       The boatman took her to the other bank where she wanted to go and she stayed alone.           However, she helped every fisherman in difficulty. She led an exemplary life, never had a meal except shells. Her cell was built on top of the moor and had only one small window. Sainte Marine would squat down there at night to pray instead of sleeping.

       She had long and golden hair shone at night so that the small window of her house was like a lighthouse  for the sailors. She was only interested in warding off her sister's evil spell.

        During the day, she would walk along the moor with her white dress on and a cloack fluttering in the wind, the colour of which was a sure clue of the weather: light blue for a quiet day, dark grey when a storm was looming ahead. The sailors around could follow her signs and until her death, there was no wreck in that part of Brittany.
