    He stole up behind her and snapped the cloak from her. She followed him home. She lived with him and they had five or six children. One day the man was putting in oats and he hid the cloak in the stack. She asked the children did they see the cloak. They said they did not, but they saw their father putting something in the centre of the stack. She went out that night, threw the stack, got her cloak and went off, herself and her children to the sea. They were never seen or heard of afterwards.
