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.
