And therein, of course, lies a tale. The Norwegian steamer Nicholas Cuneo from Puerto Cortez, Honduras, passed through the Southport harbor on Monday afternoon with a cargo of bananas, headed for Wilmington. The boat was unloaded Tuesday, but 2,000 bunches of bananas included in her cargo were turned down by Wilmington fruit dealers. The Cuneo passed out through the local harbor on Wednesday morning and when she was just off the bar, her crew threw the refused fruit overboard into the sea.
