Tho Islander And The Tourist

Tourist: ‘Whom did you say discovered this Island?"

Islander: “The place was dis- covered by a fellow they called Jacques Cartier. That was away back in 1534, and our histories tell us that old Jacques was tickled pink when he and his lit- tle band of adventurers landed on its shores."

Tourist: "Well. Islander. it sure

Islander: “Certainly, my friend. I shall be pleased to tell you some- tnlng about the place from the days of Capt. Holland down to the present time. I

"Holland's report of the Island; -he was the guy who made t-he first survey-\vns so favorable than speculators ovrr in England yvant- ed to obtam grants of land here.1 Thus it came about that in 1767' the Lords of Lands and Planta-i tlons lotteried sixty-four of the e1] lots to officials of the Army and Navy. In this manner 64 lucky" fellows gut lame holdings by mere- ly putting a hand in the hat and drawing out a lucky ticket." I

Tourist: "That's quite a yarn, Islander, but. of course it's only a legend or perhaps a fairy tale."

Islander: "Legend my eye! l tell you it's ii fact. ii hard. rold fact.

"You see, ihe winners were sup- posed to ihcrcase the fisheries ‘rillfii also pay small yearly quitrentsfi And they were to bring in new settlers from Europe and do other things which I have now forgot- ten. Gct the idea?

"But they held last tn their cs- tates like iiiisers guarding gold. Ycs-sLr-ce-ihaifs exactly how it yavas, Tourist; and in the end every‘- thing got sort of mixed up like. It| ivas not uniil after Confederation! that the Island passed into the‘ hands of the men who farmed its fertile arr-es."

Tourist: "I've heard folks speak about Confederation. Isn't this Is- land as you call ii, supposed to be the Cradle nf Confederation."

"This is the Council Chamber where the Fathers of Confedera-| tion discussed 1ilans which later, completed at Quebec. ended in thci birth of our glorious Dominienfi, The daic was i864. so you see that was not such a long time ago." |

Faith lloalors Tangle With State Patrol

ST. CHARLES, Va, July 30 '- (AP) — A cult of snake-handling, poison-swallowing and flesh-burnii}! faith healers fought a battle of wits for hours today with state Pat-Ni‘ men.

‘Fhsresult was a meeloe which cut short thg snake-handlinz P8" of the ceremony, resulted in 1119 death o! at least four rattlcsnakes and an exciting episode f0!‘ 5.099 spectators.

However, the preacher; of thé cult told the potrolmen from i119 "snake arena“ that n0 mlllkmii" laws, 11o jail sentences nor an!’- thing else will stop the practice

the ghost ship?" “No. I don't believe I've heard that one. How about giving u:

the low down on the yarn?"

"Well," began the strantlcl‘. "W5 a mighty odd tale it. is; but then there must be truth behind it. for I've secn the ghost ship with these very eyes of mine."

Tourist: “Herc. stranger. have a cigar. and then lefifis have that. story. I am curious as a child with a new toy. Let's sit here on the

grass."

Lights were applied to the smokes. The three sirrtclied them- selves on the grass; and the old man unfolded the following weird tale:

"Every so often thb phantom ship sails down the Strait. I've watched her nosing her way through the wavrs. her white sails filled out by the breeze. And once I saw her iii the dead 0f night, her decks all lit up bright as day. It sure was a spooky sight, Tour- 1st. But ivhcre slir comes from and where she hcads for nobody seems to knaw.

“Captain Kidd buried treasure along this coast, or so they say.

My own opinion may not be ivorth a hoot but I fancy she's one of his ships still keeping watch

over that thar treasure. "One guess is about as good as, another. and I don't pretend to

know any inc-re about the mystery than anyone else. But I'm ready to swear the story is true. Others have seen her beside me. Just ploughing her way to nowhere.
