  1. (continued from previous page)
    night they would hear the fairies singing and they would also find them hammering and making shoes.
    Another time there was a man coming home from a dance and he had to go by this fort. He heard some very nice music and he stood to listen to it.
    Soon he found himself in the middle of the fort and no matter what way he would go he could not get of out.
    About six-oclock in the morning he reached home, and he was very tired after his night walking through the fort.
