Once there was a monster that Nassau called "The Harbor Master." At the buoy where Mr. Havemeyer dived, "shark hunts" are sometimes held. When the tide is ebbing, a goat's throat is cut and the body tied to the buoy. Or a bloated horse is tied there and bloody scraps are sent floating out to sea. Usually it is hours...
