- Stories Of Giants.
Once upon a time, a giant lived in Tynies, a district one mile southeast of Nutgrove N.S., in the parish of Coolcappa. He had a big horse that used to travel all the land every day with his master. The giant died in the year 1864, and he was buried in his land. One could see where he was buried, because the grave is covered by a flag about twenty feet in length, and six feet wide, and a long row of whitethorn trees, bordering the eastern side of the grave.
