There were a large number of swallows coursing the fields around the Haze restaurant. At that time they were mostly barn swallows and I also thought of how I remember fields and swallows when I was young! The history of Scots Bay wharfs has been studied, see: http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~mdeal/MillSurvey/millsurvey.htm Amongst the photos there is one of the wharf that now is mostly disappeared. It must have been quite a feat to build. In the photo there are oxen rather than horses.
