    Share Share Post
    There is a story told of a strange animal which stays in this district.
    It lives on a boghole and is like a big eel. If often appears.
    Mr. A. Taylor, St Francis Tce., saw it. He was going to shoot it but when it saw him it jumped back into the boghole.
    The animal had four legs and a big long tail.
    Mr A. Taylor,
    St Francis Tce.,
