- One night there was a crowd of men playing cards in a house in The Rower Village. It was near midnight and yet the game-players were getting more excited in the game. It was not long until they heard a low scream. All at once they threw down the cards, and flew for their lives. They found out after that it was a cat, which had so frightened them.
