In the general remarks section of the lifesaving logs, various stylistic standardizations were implemented to make the remarks easier to understand. Beyond the stylistic changes listed below, the transcriptions remain faithful to the original copies. Also categorized are the complete alphabetical lists of all the unique spellings that occur in the general remarks:
Kitty Hawk Weather Station
Kill Devil Hill Life Saving Station
During the transcription, fifteen words from the Kill Devil Hills Life Saving Station documents could not be identified. Until these illegible words are identified, the written image of that word will appear in the general remarks section to enable readers the opportunity to figure out the missing material.
