never seen or heard of Jen-! nings prior to meeting that night."
