   He undressed and went to bed, and he slept soundly that night. He became sick next day, but perhaps the drink he had taken on the night before was the cause of it. However, he says that the thought of what he saw on the previous night was responsible for it. He was up and at his usual work the following day.
   He was afraid to go out at night for a long time after that; but he now rambles about without fear. He has travelled the same way often, since then and he has seen nothing strange.
