one out of 5000 has heard of the pa

from the main body of Long Island by
Coney Creek, which is Il creek only
when the tide comes in.
About two hundred years ago. so the
story goes. a poor fisherman and hunter
by the name of C0onev moved with his
family down to the extreme southwest
end of the island and built a modest
little hut in which they set up their
humble home. Cooney fished and hunted
and made occasional trips over to the
north shore for trading purposes.
One day, while Cooney was away on
one of those trading expeditions n ter

where his home was situated. Every
vestige Of the hut was destroyed, and it
has always been supposed that the en-
tire family was washed into the sea
with the home, by the high waves.
For years poor Cooney searched for
some trace Of his missing family, going
into all parts of Long Island, but always
returning to the site of his former home
vainly cherishing the hope that some one
