A sea-sprite
had noticed her, and as he watched her, he decided that he wanted
Anne-Marie for his wife.
But
Anne-Marie had a sweetheart - William. So the sea-sprite decided
that he would get rid of William and have Anne-Marie for himself.
The
next day, William went to muck out the stable, and inside he found
a splendid white stallion. Shocked, but pleased at such a gift,
he decided he would ride it to show Anne-Marie.
That
night however, William dreamt that the stallion was dangerous, so
he picked some mistletoe and took it with him when he went riding.
As
he rode across the beach towards Anne-Marie, the stallion turned
and began to charge towards the sea - it was the
sea-sprite in disguise, trying to drown him.
William
beat the stallion about the head with the mistletoe, and all of
a sudden the horse stiffened and turned into rock. You can still
see the rock in Bonne Nuit Bay.
