    He reached the fort about eleven o'clock. He began to dig and kept on digging until about twelve o'clock. It was then that he saw the first of the crock of gold. He was about to lay his hand on it when he was attacked by three great wolf-hounds. He ran to about ten yards away, when the hounds went back again.
    Next day the man went back to the fort again but he found it closed. He then returned home and thanked God to be safe.
    He nor anyone else ever tried for the treasure afterwards.
