"... At another time Mr. Stewtly Horton, who was married to Hannah Fisher, sister of Mrs, Johnson, and settled at Musquodoboit, had been to Truro with his load of wheat on his back to the mill, and was returning home, he arrived at the north side of the Stewiacke River, in sight of the light from his brother-in-law's window, on the south side of the River, where he expected to lodge during the night. But before crossing the Bridge, which was only a fallen tree, he leaned himself back against the large root of a fallen tree to ease the load from his back and rest himself for a little before he would cross the River. In this position he sank into a sound sleep, and did not awake until the sun was shining clear the next morning far above the horizon. ..." page 271
