- Near here is the grave of the "Yellow Men" where 9 shipwrecked Frenchmen were buried about 60 years ago. Their ship was in difficulties and they threw a rope ashore by which 9 were saved. One of the local young men however cut part of this fine rope (which was considerably too long at first) so that when the ship drifted a little away from the shore the cut rope was too short and useless to save the others who were drowned in that spot.
