The story of a legless mystery man known as “Jerome” who turned up one day in 1863 in Sandy Cove is well-known in Nova Scotia. He was found one morning, perhaps in September, by two fishermen on the beach by the Bay of Fundy sitting up against a large rock. He was suffering from cold and exposure. Within his arm’s reach were a tin of biscuits, a loaf of bread and a jug of water. Most notably, the man was missing both of his legs, amputated above the knees. Later inspection revealed the amputation was done by a skilled surgeon and the wounds, still fresh, were properly bandaged. It was evident a passing ship had abandoned the stranger on the beach.
