BEAR INVADES LOG CABIN An early settler who came to Prince Edward Island arrived from Scotland , and settled in Little Harbour . After building a log-cabin, he bought three sheep and then started his farming operation. The forests were thick and unmolested, and bears were quite plentiful. Care and caution were needed in order to save livestock. One day, a bear appeared near the house and killed one of the sheep, before the animal was courageously frightened off by the farmer. The carcass was immediately taken into the dwelling, so that the wool could be removed. The other two remaining sheep were brought indoors to protect them from other predators. That night, the bear returned and tried to come through the cabin door, but he found it well barred. There were no glass windows in the log-cabin, only a portable board, which in fine weather could be removed to allow for some light. The bear approached this portable window, where his appetite for some fresh mutton encouraged him to make the final attack. He drove the window cover ahead of him and managed to get his body half way into the dwelling. Then, he was confronted by three men who used sticks or any available weapon to attack the bear. The bear retreated into the forest, and was never seen near the premises again. The conclusion of this story might have been quite different if the woman and children had been home alone that night. 12
