Abstract:
In Part I of a two-part article, Grant describes five weeks she spent with her uncle and a fishing crew on Topsail Island in 1934. She was seven years old. The crew was made up of thirty-five back-country watermen and farmers, who stayed on the Island from August to November. The crew fished for mullets, and each man cleaned and packed his own shares of the catch. Shares were divided into a sort of monetary system dependent upon a creman's rank, and what supplies he provided to the expedition.

Although the plant and its berries are poisonous, a familiar handler can pick young shoots and boil them to eliminate the poison. Resembling spinach once cooked, poke provides a great source of vitamins A and C.

When the U.S. Coast Guard cutter NORTHWIND came to Wilmington's waterfront last December, it docked in the same spot on the Cape Fear River that the cutter DILLIGENCE had in 1792. The icebreaker was relocated from Baltimore in 1978. Visitors are welcome about the 269-foot icebreaker on weekends from one to four before the ship returns to ocean duty in August.
