Abstract
This interview is with Francis "Reg" Grady of Charlottetown, P.E.I. Reg begins by telling a story about Al Capone's hat and rum running. He then tells about Nellie J. Banks the fiddle, named after the famous ship. Reg goes back to the topic of rum running and bootlegging, tells about prohibiton officers, and begins to tell the story of his uncle John Austin Grady's heroic rescue of sailors from a shipwreck off of Priest Point in 1906. He tells of the medals his uncle and Duncan Campbell were awarded, the wake and burial of the sailors, and the graveyard where they and his uncle are buried.
