Pohy Roundup
Assoteugue

CHINCOTEAGUE, Va, July Is
|R. = Chincoteague volunteer
firemen lighted the old legend
of the wrecked Spanish galleon
again today and headed for the
annual roundup of the wild
ponies of Assateague Island.
From early dawn the firemen
rode their own mounts through
marsh grass and thicket and
herded the shaggy ponies down
to the channel for a drive
through the briny water to Chin
colleague at low tide.
The roundup and pony penning
is the high mark of the annual
firemen's carnival. The sturdy
colts will be auctioned off to-
morrow to buyers from several
States. And on Friday the mares
and stations that are the brood
stock of the herd will be driven
back across the channel to
Assateague to Craze peacefully
until carnival time rolls around
next year.
Only the colts are sold and in
previous years they have gone
under the auctioneer's hammer
at prices ranging from SIS to as
high as 5000.
The origin of the pony herd on
the windswept Eastern Shore
island is not a matter of exact
history. But the favorite legend
is that it is descended from
Arabian mounts which swan
ashore from wrecked Spanish
galleon that fell prey to pirates
A less favored theory is that the
ponies were put on the island as
a result of a Colonial law of 1922
requiring settlers to confine their
horses.
