The road, which anciently ran by Woolver-ton, is now carried higher up the hill-side above, a change made, according 76 THE ISLE OF WIGHT to the same tradition, because the ghosts of the dead people of Wool-verton haunted the ruins where they made their last stand against theFrench. The traces of this ancient town which was strangled out of existencein a night, standing on the shores of a harbour which is now dry land,and called by a name dating from an earlier period than the foundation ofthe town itself, are a typical example of the history of the island and thesufferings of its inhabitants in its old and evil ToQasd Map of lie Isk of Wight.
