About 20 years ago, with his brother, Capt. Ed. Rulon, he went to Exmore on the lower end of the Virginia peninsula, and started in the oyster business there.

Lane, of Tuckerton a fortnight ago, two more of the old time mariners have gone on the last voyage, and thre are almost none of their generation left.
