| Summary: | hard Ruddy Cove called Eli Zitt a "hard" man. In Newfoundland, that means "hardy" - not "bad." Eli was gruff-voiced, lowering-eyed, unkempt, big; he could swim with the dogs, outdare all the reckless spiritis of the Cove with the punt in a gale, bare his broad breast to the winter winds, travel the ice wet or dry, shoulder a barrel of flour; he was a sturdy, fearless giant, was Eli Zitt, of Ruddy Cove. And for this the Cove very properly called him a "hard" man. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit G.M. Story JUN 1970 JH JUN 1970 Used I and Sup Used I and Sup 3 Used I
