In this audio clip, Olive Stickland tells the story of fabled buried treasure in Juggler’s Cove:
[Olive Strickland] They said he was down there, I’ve heard Dad telling, in this little shack he had built, down towards Mad Rock, wasn’t it? Down Juggler’s Cove. Anyway, he got two men. He went out and he bought a roll of canvas for sail, and a roll of line, and he had something this length, dad said, and he had it wrapped up. He had the rope wound around so tight, side by side. When it was done up all you could see was this length of stuff, with rope around it. Well, they said, it took him and two more men all they could do to get that up on the dray. He carried it up and he got aboard the train. No one never heard tell of him after. He went on with that aboard. He come there and he went there. He was a Dutchman or Englishman or something. Yes, he found something down Scogglin’s Head!
