for his knowledge of knots, many of which were unknown by veteran 
     
     sailors. 
     
    

    
     In her essay about life on Boughton Island, Muriel wrote of the 
     
     joy the birth of twins, Donald and Martha King brought to family and 
     
     friends. Jane remembers it as well and there was a complication noted 
     
     at the time. A woman by the name of Kitty Steele sprang into action 
     
     when the time came for the twins to be born. She hurried to the King 
     
     home at two or three in the morning and was unaware of a net that had 
     
     been spread out on the yard to dry. She became entangled in the net 
     
     in the dark and had quite a time to fight her way Out of it. Eventually, 
     
     Kitty was able to extricate herself from the fish net and was on hand as 
     
     a midwife for the renowned birth of the King twins. She made it known, 
     
     however, that she did not think it was right to set a net in the yard on 
     
     such an occasion. 
     
    

    
     The coolers were zinc-covered tables. Two of these were in a part of 
     
     the building and the cooked lobsters were dumped on one where large 
     
     clouds of steam filled the building. 
     
    

    
     Another table had the live lobsters ready for the boiler. Jane and 
     
     two younger brothers were warned to stay away from this operation, 
     
     however, they 
     
     collectively 
     
     decided to break 
     
     the ban and get 
     
     a cooked lobster. 
     
     One of the 
     
     brothers, blinded 
     
     by the steam in 
     
     the room went to 
     
     the wrong table 
     
     and grabbed a 
     
    
   
   
    
     live lobster which 
     
     in turn pinched BoughtonIslandschoolgroup C. 1930's

     and all three ran away and quickly got out of sight. Fearing the wrath of 
     
     their father they stayed away for a long time. This was long enough for 
     
    
   
   
    
     everyone to become very concerned and their father’s relief at finding
