The Irtypud oT Mill Rock

A lIallowell (Me) paper recalls the
weird legend of Mill Rock which is told
in the following strain: A man named
Kaler is said to have once lived on Lon
don Hill. He WAS hermit, besides hay
ing the reputation of being wizard of
the most uncanny kind. Once run
away couple appealed to him for help.
The hero told the old man that he Won. d
give 100 Spanish milled dollars for a
storm that would delay his lady love :
father and friends, who We're known to
be in hot pursuit. The old man made
sure Of the cash, and then took IA small
leather bag from chest and handed il
to the young man with this remark, go
back to the crossroads, cut open the
bag, squeeze out its contents and then
run for your life" The gallant did as
directed.
In few minutes the sound of distant
thunder was heard and above it the roar
of hurricane The old man shook his
head and remarked, That bagful was
most too strong The next morning
showed that where peaceful little
brook had flowed was fearful gorge,
choked with timbers and uprooted trees.
The mill WAS gone, and the big bowlder
which had served rs its foundation had
been swept far into the river. This il
the legend Of Mill Rock the worst
obstacle to navigation on the kennebe
river
