easter a F. .funny stories one time. I remember to hear my mother tell about that night. my grandfather Burke (AND THEY??). They have a big long stage, you know, anyhow the fishermen here. They go and do up their fish in the night and sometimes they be very late when they get through because they used to go out on the easter grounds in the fall of the year and bring in boatloads o' fish. But anyway, there was a fel(ler?).there used to be _something heard_ in the stage in the night, and they'd all catch the tail of each other's coats goin' up through _the stage_! That's true! They'd be so much afraid! Yeah. People scared by noise in the fishing- stage. J.D.A.
