54- story I heard was related by Lome Johnston in his Ole Salt column. He states that after a storm the"damage was incredible. The high part of the bank was gond (the Bank was located on the shore op¬ posite ); the east side of the harbour disappeared The wall of sand, red clay and old marsh was about 18 feet high... as if sliced with a huge knife." (The treasure was supposedly bur¬ ied near the junction of the beach and high bank one mile west of the lighthouse - about the location in the story). At the bottom of this wall they found an old stake fence held together by withes, an old axe which was almost perfectly preserved, and a shiny brass band which was bent around an old black chest. They dug the chest out of the marsh mud where it was preserved but they were disapp¬ ointed. The chest (teak) had no cover and the treasure if there was any was gone. The group also found huge hewed timber which the group agreed must have lined the burial place of the treasure chest. Once again the East Point treasure eluded its seekers. The third source of yarns was the shipwreck. In fact, one song "The Kitty" was written about a ship which sank off East Point . This traditional song was recorded and adapted by the Calamity Bros. It was a humorous tale of how two brothers managed to set their boat afire and how "if you see a ship ablaze from stem to stern" you know it is the ghost's:-.- Kitty.307 If the claim for the strongest man in East Point was put forward. It would probably be won by John "Big Jack" MacDonald. We have already heard of one of his feats. One day when he was in Boston, he entered a bar. Two men thought that he would be an easy mark to steal money from. "Big Jack" found out and he hit one man and left him far dead. When that man fell he took the door with him. The other man disappeared and wasn't heard from again.
