Captain D.J. Black, Aged Skipper, Resigns

Wilmington, Jan. 2 - Captain David J. Black, for 36 years steamboat skipper in 
all the Cape Fear system of navigation, which includes the Cape Fear main 
river, Long creek and Town creek, has made his last run on the celebrated 
steamer A.P. Hurt from Fayetteville to Wilmington, and has retired to his farm 
at Point Caswell, Pender County, where henceforth he will raise hogs and 
cattle and corn, peanuts, and velvet beans. During his long career, Captain 
Black has never lost a vessel and lost but one man overboard, a deck hand who 
walked into the river some time last year.
