Chilled and exhausted, he found asylum that night at the two-year-old Bodie Island Lighthouse. The keeper, William Hatzel, sat his guest before a roaring fireplace and regaled him with warm food and good stories while they listened to the soft cackle of the snow geese outside. Now wary of Outer Banks shoals, Bishop passed north Chicamacomico — at present-day Rodanthe — spying only the remote village's windmill and "a high, bald sand-beach" that was gradually smothering a maritime forest. He stayed that night with Abraham Hooper's family at a landmark then known as Kitty Midget's Hammock. The old fisherman put his guest before a great hearth where the timbers of a wrecked ship warmed the cottage. The next day Bishop joined the Hoopers hauling nets for bluefish. At sea again.
