Another instance of a traditionally petrified human being is a rock off the Creux Mahié, standing straight out into the water. It is called “La Belle Lizabeau,” and a little rock at the foot of it is called “La Petite Lizabeau.” It is said that “Lizabeau” was a beautiful girl of Torteval, who was turned out of the house with her baby by her infuriated father. Mad with despair she rushed to the cliffs and leapt into the sea with her baby in her arms, and she and her child were turned into the rocks which now stand there.--_From Dan Mauger, an old fisherman of St. Martin’s Parish._ [70] Dr. Heylyn says in his _Survey of the Estate of Guernzey and Jarsey_, published 1656, p. 298:--“The least of these isles, but yet of most note, is the little islet called _Lehu_, situate on the north side of the eastern corner, and neer unto those scattered rocks, which are called _Les Hanwaux_ appertaining once unto the Dean, but now unto the Governour. Famous for a little Oratory or Chantery there once erected to the honour of the Virgin _Mary_, who, by the people in those times was much sued to by the name of our Lady of _Lehu_. A place long since demolished in the ruine of it. “_Sed jam periere ruinæ_,” but now the ruines of it are scarce visible, there being almost nothing left of it but the steeple, which serveth only as a sea-marke, and to which, as any of that party sail along they strike their topsail. “_Tantum religio potuit suadere._” Such a religious opinion have they harboured of the place, that, though the Saint be gone, the wals shall yet still be honoured.” “LA ROQUE MANGI.” La Roque Màngi was a natural granite formation having a very artificial aspect. It stood on one of those sandy downs which extend along the north-west coast between “Le Grand Havre” and “Les Grand’ Rocques,” and consisted of a slender upright mass of rock of from eight to ten feet in height, surmounted by a large stone, projecting about half a foot on every side, resting on the narrowest part of the supporting stone, and looking at a little distance like a petrified giant. It was destroyed by the proprietor of the land about the middle of the present century in the hopes of finding below it a profitable quarry of granite, in which, however, he was disappointed. Of this rock a curious legend was related by the neighbouring peasants. It was said that the Devil, having quarrelled one day with his wife, tied her by the hair of her head to the upright stone, and that, in her frantic efforts to disengage herself by running round and round, she wore away the solid granite to the narrow neck which supported the superincumbent head.[71] The origin of the name seems doubtful, some tracing it to a family of the name of Maingy, who possessed land in the parish in which the rock was situated. Others, with more probability, attributing it to the “eaten”--“mangé”--(in the local dialect “màngi”) appearance of the stones, where the upper one or head joined the supporting upright.
