d them it struck me. The sled took me between the
legs and I was histed back over the tongue and dropped in a heap behind
before I knew what had happened to me. I thought a tornado had struck
me. The girls couldn't stop though they thought I was killed, but Rob
came tearing down and helped me up. He was awful scared but I wasn't
killed nor my back wasn't broken but my nose bled something awful and
kept on bleeding for three days. Not all the time but by spells.

THE STORY OF HOW CARLISLE GOT ITS NAME

This is a true story to. Long ago there was a girl lived in charlotte
town. I dont know her name so I cant right it and maybe it is just as
well for Felicity might think it wasnt romantik like Miss Jemima Parrs.
She was awful pretty and a young englishman who had come out to make his
fortune fell in love with her and they were engaged to be married the
next spring. His name was Mr. Carlisle. In the winter he started off to
hunt cariboo for a spell. Cariboos lived on the island then. There aint
any here now. He got to where it is Carlisle now. It wasn't anything
then only woods and a few indians. He got awful sick and was sick for
ever so long in a indian camp and only an old micmac squaw to wait on
him. Back in town they all thought he was dead and his girl felt bad for
a little while and then got over it and took up with another beau. The
girls say that wasnt romantik but I think it was sensible but if it had
been me that died I'd have felt bad if she forgot me so soon. But he
hadnt died and when he got back to town he went right to her house
and walked in and there she was standing up to be married to the other
fellow. Poor Mr. Carlisle felt awful. He was sick and week and it went
to his head. He just turned and run and run till he got back to the old
micmac's camp and fell in front of it. But the indians had gone because
it was spring and it didnt matter because he really was dead this time
and people come looking for him from town and found him and buryed him
there and called the place after him. They say the girl was never happy
again and that was hard lines on her but maybe she deserved it.
