and apple trees. Fuller-tons Marsh separated our farm from the Hamm and Duffy farms in Bunbury.

At low tides one could walk across the flats and mussel beds in the channel to get to a neighbor's in Bunbury. One part of the channel was only about eighteen inches wide. We had a row boat and could row across whenever the tide was in. We spent many hours at the shore.

I had two older brothers, Frank and John, and a sister, Margaret whoisayearyoungerthanlam.Wehadagood andfaithful collie which was always near whenever we were in the water. I an still see him sitting on the shore with his head erect and watching us. Some- times the boys teased him by pretending to push Margaret and me down into the water. The dog would always jump to the rescue.
