  1. (continued from previous page)
    hut and word came to him by an old tramp that the Red coats were hunting strong for him.
    So he dressed up in old ragged clothes and went off and hid himself. The soldiers were hunting strong for him and after five years escaping them, they caught him and cut off his head. This was in the year of the famine.
