If this happened after, the isiand, now part of the Point, still belongs to the Btate. All the title under the original Pal- mer patent of the 1686 to the westerly end of the Rockaway peninsula, in- cluding the fort site, was returned In- to public ownership by @ deed from Nathaniel Ryder and wife to the Stata, dated June 25, 1814, and re- corded August 6, 1836 in the office of | vicinity of the Rockaways, however, the Secretary of State.

In 1884 an appropriation was made © Act of 1881, and In February, 1 the State caused a survey to be inade of this Rockaway Point land. The State commenced an action in ejectment to recover possession of the lands, Some claim of title by adve possession was advanced by d di ° inte, but it is believed that thie wae clearly unfounded, for the lands had been practically un- claimed for many decades, a mere stretch of barren beach, unfenoced and unimproved equatters’ shacks and ment life-saving ‘The ejectment action was settled by the passage of Chapter 660 of tho Lawe of 1887, Henry Y.
