HATTERAS ISLAND
 You can stand on Cape Point at Hatteras on a stormy
day and watch two oceans come together in an awesome
display of savage fury; for there at the Point the
northbound Gulf Stream and the cold currents coming down
from the Arctic run head-on into each other, tossing
their spumy spray a hundred feet or better into the air
and dropping sand and shells and sea life at the point
of impact. Thus is formed the dreaded Diamond Shoals,
its fang-like shifting sand bars pushing seaward to
snare the unwary mariner. Seafaring men call it the
Graveyard of the Atlantic.''
