    safely. He asked the priest to go to give the woman the last sacraments. The priest got ready to go, but the would not go back again because he was afraid. He was nearly drowned when he was coming. Then the priest went alone to the little island but he got drowned as he was going there. His ghost went to give the last sacraments to the woman. When his ghost went into the (room) room his face looked very pale. He did all the things that should be done to administer the sacrament of Extreme Unction. Then he went out. Next day his body was washed in on the shore.
