Do you realize, Dick, that you're letting the horse walk?" "I intended to," returned Dick. "Whoa!" "There's a boat coming up the river and showing a search-light," broke in Dave, pointing. "I saw it. That's why I stopped the horse. It must be Chief Coy's launch that he went after. Yes; there it is, putting in where we first saw Bert Dodge and the officers."
The well known inlet on the river, called "The Mistake," was originally called "Coy's Mistake," the name doubtless suggests by the circumstance of Coy's mistaking the channel in ascending the river, and after proceeding some miles finding himself in a "cul de sac."
One of Edward Coy's daughters is said to have been the first female child of English speaking parents born on the St. John river. The curious "cul de sac" in the river opposite the mouth of the Belleisle known as "The Mistake" was formerly called "Coy's Mistake" the name doubtless suggests the incident in which it had its origin.
"Yes," he said, with an elaborate wink in the direction of his guests, "it's a pretty good dinner, considerin' everything. Of course 'tain't what a feller used to get down at Sam Coy's eatin'- house on Atlantic Avenue, but it's pretty good as I say, when everything's considered." His daughter was highly indignant.

From this source we learn that the Coys were originally McCoys but that the "Mac" was dropped by Edward Coy's grandfather and never resumed by the family. The Coys came from Pomfret in Connecticut to the River St. John in 1763 and the family removed from Gagetown to Sheffield in 1776.

The dessert was mince pie and a Boston frozen pudding, the latter an especial favorite of Captain Sam's. He capitulated at once. "'Kamerad! Kamerad!" he cried, holding up both hands.
The name was originally McCoy; but the "Mc." was dropped by Edward Coy's grandfather and was not again resumed by his descendants. By his wife, whose maiden name was Amy Titus, Mr. Coy had a family of six sons and five daughters. His third daughter was the first female child born of English or American parents on the River St. John.
"Well," he observed, "as a boy I was brought up to always speak the truth and I've tried to live up to my early trainin'. Speakin' as a truthful man, then, I'm obliged to say that this dinner ain't like those I used to get at Sam Coy's." Ruth put in a word.
