Thanks for sharing this story. I wouldn’t have thought that it would have been that easy for the boys of the island to stage ‘temporary’ escapes.

When I was a teenager in the 1940′s, we knew some of the boys who somehow would come across to our area and visit with us. There was nothing physical involved, just boys and girls talking. If I remember correctly, and that is a challenge, there were only 3 or 4 boys in the group our group of about 4 girls met with. We really knew little about the island.
