(20) JOHN O' GROATS. Same source. Vague. (21) EVA'S LUCK. Source: A Jersey fisherman. Reliable. He also informed me that large stones, supported on others, were called "Fairy Stones" in Jersey. (22) THE FISHERMEN OF SHETLAND. Source: Told me by a yachting hand, who heard it from a Shetlander named Abernethy who was serving in the same yacht with him. Not many years ago, some volunteers at Beaumaris swore they saw a mermaid there, and fired several shots at it. I think this story to be genuine and beautiful. (23) THE PASTOR'S NURSE. Source: Reliable. Written for me by the Pastor's mother in French. Given _verbatim_. |
