Stanley Griggs, chief of the Lower Currituck Volunteer Fire

Department, rests on a heat-warped I-beam amid the ashes of the

Captain's Watch Restaurant Friday in Point Harbor. The bar and

eatery had stood at the west end of the Wright Memorial Bridge to

the Outer Banks for 50 years. A passing motorist reported the blaze

shortly after 4 a.m. The cause of the fire has not been determined.
