Barker now of Hollywood, Calif., and George F. Betts of Norwalk who did business as the Nor- walk Launch Works. The manufacturer of Barker two cycle marine engines designed by Mr. Barker, who bought out his partner, was commenced in 1901, and the boat build- ing business was given up. In 1923 the company became the Barker Factory Inc., manufacture of the two cycle engines was continued, and a repair yard for boats operated. In 1924 the company introduced a standardized set of marine conversion equipment for Ford Model T engines, which was successful from the beginning.

OTHER NORWALK ISLANDS
Pine Island, a prominent west coast elevation in the Nor- walk river, now part of the mainland, was once considered an excellent bathing site. Campfield or Canfield Island, now part of the Shorehaven filled-in property, was once owned by Mathew Canfield, early Norwalk settler. In 1672, it was in part the property of Ephraim Lockwood. Lockwood, just before he died, deeded it to his son James, the great grandfather of the Chancellor James Kent. The year 1896 found the island part of Langdon Marina and connected by a bridge to Half Mile Island, once the scene of a thriving pottery trade, of which mention was made earlier in the history. Today finds Campfield, Half Mile and also Stephen's Island, all swallowed up in the Shore- haven coastal development. On Stephen's Island, for some time lived the parent, a silver craftsman, of the late Alfred Jackson of Norwalk and his brother, LeGrand, Wall st. jeweler.
Other islands are: Crow Island, said to have taken its name from the large number of birds on the crow order which frequented the place, the island, which has practically disappeared, now being owned by Arthur E. Wickes; Dog Hammock owned by Edmond C. Browne, Richmond Hill, Long Island; Race Rocks; Grassy Hammock, where the Tolchester was stranded in 1896; Long Beach, favorite spot of Norwalk Indians and where Arthur Tolles, captain of the "Charis Second," Charles H. Harris' yacht, once found numerous arrow heads; The Plains, off Temperance Island, good only at low tide and owned by Agnes F. Smith of New York; Sheep Rock; Daskam Island now part of Harbor View; Tempest Island; Hoyt's Island, about 3 acres in size and owned by Albert Rathbone of 80 Broad

way; Sandy Hammock, 3 acres, owned by Mary J. Com- stock and H. L. Comstock; Cedar Hammock, scene of death of two young duck hunters, Alan Moran and Melville Scudder, who were frozen to death, the island now being owned by Mrs. Joseph Officer of Wethersfield; Bell Island, now part of the mainland, the island having taken its name from Captain John Bell, rich man, and owner of most of the island at one time. Stuart Island, once farmed by Robert Stuart; West White Rock or White Rock, and East White Rock; Little Tavern, and Sention or St. John's Beach, old clamming ground, are other small islands.
There are several islands in the vicinity of Norwalk harbor, often thought to belong to Norwalk but which actually belong to Darien or to Westport: Seymour Rock and Kitts Island are in Saugatuck harbor; Duck Island, in Westport waters, is owned by F. H. Minard; Sprite Island, Westport, was owned in 1771 by Rev. William Tennent of Norwalk whose father was universally known for his wonderful "trances." Rev. Tennent sold the island in 1772 when he was dismissed from his Congregational parish and it is now owned by Helen DeKay of Westport. Cockenoe Island, Westport, at one time said to have been the scene of a bootleg distillery, and at another time, to have been the hiding place of a bold pirate's treasure, is now owned by D. B. Sanford and William B. W. Smith of Westport. Butler Island, Darien, old Indian rendezvous where the Indians used to grind their corn in a hole ten inches across, and 18 inches deep gouged in a rock, is now part of the mainland. Contentment Island, once a thriving farm property, is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. John Sher- man Hoyt of "Keewaydin" Contentment Island, Darien. Fish Island, also in Darien, belongs to John Sherman Hoyt. Goose Island, scene 20 years ago of the burial of a badly decomposed body which had been washed up on shore, by David W. Raymond, local undertaker, is on the Nor- walk-Westport boundary line. Humor in tragedy is re- vealed in the remark of old timers who maintain that 100

years from now some one will dig up the bones of the corpse and proclaim a new Indian find. The island belongs to the Smithsonian Institute and has been used for experimental purposes.
