- (continued from previous page)So many boys would play and each would have an equal number of marbles.
Each boy would play against an other.
He would take a marble in his hand and shoot it and try to hit the marble in the centre, and put it in one of the holes and that counted so much for him.
If he did a certain thing he would have to go back to a line called "Taw Line", far back and shoot his marbles from that line.
It was great hardship for the person that had to go back to the line, for he could not get his marbles into the holes very easily.

The same light and another which was red, came back to where the pony was lying. The two lights hovered over the pony.(continues on next page) - Collector
