    Many people have from time to time seen an enchanted water horse. A man named Rolston went at midnight in wait for wild geese. After a time he saw a black mass moving in the centre. He did not get one bit afraid but gazed on and he felt a hot breath approaching. He aimed at the animal and fired and it disappeared under water sending the water up in the air. He departed and never since went there for wild geese.
