I was right in the way and they yelled to me to get out , but just as I heard 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 could n't stop though they thought I was killed , but Rob came tearing down and helped me up . He was awful scared but I was n't killed nor my back was n't broken but my nose bled something awful and kept on bleeding for three days . Not all the time but by spells . DAN KING . 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 was n'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 XXXXX to her house and walked in and there she was standing up to be married to the other fellow .
