Grice McMullan of Elizabeth City and Tom McMullan of Hertford, now spending some time at Nags Head, are reported to have made a record breaking canoe trip from Nags Head to Virginia Beach this week. They left Nags Head Tuesday and got back there Thursday. With both boys still at Nags Head, it was impossible to learn the details of the trip here today, but paddling a canoe over the waves that intervene between Nags Head and Virginia Beach, a distance of 65 miles, is admitted to be a difficult task.
From the front page of the Daily Advance, Elizabeth City, N.C., Saturday evening, Aug. 16, 1924.
