Williams describes an incident of World War II having a North Carolina connection. On May 11, 1942, off the North Carolina coast, the German submarine U-558 sank HMS Bedfordshire, a British naval ship on submarine patrol. All thirty-seven British sailors were killed. Days later four bodies from the ship washed up on Ocracoke Island. Residents buried the four in a small plot. Later the United States ceded the land to England in perpetuity for one dollar.

Abstract:
Burgess discusses kenaf, a plant with amazing market potential and versatility that may one day outpace tobacco and cotton in the state's agricultural economy. Farmers in eastern North Carolina hope to become the world's largest single source of processed kenaf. The plant, which is cultivated worldwide, can stand twelve feet high and is very dense. Currently, a group of farmers in Greene, Pitt, and few other counties is growing kenaf. The group, known as Greene Natural Fibers, grows the crop, processes it, and develops markets for their products.
