The Herring descendents did not mind living on the Island. The girls could row a boat as well as the men. They attended Murray Har ¬ bour North school, and they would row across to Machon's Point and go to church with the young people from there. My mother often told me how they would cook in the big open fireplace, make their own candles, and even shear the sheep, card the wool, spin the yarn and weave the cloth, also make suits for her brothers, by hand sewing. She also told me how the Indians would come and camp in the woods. The natives would give them food, and found them a very friendly tribe. Recently, Treasure Hunters have found "arrow heads" on the Island. The large trading vessels would come in to the East end of the Island, and tie to a tree. Now, with the changing of the sands, a small boat can just go in by the Island. 4
