A magistrate was here and what could he do, he was on his committee and the law of responsiblility of the colony had come from St. John's, dories, oars, engines and what not was at the office in the big courthouse. They gave it out to the people that needed it, like I say 60%. So to end the Tidal Wave story for me, I would say everybody got their houses built back, built them on higher ground and smaller houses, cause they never had the money to do it.
