    mouth of the cave but no farther for the soldier never came apass the mouth of the cave.
    Pat tried to run off but found he was stuck to the ground. He did not know what he would do. He remained in that position for two days until a passer-by saw him. He came to him and asked what happened. Pat related his story. The man then went for the priest. When he arrived he said some prayers and sprinkled him with holy water.
    Pat was released at that moment and soon after he became all right. After that anybody never went to seek for the treasure ever after.
