    old fort and when he was young he remembered to see his elder brothers play with beautiful old swords, and other beautiful ornaments and it is said that there is an under-ground passage from that to some other old ruin, but the passage is altogether closed in now and he could not remember where he had seen it.
    3.
    There is a very big fort on the Land of William Webe, and he thought it was a Lot of waste when he was ploughing, so he ploughed it, and on the night he had finished the ploughing of that field his three horses died, and every time he would take a horse into that field he was sure to be dead next morning.
