K.T. SlingerNARRATOR
Great quantities of grain and hay did he also raise on his fertile farm, and besides the grain and cheese that he shipped to the West Indies, he also sold to the wealthy colonists many Narragansett pacers, swift horses of the first distinctively American breed.
K.T. SlingerNARRATOR
These pacers all came from one sire, Old Snip, who it is said was of Andalusian birth and was found swimming in the ocean off the coast of Africa, was hauled on board a trading ship, and was carried to Narragansett where he was allowed to run wild on the Point Judith tract.
K.T. SlingerNARRATOR
These sure-footed pacers had a peculiar gait.
K.T. SlingerNARRATOR
They did not sway their rider from side to side, nor jolt him up and down, but permitted him to sit quietly and thus endure without fatigue a long journey.

speaker_15NARRATOR
When sheep-shearing time came, however, and Nanny, shorn of her uncanny fleece and clothed in her own half-inch snowy wool, took her place with the other short-clipped members of the flock, he ceased to be witch-rid, and the project, the conjure, was worked out.
speaker_15NARRATOR
He grew fat and fiercely brave, and became once more the knight of the field, the lord of the domain, the patriarch, the potestate of his flock.
speaker_15NARRATOR
The story of Tuggy Bannock's fright and her revengeful project spread far and wide on every farm from Point Judith to Pottawomut, and was told in later years by one generation of farmers to another.
speaker_15NARRATOR
And as time rolled on, and Nanny reared her lambs, and they had her grand lambs, the creeper sheep were known and sold throughout Narragansett by the name of witch-sheep.
