THE STONECUTTER'S HOUSE (Contributed). . . . There was once a stone house at Soufhey Paint,

H I begin , faking my i n ­formation from an o ld newspaper c l ipp ing in Mrs. George Nelson's scrapbook, and you are a l l welcome to correct i t , or to add to the stories:

Back in the 1350's and 60 's , sandstone for*bu i ld ­ing v/as in demand in Victor ia and San Francisco. A dark-grey, easi ly-worked stone v/as found in quan­t i ty along the western shore of Salt Spring Island and f ive young men formed a company to quarry at Ves­uvius the sandstone which they sold in Victor ia for $8.00 per t o n , But local legend denies that these men bui l t the small stone house at Southey Point, and maintains that a man named Smith previously worked a small quarry by himself, and bui l t the small house. Plainly marked on the island map.is the green grassy hollow cal led Stonecutters Lake.

Smith, i t is sa id , also made arrangements for a small schooner to cal l and take on the cargo of stone blocks destined for a San Francisco market. It is also claimed that on either the first or a second t r i p , Smith, who went along to handle his own sales, was k i l led by a fa l l ing (Cont'd to Page 8)

(Cont'd from Page 7 ) . . ; ,. r. block of stone as i t was being unloaded in San Francisco.

About 1860 the first settlers took up land, and a l i t t l e later there arose a dispute about catt le rust l ing. In one case the owner of the herd discovered the i den ­t i t y of one of the rustlers and meted out his own jus­t i c e The story goes that one day a smail schooner hove to in the cove at Southey Pt. and a t a l l , heavi ly^ set man walked down to the waters edge to ta lk to the skipper. During the conversation, he mentioned cas­ual ly the catt le rustl ing and said that at least one of the thieves would never bother his stock aga in . After a further exchange of local gossip, the vessel con t i n ­ued on its way . Legend has It that for some reason the vessel returned to the cove at Southey P t . , and that the skipper decided he would take a look at the empty stone hut on the h i l l -s ide above. The hand -hewn door was swung t igh t ly shut on its wooden hinges, but the skipper yanked i t open. Stepping into the gloomy i n ­te r io r , he stumbled over something on the f loor . He looked down to discover that he had fa l len over a pair of human Tegs protruding from the earthen f loor . There is no recorcf.of the speed w i th which the skipper r e ­turned to, his ship.

,, A few days later a couple of policemen from V i c ­tor ia landed in the same l i t t l e cove and panted up the steep h i l l . There was no trace of a half-bur ied body. But;the story goes that the catt le rustl ing had stopped and that one man had disappeared and was never seen

aga in , ',':,-•;"-•'•••"• Qradual ly the door of the house rotted away. The

wooden roof fe l l in and slowly turned to-dust. Sap­lings grew into ta l l trees and a l l traces of the frails disappeared. Perhaps in another few years, a cur­ious stranger may stumble across the pi le of rubble which the bulldozers have le f t , and i f he asks about i t he may be t o l d , as I was, that i t is the remains of an old Spanish fort and that Spanish treasure is bur­ied somewhere nearby. One hundred years have a l ­most obli terated the Stonecutter's house. Can any­one help us rebui Id its story ?'

Looking back over the past two years, w i th a l l the c lar i ty of hindsight, we see things that we wished we had not said and many things that we should have said. This was bound to happen.'. At the moment of product ion, where the immediate becomes most i m ­portant, always behind in our schedule, jamming things in the paper because of no.time to re -wr i t e , proof-reading haphazardly, and wi th the occasional streak of laziness, we were in no position to judge the value of our utterings.

Anyway, We've had f u n ! And this is the beauty of producing a newspaper for Salt Spring.Island. It. is fun and we think i t always w i l l be .
