DONKEY HAULS WATER
, (Continued from age 1)
In one angle of the wall, raised a
'considerable distance above every-
tlfing else, is the keep or citadel, the
most strongly fortified point of the
castle, where the defenders could
take refuge and hold out for some
time after the castle proper was
taken. It has its own.well, so that
they wouhl not suffer from thirst.
' Every castle of any importance has
l a museum. Imleed, it would be more
surprising for it to lack one than to
be without walls. I felt instinctively
that Carrisbrooke must have some
partciularly juicy antiquities on view.
I was nat disappointed. The old
rooms above the gateway contain
some splendid specimens of the mns
and armor of the period of the
Stuarts, not the clumsy armor of the
days of lances, but light, tempered
corslets calculated to turn a sword
or even the bullet from a flintlock
gun.. There were stone bannonballs
which were comomnly used when the
metal ones gave out. Explosive
shells, it must be remembered, are
a Wry recent invention.
The real gems of the museum are
the relics of Charles I, I saw sev-
eral bibles and prayerbooks which
he had used. Chares was a very
religious man, and is still regarded
as a martyr by the Church of Eng-
land. There is also a locket with
some ofhis hair, the hingheworeand
the delicate lace cravat whichhe had
on the day he was executed. But I
found at least as interesting a seal
from a receipt for ship money (the
illegal tax which started the Purian
revolution.. It bore the picture of a
ship, and was at least four inch.es
in .diameter. Legal documents would
not be considered dry and uninter-
esting nowadays if they had not been
stripped of their traditional adorn-
ments.
The real attraction of the castle
the climax of the trip, is, strange to
say, not a king, but the donkey which
draws the water from the castle
well. The well, which was made in
:1150, is 161 feet deep, and the donkey
.. , .'
has to walk 300 yards in his wheel to
td'aw one bucketfall. Willing and
energetic, he starts right off as soon
as he is placed in the wheel. But
he, is far too wise to think he is
going anywhere. e keeps one eye
on the rope, and the moment the
bucket appears, .- s dead, and
sticks his head out or a lump of
sugar.
It is this patient, intelligent little
fellow whom visitors remember long
after their impressions of Charles I.
have been forgotten. After all, it is
better to be a living donkey than a
dead king.
