  1. (continued from previous page)
    were a lot of children buried in those old forts, who were not not baptised.
    There is a lot of land wasted with them, but no one ever interferes with them. They only keep shelter for the cattle in the Winter, among the trees. Long ago the old people were very much afraid to be out after twelve o clock in the night. There is a fort in my district, and there is a child named Gillard buried in it under a big stone.
