clined. But Mr.. Evans got lot of
extra fine and prompt work out
of his helpers from that episode
on.
Mr.. Evans was a most excellent
cook, and to have a tasty break
fast for. his guests and to send
out nice lunch at noon to the
blinds, and then a sumptuous din
ner when the days hunt was over,
made him a host of no little repu-
tation among hunters.
Camp Foster did not rank as
highly as did the hunting points
like Bodies Island, or the Roanoke
Island Cunning Club at Wanchese,
or some other places along the
lower coastland of Dare County.
Notwithstanding, this hunting
ground was excellent for ducks
which were plentiful in those
early days of the century, and in
stormy or falling weather, the
marshes and creeks, and the small
bays adjacent to Camp Foster
would abound in geese. have seen
the kill of eight to- fifteen or more
geese over there and ducks in ex-
cess of that number. Above all,
the hunters received such fine
courtesy and attention from Mr..
Evans that once a hunter came
to the camp, he was sure to return
again. 1t was the farthest north
of any hunting camp along the
coastal beach in Dare County.
Durant's Island lay farther north;
but some ten miles farther inland
on the Croatan-Albemarle Sounds.
Camp Foster should have place
in the annals of Hunters History
Places in Dare County.
