    house was full. In the night a sea captain came and stole the mill. He made up his mind to bring a cargo of salt with him to some far away place so he told the mill to grind salt. It was not long until the ship was full of salt and sank to the bottom of the sea. It is said that the mill is there ever since and that it is the cause the sea is salt.
