ship, a schooner, ran ashore In the
vicinity of Cape Hatteraa. with all sail
set, the cargo untouched and only a
squawking parrot aboard.
An examination of their records led
the commerce department otftolalw to
believe that a total of five ahipa have
mysteriously disappeared off of Cape
Hatteras during the last few months.
This Is In addition to the wrecking of
the Schooner Dcerlng. which ran
