Myrtle (Nerine) Hayes standing in front of the top gate at "Spit House", Manson's Lagoon. When the Hayes family arrived on Cortes Island in 1917, they rented the "Big House", formerly the house of the Michael Manson family at Manson's Lagoon. The first Manson home, a cottage, was past the "Big House" towards the end of the sand spit. (Photograph from the Hayes family.)
