Island was in 1964. Lem Allen contracted with Paul Dewar to truck 
     
     peeled pulp off-island. This resulted in this news story: 
     
    
   
   
    
     Eastern Graph/C, Wed, Aug. 12/1964. 
     
    

    
     TRUCK SUBMERGED ONROUTE FROM BOUGHTON lSLAND. 
     
    

    
     “A tow truck from the Riverview Garage, Montague was caught 
     
     by a rising tide when returning from Boughton Island on Saturday 
     
     evening and had to be abandoned by its driver, Preston MacSwain. 
     
     The truck was recovered around 11 am Sunday morning and the 
     
     owner, Paul Dewar, reports that is in satisfactory condition despite 
     
     the fact that it was completely submerged. 
     
    

    
     The Riverview Garage truck was accompanying a larger truck 
     
     that was bringing a load of pulpwood off the Island at low tide. 
     
     Local residents believe this is the first time that pulpwood has been 
     
     brought off the island by truck. Four truckloads were taken off the 
     
     Island.” 
     
    

    
     Paul Dewar is still enthusiastic about the project after forty years. 
     
     His crew constructed a log boom out in the water. They filled it with 
     
     logs and then towed it in on a high tide and trucked it away when 
     
     the tide went out. 
     
    

    
     Preston MacSwain found it very unnerving to have the tide 
     
     coming up on the stalled tow-truck.Pau| had maneuvered the last 
     
     load of pulp over the flooding bar but Preston with the tow-truck got 
     
     caught when his distributor got wet. What followed was a frantic 
     
     rush to remove vital equipment as the tide rose rapidly. Paul 
     
     says he had the battery on his shoulder and the water up to his 
     
     waist when they left the scene. 
     
    

    
     Left behind, however, was Paul's half-ton used for pick-up of 
     
     logs and running errands. Sixteen years later he took a crew 
     
     back after it. They cut trees and moved it to the edge of the 
     
     bank. Before they got back to tow it away a British Navy ship 
     
    

    
     . landed cadets on 
     
     ( Boughton island for a 
     
     camping experience. 
     
     They took tire axes 
     
     and smashed it to 
     
     bits.
