Fishermen
believed that the bull roamed among these rocks at low tide
Several
years ago, Jersey fishermen talked of a roaring bull that roamed
around the rocks on St. Clement's beach at low tide.
People were
so scared of this bull that they refused to venture down to the beach,
even to go fishing.
One fisherman
refused to believe the tale about the bull, and decided to search the
rocks. Whilst he was searching, the bull began to roar - but when the
fisherman followed the sound, he found a rock pool, where the rocks had
been eroded to form a pipe.
At low tide
water was sucked down the pipe, making a gurgling noise, which echoed
loudly off all the rocks. The fishermen filled up the rock pipe - and
that was the end of the bull of St. Clement.
