Excerpt from Legends of Fire Island Beach and the South Side These stories embody only a small part of the folk-lore and tradition that pertained to the Great South Bay. They were told by a class of men now gone. Fact, imag ination, and superstition - each contributed its part. In the tavern, among groups of men collected on shore from wind bound vessels, at gatherings around the cabin fire, and in those small craft that were constantly going from one part of 'the bay to another, not only these tales, but others, irrevocably lost, were elaborated and made current in days homely and toil some yet invested with an atmosphere of romance.
