10. July 1936One day a mermaid was sitting on the strand combing her hair. Her cloak was near her on the strand. A man came up and took her cloak. She shouted at to give it to her but he only ran away with it. She had to follow him home. It was an enchanted cloak. She could not go back to the sea without out it. The next day when the man went out she tried hard to find the cloak. And when she found it she was very glad and ran away to the sea as fast as she could and was not seen any more.- Informant
