As one who knows, I feel bound to inform your readers that the 'disappearance' of Goscar Rock reported on page 6 of your last issue is neither the first time, nor the result of the 'safety' efforts of contractors anxious to promote themselves (writes Harry Gardiner). It is the second disappearance in our lifetimes. It is unusual for Goscar to remain absent in day time.

Goscar is in fact a sleeping creature, a 'blue night dragon' as our world would describe it, which, in propitious conditions, awakes, breaks out of its rock and takes off to inspect its domain along the Welsh and English coasts.

There are many other such rocks for him to check, such as Worm's Head, Monkstone Point, Gateholm etc., to ensure their inhabitants are well and sleeping deeply, but ready for the call.

When these inspections are completed, Goscar returns and with the aid of some sleeping gas, ensures, under cover of darkness, that he can settle back and complete the transformation to rock in its watchful place. That geologists have not found him is probably due to his civilisation's skill in compressing and controlling immense forces from a tiny core. (Technologies which our physics has only recently begun to describe.)

A vivid record of Goscar's previous awakening has existed in Tenby for all to see for years, (see above) residing above Reception in the Fourcroft Hotel above his bay. You only have to stand on the North Beach looking at Goscar with the Harbour behind him to witness the shape of a huge sleeping creature with its neck curling down, and its head in the sand or the waves.

'When the tide will be high and the moon rises in the night above Carmarthen Bay, then may Goscar awake to his task!'
