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.
Large Enrollment Expected
Rock Hill?Winthrop college Is preparing
to receive on September 11,
as it opens Its 1939-1940 session a
student body of at least 1,760 girls
one hundred more than in the school
the past year and one of the biggest
enrollments since pre-depression days.
The 1,750 will not be a record as the
largest enrollment in Winthrop's history
was for the 1927-1928 session
when 1,891 were on roll. The college
has forty-five additional rooms to care
for the new students as the old music'
hall has been converted Into a dor
mitory.
TWO MARINES ACQUITTED IN
DEATH OF AUGUSTA MAN
Norfolk, Ya . Auk. 22.?A corporalion
court Jury tonight acquitted Wal-,
hit e K Miller and Lawrence M King,
two young marines, charged with the
hotel room .slaying of h\ T. Jennings,
55-yoar-old Augusta. (?a , salesman
here on July 24. The Jury waa out
j about 15 minutes
King, of Columbia, Nlisa., testified
this afternoon that Jennings mudo improper
advances to him and that Miller
then struck the salesman with a
beer bottle. Miller's home is In Johnson
City. Tenn.
King told the following story:
lie and Miller left their ship, the!
aircraft carrier Hunger, the evening
of July'24 to meet some girls in Norfolk.
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."
King's statement, Nowitzky said,
corroborated Miller's in the main.
Asia today still has tribes in which
children are betrothed before they
are born?two families agreeing that
the first boy is to marry the first girl.
