    (continued from previous page)
    a woman milking a cow was seen. In another a dog with one eye is supposed to be protecting gold that is hidden in it.
    The owners of the land where the forts are situated newer interfered with them. The sweetest of music was heard in them several times. Anyone would not pick a stick off the trees that are growing in them because they say that are growing in them because they say that if you would you would die a few days after.
    Several people have made attempts to dig up the gold but were hunted by the roaring of a bull and the noise of the sea coming towards them. Also the barking of a dog hunted them.
