Waddington of Grosmont, near Whitby, says he visited Staithes in 1887 and found the original site covered by deep water.
Then he sighed once or twice; and then he took the better course and began to sing over his tarry work. Molly and Sylvia were far along the staithes by the time he got to this point of cheerfulness. They ran on, regardless of stitches and pains in the side; on along the river bank to where the concourse of people was gathered.
No doubt many of the superstitions of Staithes people have languished or died out in recent years, and among these may be included a particularly primitive custom when the catches of fish had been unusually small. Bad luck of this sort could only be the work of some evil influence, and to break the spell a sheep's heart had to be procured, into which many pins were stuck.
