Winter Hard on Coastal Trade and Local Sailors
The Dorothy Youngs sailed for St John’s with fish for Tobin, and the Endurance returned from White Bay with about 300 qdls fish and herring. Sailmaker J N Tuck in Herring Neck offers six cents a yard, relief is urged for White Bay destitution, and the Virginia Lake arrived after a longer port stay due to rough seas. Lucy Preston’s funeral was held at North Side Methodist Church with a large turnout and a tribute by Rev L Curtis.
