There were a lot of young men that came here to the bay, that married a lot of the 'young, wee, wee lassies' as the Scotsmen would say. So that is why there are many different names at the head of the bay.

PAD'S YOUNGER DAYS

In Mr. Pad Quigley's younger days, they had a small schooner that would go around pedalling. There would be molasses, flour, pork, kerosene oil, material (flannelette, calico) and lots of other stuff. There were all kinds of medicines like Dod's Kidney Pills, Sloan's Liniment and Redway Cough Syrup. In those times there was a lot of molasses used. Every house had a molasses keg that held anywhere from five to ten gallons.

One Sunday morning, Mr. Pad was in St. Mary's. In them times there were pubs around. Debra Nolan had a pub and Pad went up to get a drink and she wouldn't sell him one. She said she had lost the key. Pad got vexed and said to her, "Debra Nolan, you are always growling when 'ere I come this way. You locked the door on a Sunday morning and told poor Quigley you lost the key. Debra 'Knowling' you are always growling. You're the ugliest creature both in face and feature. You are the ugliest creature so they say you locked the door on Sunday morning and told poor Quigley you lost they key."

JOE WRIGHT

One winter there was a man who stayed at Quigley's on Quigley's Island (now Gregory's property). At that time there were a lot of people wandering around. They were called "stragglers". The man stayed there for two or three days and then went on his way. At that time everywhere was woods on the Island. Mr. Pad Quigley had a shed up the pond, which he called a cowhouse. He had a footpath up the side of the pond to get there.

That spring when he was going up the path to the cowhouse, he tripped and fell. The first words he said were, "God damn you Joe Wright." To his surprise, when he got up and looked it was actually Joe Wright's legs. Pad had tripped in the spot where Wright's legs were sticking out from under the snow where he had died.

PAD'S RABBIT TRAP

Mr. Pad Quigley was a comical man. He was afraid of the "darbies", who, at that time would be around for the twelve days of Christmas. In those days there were lots of rabbits around. Mr. Pad had a barrel sunk down in the ground. The barrel was cut smaller on one side and a nail in both sides of the barrel through the cover so it could tip. He then put birch around the barrel and perhaps a few cabbage leaves. When the rabbits stepped on the cover, it would tip and the rabbit would fall into the barrel.
