    He struck one blow on the hand and it said "if strike again I will get back my power and you will (k) get killed."
    He struck no more but ran home as fast as he could, and related his story.
    Next morning the people went to the place and saw nothing but a heap of clay. The hand was never seen by anybody ever after.
