    Peter Colbert was gathering seaweed. The first thing he stuck his fork in was the body of this beautiful lady. He placed the body above high water mark, that is to save it so as the tide could not get at it. When he was going home to his lodge at the avenue gate leading to Woodhouse he saw the ghost of this beautiful lady standing there and she smiled at him.
