Tbe face i caused wonderment In the minds o 150 years and is one of the m ore ! pects of the Bandon Beach. Ilr MANY years ago, long before ¡ S r S p i y « the coming of the Indians, there lived a fair R°dde,s in her h0T e g 8^ Cl, high up in the mountains at the B Q headwaters of the Coquille river. fe iE C S g . The fame of her beauty and her kindliness spread far and wide among the gods and the goddesses and man came seeking her hand, until she was the envy of the fair and despair of the brave, for of all her suitors she took no note. .. .. « . However, tales of her beauty finally reached even Soleus, the sun god, who came wooing the fair Maymette and found favor m her eyes. Th made Oceanus, the wave god, angry, and he thirsted for revenge. Soon Soleus must return to his home in the West across the great sea, and he led his bride with him The lovers. came down from the high mountains, crossing through the tall forests until they reached the great sea, the home of the wave god. But Maymette was timid and feared to walk upon the water, which quivered as Oceanus raged. So Soleus with a sweep of his hand and a few magic words (for he was a P?werf“‘ .go^ )? i„,;n a causeway across the sea. They had but was left behind. Deserted, she sank into the waters and only her head remained above their crest, when Soleus, recovering from a blow dealt by Oceanus, asked the fate of his bride. Glancing back, Bandonus saw she was lost to his son and so he changed her body into stone to preserve it from the wrath of the wave god. Of the lover’s causeway, none but a small piece remains, and it shows a great hole in its side where Oceanus hit it with his fist. The head of Maymette still faces the home of her lover in the West; and even to this day when Soleus, who sadly went back to his job of hauling the great light through the sky, has looked upon the image of his lover with especial tenderness, Oceanus rages and as the south wind blows, you mav hear the “Boom, Boom, Boom, of his wrath as he hurls the waves through the Bridge of the Gods,” determined to scatter the last ves tige of the causeway among its former parts along the sandy shore. * Panoramic Ocean Views J ★ Challenging Course 1 * Public Welcome ] “Most w esterly golf course in the United S ta te s !” J DAVE COX, OWNER-PRO Bandon Weslmosl Golf Course Beach Loop Road, Bandon — Author Unknown.
