  1. Cheekpoint's Russian Side

    The Russian - Side
    Long ago a russian ship foundered at Cheekpoint Lighthouse and nearly all the men were drowned. The few that were left made houses out of bushes, ferns, briars and everything they could get. After a time they all died and the place where they built their houses is still known as the Russian Side.
