Entry 10771

Volume 5 · printed page 4063–4064 · Wilmington, N. Car.

[There was no point in this story which I did not transcribe, eept to note that the stuff in the bottle found went round and round. This cunjure had occurred in Castlenam,&. Car., a place, if my Leadm of the name was correct, Iqoald not find anywhere. Could it have been Castle Hayne (on the U. S. A. zip code) prououni ced Castle-hun? Or could it have been an old whistle stop on the nUrd or an old boat landing? Here in Wilmington I ran into black dialect for the first time - many of my informants coming from South Carolina - it bothered me and would remain troublesome. The bottle was thrown into the river. I have includ- ed this note here in case someone has found or will find a similar action in a bottle containing cunjure.]
